How can I fix my Compaq laptop power socket?

How can I fix my Compaq Pressario R3116EA laptop power socket. It works if I wedge something under the power supply plug but this may not work forever.
I have tried removing several screws on the underside but this does not seem to release the casing. I do not want to risk using any force which might damage the casing or the 'works'.
I feel that I probably could fix or replace the socket if I could just get to it.

usually the strip just above the keyboard pings off and then the keyboard can be lifted off and then there may be some more screws under there
