This Lenovo G550 notebook came in with a physically broken power port. The dc jack was pushed back inside the laptop so it couldn't charge or power on anymore.
The G550 uses a cable style input that plugs directly into the motherboard instead of being soldered on.
The laptop needs to be completely taken apart to the motherboard to access the broken socket. Once inside I see the plastic housing that holds the jack into place is also broken and needs to be glued back together like we do with many toshiba laptops.
We do this entire service with a new dc jack for $65 parts and labor. Once fixed the laptop powers on and charges the battery again!
