Bad DC Jack / charger socket Symptoms

The most common symptoms of a bad DC Jack socket are:

The laptop seems to not be charging
The laptop won’t start unless the power cable is wiggled or at an angle
The laptop will run on battery power but not on mains power
The laptop randomly charges or switches between battery and mains power

DC Socket Jack Failure

DC Jacks can fail or break for a number of reasons. Sometimes, normal wear and tear – unplugging and re plugging over time, combined with oxidation or moisture in the air can cause the jack to come loose inside the laptop. Using universal adaptor tips that don’t fit snugly, or not having the tip plugged in all the way, can cause the jack to wiggle and weaken the solder joints inside. But most of the time DC Sockets break very suddenly – usually from:

1) the laptop falls off the bed or table, lands on the charger plug;
2) someone runs past the laptop and trips on the charger cord – ripping the jack out of place, which results in a broken DC Jack socket, and a laptop that will no longer charge.

 The Cheaper Alternative

Replacement laptop motherboards (logic boards) can cost hundreds of pounds depending on the model. Replacing the bad DC Jack is usually much more economical than replacing the whole board – or even buying a whole new laptop. Plus, by having your laptop repaired – you get to keep all of your data and configuration, and resume exactly the way things were.
