Although it's been a few years since these models came out, these Dell Inspiron laptop models (the 1000, 1200, 2200, B120 and B130) are still among the least problematic Dell laptops out there as far as repair goes. Of course, this is with the exception of one problem: the DC power jack, which does tend to break somewhat easily. So, we see quite a few of these Dell laptops in our shop for DC power jack repair.

In later models, Dell used a 9-point "double barrel" DC jack, however these models have a more standard design with a 2.5mm DC power jack. The good news is that a more simple design usually means fewer complications resulting from DC jack problems.

HP Pavilion ZE series laptop DC power jack repair

The older HP Pavilion ZE series laptops are, in our opinion, the most solid laptops of all time. Of course,Satellite A65 Series, like any laptop, they do come in quite often for DC power jack repair. From our experience with the hundreds of these laptop models, however, they have a nearly 100 percent success rate with power connector replacement in our repair facility. Outside of needing to replace the DC jack, the ZE series laptops rarely have any other major repair issues.

The DC power jack used in these HP laptops is a small non-sheilded power port with three contacts: the positive (voltage), negative (ground) and a switch that tells the laptop that the adapter plug has been plugged in to the jack itself. The power jack is not reinforced, so it tends to break or come loose somewhat easily. This, of course, will lead to a dead laptop with no power whatsoever, a laptop with intermittent power and/or a laptop that will not charge the battery.

The good news is we keep plenty of DC jacks on hand for these HP and all other models of laptops out there. DC jack repair is $99 plus return shipping at Comprehensive Computing, and we turn this repair around in 1 to 2 business days.

Bad power connector can damage your AC power adapter!

Every so many laptops we see come in for dc jack repair also come with another problem.Toshiba Laptop Battery, The AC power adapter (charger) is also dead. Why does this happen? When the positive center pin of the DC jack is loose on the motherboard, the laptop will try to pull power faster from the power adapter than it should. When a laptop tries to pull excess current from a power adapter rated for 3.42 Amperes (amps), something has to give. Think of it as trying to sip through a very narrow straw. You have to work harder to get what you need. Basically it's the same type of problem. A poor connection between the adapter plug and the power jack will generate heat and even melt the power plug. Yes, we've actually seen the power plug get so hot that it melted!

We keep plenty of replacement power adapters in stock for such occasions. If you need an adapter when we perform DC jack repair on your laptop, just let us know and we'll send one right along with your laptop when the repair is complete.
