Symptoms of a broken DC
power jack:
- The laptop only operates when you hold the power cord in a certain
direction.
- The laptop only runs on battery power.
- The laptop gets no power at all.
- The laptop will not charge the battery.
- The laptop switches from AC power to battery power intermittently.
- The laptop suddenly shuts off.
- Sparks come out of the back of the laptop.
Misinformation from repair
centers:
Most service centers don't want to deal with this problem by attempting to
repair the DC jack. Many, including the large nationwide stores and the
laptop's manufacturer, will either tell you the machine is not repairable or
that they will need to replace the motherboard. These quotes usually run from
$400 to as much as $1200. They choose to ignore the fact that a broken DC power
jack can be repaired without a motherboard replacement because they are not
equipped with the tools or training to do a DC power jack repair on your laptop.
How a DC jack breaks:
- The power jack on most models of laptops do not have enough reinforcement
within the structure of the casing and motherboard to handle the stress caused
by movement of the power plug.
- Some power jacks simply fail under normal operation of your computer. After a
year or two of usage, parts just come loose on certain models.
- Sometimes the laptop gets dropped and the cord yanks the DC jack loose.
- People, pets and vacuum cleaners trip over laptop power cords and break the
power jack.
- The laptop is moved around a lot. After the DC jack is moved back and forth
enough times, it comes loose.
