Why does this happen?
The wrong information some repair centers give:Most service centers don’t want to deal with this problem on a micro repair basis. 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 run from $250 to as much as $800. They choose to ignore the fact that a broken power jack can be repaired without a motherboard replacement.
Common brands with this problem are HP/Compaq, Toshiba, Dell, and Gateway but any laptop can fall victim to a bad power plug. Don’t pay hundreds to fix something that can be done for under $100. Many repair places only replace the motherboard and that can cost anywhere from $200-$1000. For questions, email us at support@heltonscomputerrepair.com
