The DC Power Jack or the internal on board power connector on laptops is a known weak spot, and a very common breakdown in laptops. The laptops DC Power Jack is not designed for any type of abuse. Due to the poor design of the internal DC Jack Power Connector, the mobility of, and the delicate nature of laptops & notebooks and it's electronics,, this IS a very common problem, #1 repair on laptops. Damaging the internal DC Power Jack connector on laptops can happen very easily.

 

As you see in the photo slides of the laptops power jack,

The power jack is a very small component, part plastic usually in a metal casing with very small power pics soldered to the motherboard. One to many hard pulls, "tugs" on the power cord or any accidental stress on the laptop internal power connector can weaken, and eventually break the connection. Overtime, if not careful just normal use plugging in, and un-plugging can also weaken the connection.

 

Most times when this begins to happen is you will find the laptop switching over to battery power when the cord is plugged into laptop,,, switches back & forth on it's own. Sometimes you'll find if you hold or wiggle the cord into a certain position you get power from the cord, and battery charges. THIS IS WHEN TO GET THIS REPAIRED!
 
Operating the laptop with this intermittent power problem can short, power surge the motherboard, or the on-board power fuse regulator. In which you'll have a broken DC Jack, and a damaged motherboard on the laptop. The only repair on a damaged motherboard is replacement.

Laptop Shipping Recommendations: 

For shipping, pack your laptop well! 3" of bubble wrap & packing "peanuts" is recommended. USPS free boxes DO NOT provide enough room, or space to properly pack your laptop for shipping. I have recieved laptops so poorly packed they have arrived with broken screens or in pieces. Poorly packed laptops will be shipped right back to you, and will not be serviced. The box and packaging you send/ship with is the same box and packaging I ship laptop back to you with.

 

Also advise purchasing shipping insurance, for any damages or loss during transit, and with "tracking" for your laptop.

 

FedEx and UPS has some nice laptop packing boxes specifically designed for shipping/protecting laptops, and they will even pack your laptop for you.

 

You can pull the hardrive out, if you would like,, for it is not required or needed for DC Power Jack Repair or Laptop LCD Screen Repairs. If you send the laptop with hard drive, no worries your data is strictly confidential.

 

PLEASE INCLUDE the Power Charger Adaptor Cord and Battery.

The Power Adaptor will be tested for any electrical faults also.

Symptoms of a Bad DC Power Jack Connection:

 

  • Your laptop power cord feels very loose

            when plugged into the internal jack on laptop.

  • Your laptop stops charging when cord is moved.
  • Does you laptop power cord when

           plugged in "wiggle" up, down, left and right?

  • The laptop only runs when you

            keep the power cord in a certain direction.

  • The laptop only runs on battery power.
  • The laptop will not charge the battery.
  • The laptop switches from AC power

           to battery power intermittently.

  • The unit suddenly shuts off.
  • There are no power indicators, lights, or worse, your

            laptop "sparks" out the back on unit.

  • Or all of the above.

 

 

 

 

 

How Laptop Internal DC Power Jacks Break:

 

  • Some laptop DC Power Jacks fail under normal 

           operation of your computer.

  • After a year or two of usage, the internal power

           connector just comes loose.

  • Laptop drops and "yanks" the power cord & damaging

           the internal power jack.

  • People, pets and vaccum cleaners all trip over laptop

           power cords on a daily basis, pulling, loosening, 

           damaging the internal connection.

  • The laptop is moved around a lot. After the jack is

           moved back and forth enough times, it comes loose.

 

An internal DC Power Jack on a laptop "unseats" from the solder joints, or the thin prongs snap away from the board causing the electric circuit to stop or be intermittent. Most repair shops will diagnose this as a bad motherboard which can be a $400-$500 laptop motherboard replacement repair estimate. Manufactures charge $400+ for power jack repair on laptops, once again by replacing the entire motherboard.
