Toshiba NB505 DC Power Jack Repair


This toshiba NB505 laptop came in with no power. I couldn't wiggle the power cord tip to get it to come on. It wasn't very loose either so I wasn't very hopeful for a successful repair. Once the laptop was taken apart the ground wire had some unsoldered from the dc jack and needed replacement.
The toshiba NB505 uses a cable style dc jack that is soldered onto the motherboard. It needs to be completely taken apart to access the power plug. Soldering is required so don't do this repair without the proper skills and tools.
Once the dc jack was fixed the laptop powers on and charges like new again.
