Dell Inspiron B130

The B130 is very similar to and uses the same jack as the inspiron 1000, 1200, 2000, 2200, 110L, 120L, and B120 dell laptops. These jacks are also used in some Acer and Toshiba models as well.
This B130 came in with the symptom of positioning the ac adapter in the right spot to make it charge. Using a small flathead screwdriver I could see the center pin on the jack was very loose.
When the laptop was all torn down the pins on the jack were intact so it was an internal problem with the center pin.
The dc jack was replaced and the laptop now powers on and charges the battery.
