This was the first dell xps m1330 I've seen in for dc jack repair in my shop. It came on with the classic power jack symptom of being able to hold the adapter plug in just the right way to make it charge/power on.
It's a really nice looking laptop with a 13.3" LCD, bluetooth, very portable, and fast processor.
Taking it apart was fairly easy and it uses the same nine pin dc jack dell has been using for years.
The jack itself felt loose when plugging it in so I replaced it. I got it back together and the laptop would not power up off AC. The jack was properly giving voltage to the motherboard but the power filter ( a small chip located near the dc jack) was also bad and needed some solder added.
Once the power filter was re-soldered the laptop powers on fine and charges the battery.
