Password + Data Recovery | Recently Completed Jobs | Tips on buying a used laptop

• Does your laptop fail to charge up when you have it plugged in?
• Does it flicker and show a dim screen indicating it is running on battery?
• Have the kids, the dog, or yourself tripped over the cord and yanked it out of the laptop?
• Have you set your laptop down and put undo pressure on your power jack?
• Is the power cable able to wiggle back and forth, or side to side after you insert it into the laptop?
• Are there broken pieces floating around inside your computer?
• Your laptop shuts down suddenly with no warning?
• You have to arrange the power cord a certain way, or prop it up with a book in order for it to work?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above you probably have a broken dc power jack inside your laptop. It is a very common thing to have happen to any laptop including Dell, Toshiba, HP, Compaq, Gateway, and Sony.

If you sent the computer back to the manufacturer they would recommend a complete motherboard replacement, often costing more than the entire laptop is worth. If you walked into Best Buy Geek Squad and asked if they could replace the power jack they would probably laugh at you.

This is a fairly hard job if you never replaced a jack before. The entire laptop has to come apart, the old jack taken off, the new jack soldered on, and then the laptop has to be put back together. I have successfully performed 74 power jack replacements.

There are some people out there that will suggest relocating the power jack. Please do not try to relocate the power jack outside of the laptop, this could cause a fire or severely damage the laptop, not to mention it looks terrible. The best bet is replacing the entire jack inside the laptop.

I can bring life back to your computer with a dc power jack repair or replacement. I have a flat rate of $125 which includes parts and labor. There are no hidden fees. You will be responsible for all shipping costs.

I am confident the overall cost will still be competitive with other laptop power jack repair centers which usually charge $100-$130 for this particular repair. I will provide a 30 day warranty for the power jack repair.

• References are available upon request.

• I will only accept laptops shipped to me from the U.S.

• Please do not forget to include your ac adapter for the laptop. It is required for testing the laptop.

• Please carefully package your laptop with at least 2-3 inches of bubble wrap, or packing peanuts all around the laptop. Include your ac adapter, but do not put it on top or on the bottom of the laptop when shipping. Please put it on the side. If you have the original packaging that came with your laptop that would be best to use for packaging.
