What’s Involved in The Actual Repair Process?
Quite a bit actually. The dc power jack (charger port) is attached directly to your laptops motherboard and the entire laptop needs to be completely disassembled in order to access the part so that the replacement or repair may be performed.
There are “2“ different types of dc jack repair. One is significantly more difficult and much more time consuming to repair than the other.
For the majority of laptop or netbook computers, the DC Jack will usually be directly soldered to the motherboard.
- Laptop needs to be completely disassembled to perform repair
- Very time consuming and labor intensive
- Requires the Most Skill in order to be performed correctly
- If not performed correctly, damage can be done to the motherboard!
- The more expensive repair due to additional time on labor
Despite the fact that this is the easier of the 2 repairs to be performed, this is still not a do-it your self project.
- Laptop needs to be completely disassembled for the repair

- Great Care and skill still needs to exercised or damage will occur
