Power jacks are solid connectors and are mechanically designed to withstand heavy usage.
But like everything else, they worn out as time passes. Thus resulting in Laptop not charging issues or Power Jack problems and require a power jack repair.
Asus broken power jack Repair Process
This is a straightforward repair where we take the laptop apart and replace the broken power jack with a brand new one.
Although more than 5 years old, this laptop is still powerful for daily tasks and in good condition.
The design of these laptops is great. Although, a bit bulky the extra space inside allows easier cooling than modern thin laptops. Reducing the chances of overheating and internal component damage.

By measuring the voltage at the power jack pin, we are able to confirm that it is a faulty power jack.
These power jack replacements require desoldering the broken power jack under with a hot air tool. This tool heats the solder to up to 200*C allowing it to melt and be taken out.

Broken power jacks are a common cause for laptops not being able to charge the battery. This also causes the laptop to do not turn on when the battery is flat, and the power jack cannot bring the power into the laptop.
These repairs used to be the norm in our workshop. We do get them less often now. Mainly due to higher quality builds and laptops being lighter and less bulky, causing them to be easier to carry and reducing the risks of falls.

Repaired, not Replaced!
We are committed to reducing e-waste in Australia. How we do it is by educating our customers on the repairability and longevity of their devices, as well as providing affordable Laptop Repairs here in Adelaide.
Although our best intentions and hard work, this is not an easy task. Customers must accept that cost of high-quality electronic repairs, is between a third and half of the price of a new device. However, with the current trend of planned obsolescence in electronic design, we see more and more Laptops having shorter lifespans. To tackle that, while we do our repairs we target common planned obsolescence engineering design mistakes to ensure we extend the life expectancy of the Laptops we repair. Check some of our Laptop Repair Cases to get an idea of the process.
That said, if we buy a new one or write it off via insurance, it does not guarantee that the new one will not meet the same fate as the older one pretty soon.
As matter of fact, quite often we see accidents reoccurring within less than 2-year gaps. If we can save 1000$ or even 500$ today by repairing our faulty Laptop is great. That’s an extra half Laptop cost ready to be spent on another one when the time comes or our need for performance increases.
When that time comes is up to us to buy a new one or keep pushing the one we have, but delaying it by a year or three is always a good starting point and saves another abandoned Laptop from polluting our one and only Planet.
