When I look inside the barrel plug on the Chromebook, there is a small tongue of metal that catches the male plug of the power adapter. I can bend it down enough and angle the male plug enough to plug it in, but when the plug is removed, the metal flap again blocks plugging in the male plug. Can I replace the power connector on the Chromebook?

Hi,
Yes you can.
You will need SMD (surface mount device) soldering skills and tools to do the repair.
Here’s a link to the ifixit Asus Chromebook C300MA DB01 guides which may be of some help in gaining access to the DC power port.
Here’s a link to just one supplier of the part.
It is shown only to give you an idea of the cost of the part and what it looks like.
There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for Asus Chromebook C300MA DB01 DC jack part to get results.
If doing the repair seems too daunting a task, contact a reputable, professional laptop repair service and ask for a quote to replace the socket.
