Acer 5570z

These past few months I've been doing tons of Acer dc power jack repairs. One of the most common seems to be the 5570z, Aspire 3680, 5050, 2480, and 3050 series.
All of these laptops use the same chassis design and are basically the same laptops with different hardware specs and features.
They all have one thing in common too. Every one that comes in has a physically broken dc jack. Not one is loose and not making a good connection like traditional dc jack problems. It seems Acer has made a lemon with a very weak dc jack.
Fortunately they use a five pin, 1.65mm dc jack that falls under our $65 parts and labor repair.
