Damaged the power cable connection on my laptop. Is this fixable?

I've an old Cosmos laptop, everything's pretty standard.

I've manage to knock the power lead pretty hard whilst it was plugged in. It looks like the socket has cracked slightly. Since then the power lead will fall out of place quite easily and stop charging. It also seems to be a lot hotter than normal and is giving off a metalic smell.

I've stopped using it for now, but is it fixable? I've taken off the case but the socket is hidden away in more casing.
