Laptop DC Power Jack Repair and Replacement in Beckenham

If your laptop only charges when the plug is held just so, the power jack is usually the cause. Home Computer Repairs repairs and replaces DC power jacks and charging ports for all makes and models.

Signs of a faulty power jack

• The laptop only charges with the plug held at an angle
• The charger tip feels loose or wobbles in the socket
• The battery does not charge although the charger works
• Power cuts in and out when the laptop is moved
• A bent or broken pin inside the socket
• A USB-C port that no longer charges
• Heat or a burning smell at the socket: stop using the charger and unplug it

How the repair works

We test with a known good charger first, so you do not pay for a new jack when the charger or battery is the real fault. A damaged jack is then removed and replaced, either by soldering a new socket to the motherboard or by fitting a new jack and cable, depending on the model.

Power connector replacement costs from £95 + VAT to £135 + VAT. See our prices.
