Laptop DC Power Jack Repairs
 Does
your laptop computer not properly charge? Sometimes it's
the battery, but more commonly it's due to a problem with your DC
power jack. That's the receptacle that you plug your AC
power adapter into to power your laptop. It often times
either develops bad solder joints
or bent and broken pins. Many computer repair shops will tell you
that they
can only replace your motherboard. Most laptop
motherboards cost anywhere from $350 to $1,000 which rarely
makes sense. Instead, save your
money as we are qualified to
repair your motherboard for much much less.
There are basically two types of DC power
jacks on laptops. The most common is similar to the
sample picture shown above and it is soldered directly onto the
motherboard. The repair cost for this type DC jack is
$145.00 in labor plus $15.00 for the replacement DC jack.
We carry most of these in stock and can have your laptop
repaired within 48 hours.
The other, less common type is attached to a wiring harness which simply
plugs into a motherboard socket and the repair charge is $99.00 in labor, plus the cost
of the replacement DC jack which typically
runs $30 to $40 plus shipping and is special ordered.
If you are interested in having your charging
problems diagnosed or your DC jack replaced,
give us a call. Your computer will be
promptly in working order again. |
