This toshiba L455 laptop came in with the classic physically broken dc jack on see on many toshiba notebooks. The power plug is pushed back inside the laptop and the power cord won't stay connected properly or at all.
It uses a cable style dc jack that is soldered onto the motherboard but in some cases the dc jack on the end of the cable can be replaced. In other instances the dc connection is fine but the plastic housing that holds the jack into place is what needs to be fixed. In the picture above the jack needed to be glued back into place and the plastic housing fixed.
The laptop needs to be taken apart to the motherboard to access the dc jack and should be performed by a professional.
Once the jack housing is fixed the laptop is put back together and working great!
