Power Jack Repair at Compuxparts
Only $99*
Does
your laptop have a broken power jack? This page is here to inform you about this
problem and how to get it fixed.
Symptoms of a broken power jack:
-
The laptop only runs when you keep the power cord in a certain direction.
- The laptop only runs on battery power.
- The laptop will not charge the battery.
- The laptop switches from AC power to battery power intermittently.
- The unit suddenly shuts off
- Sparks come out of the back of the laptop.
The
wrong information some repair centers give:
While many conventional computer repair centers are aware of this issue and
will refer you to us, most are not. Many, including the large nationwide stores
and the laptop's manufacturer, will either tell you the machine is not
repairable or that it needs a new motherboard. These quotes usually range from
$500 - $800.
How jacks break:
- Some power jacks fail under normal operation of your computer. 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 vaccum 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.
Getting a new power jack installed by us:
This is a repair we do on a daily basis on ALL brands of laptops for
customers and other computer stores. We have almost every jack available in
stock. A flat rate of $99 covers all parts and labor. e.
FAQ:
Q. Can
I keep my hard drive?
A. Yes. We are able to repair and test your laptop without your hard
drive, so feel free to keep it or leave it in the machine, the choice is yours.
Q. Will this
repair work on my laptop?
A. Yes, we repair the jack on all laptops for the flat rate of $99 except for
Dell models it is $130.
Q. What
if you can't fix it?
A. On rare (5%) occasions, part of the motherboard is broken that the jack
attaches to. This usually only happens if the cord was yanked out very hard.
When the unit is opened and we note this, we do not do the repair and do not
charge you for the jack repair. We will give you some options, including
sending the laptop back, a quote on a replacement motherboard and other
options.
Q. How
long does it take?
A. We repair laptops in the order received. Turnaround time (as of
February, 2006) is about 3 business days and fluctuates from 4 - 8 business
days depending on workload. We stock all jacks to keep turnaround fast. The
actual repair and testing takes around 3 hours. Many manufacturers want 8 - 12
weeks!
Q. Will it
ever break again?
A. We do this repair daily and the laptop technicians performing the repair are
very good at it, however, we can not redesign your laptop. Some jacks mount in
to your laptop's motherboard by as few as three tiny pins. Some people consider
this a poor design. Most laptops never return for service a second time, but
note that on many models one good jerk will break the jack free again.
*On Dell laptops the cost is $130. This is
due to the cost of the proprietary jack and extra labor involved.
