Laptop DC Plug or Jack Repair or Replacement
Does your laptop suddenly shut off or stop charging? Battery doesn’t charge? Does the charger not work? Does the power plug not make a good contact with the power socket on the laptop?
You may have a problem with the power outlet (DC Jack or Socket) of your laptop or with the plug of the charger.
To determine exactly where the problem is, it is important to diagnose the problem in a laboratory. If necessary, we can repair or replace the power jack or plug of any laptop.
A damaged laptop power connector or а plug is very dangerous. This can cause the computer to shut down suddenly or frequently (if the battery is broken or does not hold enough charge). As a consequence, shutting down the computer in the middle of work (due to a damaged connector or power plug) may cause more serious problems.
The most common problems caused by sudden computer shutdowns due to a damaged power connector or plug are:
- Corrupted operating system;
- Bad sections on the hard disk;
- Loss of important information due to hard drive damage;
- Damage to the BIOS and as a result – complete inoperability of the laptop;
- Damage to electronic components or the motherboard;
- Laptop starts acting abnormally.
- Windows or other Operating System freezes up or doesn’t boot anymore.
- And many other problems.
The power supply or charging of the laptop must be stable and without any interruption!
A particularly dangerous situation is when, due to a broken connector or power plug, the computer suddenly turns off while data is being written to the hard disk, as this can cause irreversible damage to the disk and the operating system. This applies to both Windows OS and Mac OS, or any other system or computer.
Laptop DC Jack Repair or Replacement
There may be several possible reasons for a DC socket not working:
- The power DC socket is damaged or broken.
- Contact wear due to aging or corrosion.
- The DC socket is OK, but contact with the motherboard is broken or damaged.
The optimal solution in the first two cases indicated above is to replace the damaged socket. Although in some cases it can be repaired. If the breakdown occurs for a third reason, the DC jack can be re-soldered to the motherboard.
To repair or replace the power connector, the laptop will have to be completely disassembled, and after the repair is completed, reassembled. It takes time and effort.
