Laptop Power Jack

 

Some symptoms of a bad DC power jack are:

 

  • The laptop only works when the power cord is in a certain direction.
  • The jack is very loose and you can wiggle the AC power adapter plug.
  • The laptop switches from AC power to battery power intermittently.
  • The laptop will not charge the battery.
  • The laptop only runs on battery power.
  • Sparks come out of the back of the laptop.
  • The laptop will not turn on at all.

 

How DC Power Jacks break:

 

  • Some power jacks fail under normal operation of your laptop. After a year or two of usage, parts just 'come loose' on certain models.
  • Sometimes the laptop gets dropped and the cord yanks the jack loose.
  • People, pets and vacuum cleaners all trip over laptop power cords on a daily basis .
  • The laptop is moved around a lot. After the jack is moved back and forth enough times, it comes loose.
