This gateway M-6339u (M Series) laptop came in completely lifeless. Holding the power cord tip in any direction wouldn't get the laptop to charge or power on. I see this frequently on gateway models using the standard six pin, 2.5mm tip dc jack.
Once taken apart the dc jack looks and feels solid but due to the cold solder joint problem on these models gets replaced anyway.
After the old dc connector is de-soldered off the motherboard a new power jack is soldered on.
When the laptop is put back together it powers on and charges the battery. Assuming no one has attempted a jack replacement this type of repair comes with a one year warranty.
