Asus G73S/J/SW/JW DC Power Jack Repair


I keep seeing more and more of the Asus G53/73 series laptops in for jack repair. The two most common symptoms are a loose connection where you plug in the power cord. I can hold the tip of the ac adapter at just the angle to get the notebook to charge and power on. The other symptom is the missing center pin from the power plug itself. If your Asus laptop has any of these symptoms we can replace the power jack for $65 parts and labor.
The laptop needs to be completely taken apart to access the dc jack and is soldered on by six points on this 2.5mm input. It's soldered directly to the main board so the proper tools and skills are needed for this repair.
Once we replaced the loose connection the laptop powers on and charges like new again.
