No need for me to order it. it is a tight fit and I recommend filing the terminals back about 1/32" in order to achieve a seamless fit. One additional hint that I think might reduce the chance that you have to go back in to tighten the nut on the new jack is to lock the nut and jack with a bit of hot glue. acts like a lock washer. should assure that your jack does not become loose.

And for those who are curious, Toshiba charges $229 for what they consider a minor repair, and over $300 for a major one. I'm not sure how they would try to classify this one.
