Dell Latitude 100L DC Plug Repair


The dell latitide 100L is a business laptop from dell. It is identical to the inspiron 1150 so it will have the exact power issues as that common model I see.
This 100L showed no signs of life and wouldn't power up before the repair. After I got the laptop apart I could see the dc jack was fine but the power filter next to it was bad. Adding solder to the power filter is like reconnecting the link in a chain. If it's broken it can't power up, but once solder is added the flow of electricity is restored.
The laptop now powers up and charges the battery.
