Power Jack Repair and Replacement
One of the most common problems we see with laptops is a faulty power jack. It’s the port where your AC/DC power cord plugs in and supplies power to your laptop. Due to their placement and frequent use, laptop power jacks can be prone to damage from accidental bumps, snags, or excessive pressure.
They take a lot of abuse! Seriously, a lot of abuse!!
Symptoms of a Broken Laptop Power Jack
- You have to keep the power cord in a specific position for the power supply to work.
- The power icon indicates you are not connected to AC power and the laptop only runs on battery power.
- The laptop battery doesn’t charge.
- The laptop switches from AC power to battery power intermittently.
- Sparks actually shoot from the back of your laptop (Important: If this happens, unplug and stop using your laptop immediately!)
- The laptop shuts off randomly.
