DC jack repair experts
Laptop won’t charge anymore? Still works on battery?
Answer: Need DC Jack Replace or Repair
If you have a loose or broken dc connection where you plug in the power on your laptop, or it works intermittently, you could have a bad dc jack.
Loose or broken dc jack (power connector) on your laptop’s motherboard will cause the unit:
• Dead (no power at all)— the contact pins of the jack are broken or totally disconnected from the motherboard.
• Battery will not get charged or intermittently get charged.—the pins of the jack are still connected on the motherboard but become loose.
• Burning smell comes from DC jack area—the broken pins of the jack were shorted and damaged some components on the motherboard.
Symptoms
- Move the power plug and the laptop loses connection
- Broken or cracked dc jack
- Laptop won’t charge but worked on battery
- Power LED and battery LED flicker when the adapter tip is moved
- Battery won’t charge
- Sparks come out the back of the laptop
Why does this happen?
- Flaw in manufacturer designs
- Use of universal or non-original ac adapter
- Lots of plugging and unplugging of the ac adapter
- Tripping on or pulling the ac adapter cord
The wrong information some repair centers give:
Most service centers don’t want to deal with this problem on a micro repair basis. Many, including the large nationwide stores and the laptop’s manufacturer, will either tell you the machine is not repairable or that it needs a new motherboard. These quotes usually run from $250 to as much as $800. They choose to ignore the fact that a broken power dc jack can be repaired without a motherboard replacement.
Common brands with this problem are HP/Compaq, Toshiba, Dell, and Gateway. Don’t pay hundreds to fix something that can be done for under 100$. Many repair places only replace the motherboard and that can cost anywhere from $300-$1000.
