Dell Inspiron N5110 DC Power Jack Repair

The Dell Inspiron N5110 is much like the N5010 and M5010 laptops. The difference is the N5110 has a Core i7 cpu and much higher voltage demands. They both use the same 7 pin, circular barrel power plug dell and hp use.
The N5110 notebook needs to be completely taken apart to access the dc jack. It's also soldered directly to the motherboard so proper soldering skills and tools will be needed.
In most N series power jack failures I see the circular barrel of the plug break and or fall out of the laptop. What's left is the shiny copper pieces that when plugged in feels very loose when it should be very snug.
We do the jack replacement for our standard $65 parts and labor rate. Once the input connection is fixed the laptop powers on properly again.

Lenovo Edge E420/E520 DC Power Jack Repair

This is a very new Lenovo laptop and is still being sold on there website. It has the typical looking yellow dc jack Lenovo is known for. I wasn't able to locate a dc jack for this model by searching the internet it's so new.
This E520 (same power plug as the E420) came in with a physically broken dc jack. The customer reported it being dropped on the input connection while plugged in. As you can see on the picture the jack is very damaged but can be fixed. It uses a circular barrel, 7 solder point power jack. The dc jack is located on a seperate I/O board but soldering is required. The laptop also needs to be completely taken apart to access the jack.
Once the part arrives we'll be replacing the broken plug.

Acer One D250-1165/KAV60 DC Power Jack Repair

This Acer One D250 laptop came in with the classic hold the adapter tip in just the right way to get the laptop to power on/charge the battery. If you let the power cord go the netbook shuts off.
The D250 netbook uses a cable style dc jack that plugs directly into the motherboard. You can also buy just the tip of the dc plug and solder a new one on (that's usually where the break is).
The Acer needs to be completely taken apart to access the dc jack on this model. Once apart the red voltage wire was torn from the dc jack giving it no power. Once the cable was replaced the laptop works great!

MSI S6000/MS-16D3 DC Power Jack Repair

This MSI S6000 laptop came in with a physically broken power plug. The customer reported plugging the power cord in and the dc input collapsing back into the laptop. On any physically broken jack it will need to be replaced not repaired. We replace 99% of the time anyway though.
The MS-16D3 has the standard five pin, 2.5mm dc jack that Asus and MSI have used for years. The laptop needs to be completely taken apart to access the soldered on jack. Like others, the plug is located on a separate I/O board that plugs into the motherboard but it still needs soldering work done.
Once replaced the laptop works great!

HP 620 DC Power Jack Repair

This hp 620 laptop came in with a missing/broken center pin on the power plug. The pin you plug the power cord into is completely missing and needs to be replaced. The 620 needs to be completely taken apart to the motherboard to access the dc jack. It uses a six pin, 1.65mm dc jack that is soldered directly onto the motherboard. This one would be a challenge for someone with little laptop knowledge to get apart so make sure you have the proper skills and tools before taking this on.
Once put back together the notebook powers on and works great!

Acer Aspire 5332 DC Jack Repair

This Acer 5332 came in with a physically broken dc jack. It was pushed in to the side and obviously damaged. Unfortunately an individual attempted to solder the jack area and failed. It's to bad because usually this just hinders me from doing the best job I can on these solder repairs.
The Aspire 5332 uses a five pin, 1.65 mm dc jack that's soldered directly to the motherboard. The laptop needs to be completely taken apart to access the dc jack so the proper skills and tools are needed for a good repair job.

Acer One D255/PAV70 DC Jack Repair

This Acer One laptop came in with the classic symptoms of being able to hold the dc jack in just the right place to get it to power on. The customer reported it being dropped while plugged in and landing on the power cord. If I hold the tip of the power cord in just the angle I can get it to charge and power up.
The Acer D255 uses a cable style dc jack that plugs into the motherboard. If you get the entire cable jack no soldering is required. I actually buy the tip of the dc jack and solder it on to the existing cable for this model.
The notebook needs to be completely taken apart to the motherboard to access the dc jack and replace. It falls under our standard $65 parts and labor to replace the plug.
Once replaced the laptop powers on and charges the battery again.
