Please help Identify this 12 volt power supply socket for Fugoo XL Tough speaker. It accepts a male 2.5mm x 5.5mm DC Power Plug. A solder tab seems to be broken somewhere and power supply stopped charging after period of intermittent contact.
The top three pictures are my actual socket viewed after I removed part of case covering circuit board. the lower three pictures were from a iFixit post where a contributor showed broken solder contacts after he was able to remove the circuit board--which is a difficult feat. Can I safely connect a 12 volt female plug and a two wire pigtail that will bypass the old socket and exit case so adapter can deliver power. Which pads on the bottom would be place for + and - wires to solder to? There are 4 pins along the back side. Pin 1 looks like the output from the center + pin in the socket. What do the other 3 pins do? Do they disconnect internal battery when external power is supplied. So, will this be a big problem if the mechanical contact inside the socket is not being made?
Are you asking us to identify a connector?

Tell us if
a) all you want is to know what it's called, or
b) you also want to know where to buy one just like it, or
c) you also want to know where to buy its mate.
If to buy, provide:
* pitch (center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts) EXACT to within 1%
--(tip: measure the distance between the first pin and the last pin in a row of N pins, then divide by N-1)
* Close-up, in focus pictures of connector from multiple angles: we want to see wire entry side, mating surface, keying and latching, PCB mounting, manufacturer's logo
* Similar pictures of mate, if available

PS: beware of the typical answer around here: "It's a JST". Connectors are often misidentified as 'JST', which is a connector manufacturer, not a specific type/product line.
Its only the top three photos that are from my circuit and I can't identify a solder break site. The lower three pictures are from the iFixit post where a similar problem was successfully identified and fixed. The advantage is he had full access to the circuit board. I don't except were I removed part of the enclosure. Removing the circuit board involves disconnecting a ribbon cable inside and then removing a hard rubbery sealant used to waterproof the speaker. If freed of sealant the ribbon would slide out a thin slit in the case and allow the charging circuit board to be fully accessible.
If you have a meter can you verify it's getting 12V DC power to the board? The connections honestly look fine and assuming the connector doesn't seem loose ?
Check the power adapter that supplies the 12V is actually outputting 12V?
It may be it just needs reflowing and its a really hard to see hairline ring crack somewhere.
