Samsung R580 DC Power Jack Repair


I'm starting to see more and more Samsung laptops in for power jack repair. The use similar looking jacks to the sony laptops but are soldered directly on the motherboard instead of attached by a cable.
Just like the Sony notebooks the jacks are usually physically broken and the center plastic broken.
I don't really like the way they are all plastic and seem like they break very easily.
The Samsung R580 needs to be completely taken apart to the motherboard to access the dc jack. It is soldered directly on the motherboard so you need the proper skills and tools to de-solder and solder correctly.
Once the jack is replaced the laptop powers on and comes out of resume! Another successful repair.
