Power Jack Repair specializes in dc power jack replacements on laptop computers. DC Power Jack on the laptop is also known as an AC DC (direct current) power port, dc power input, dc power connector, dc power socket, pin, inlet, prong, point, inlet, receptacle part, basically it is an inside piece in the laptop where the dc power plug (tip part of your AC adapter cable) plugs into.  It usually goes bad if for quite some time you had to wiggle the plug around to make the system power up or charge the battery, it also goes bad if you would accidentally drop the notebook computer from a table and it lands on a dc power plug that would push and break the inside power jack connector of your laptop. Basically, if your laptop battery is not charging anymore, you have to wiggle or jiggle the plug constantly to make the system work because the piece inside is loose, the screen flickers, then it is probably the dc power jack issue.

Our full time jobs are taking the laptops apart, remove (usually unsolder) the dc power jack from the laptop computer's motherboard, put a brand new dc power jack in, solder the new power jack to the motherboard, put your laptop back together, test it out, make sure everything works and everything was connected properly, package the laptop and send it back to you.  

We charge a flat rate fee of $100 for our services, that includes everything.   Labor, all parts (brand new power jack and a brand new power plug for your AC adapter if your AC adapter's plug is faulty). The flat rate also includes the shipping back to you by UPS, and we guarantee our work by a lifetime warranty, basically if you break your dc power jack ever again we will replace it at no extra charge.

Shipping is usually most affordable if you package up your laptop yourself, and bring it to UPS or FedEx facility.  UPS or Fedex should not charge you more than $15 to ship it by ground service to us.  USPS will charge you much more than UPS or Fedex for laptop because they charge extra for the size of the box where UPS and Fedex do not charge as much.  Please do not try to fit a laptop into one of these "flat rate" USPS boxes, it won't come to us in one peice.   We always pay for the shipping of the laptop back to you.

Very Important!!! Our company and our clients receive many laptops with screens / monitors damaged during the shipment. Bad packaging is the ONLY reason why that happens. We use your packaging and your packaging material to ship the laptop back. Please don't complain if you get a laptop back with a broken or non working screen because you haven't provided enough packaging.  Flat rate boxes provided by USPS are the number one reason why the screen gets broken. Please use lots of bubble wrap around your laptop. No bubble wrap or not enough bubble wrap means a broken screen. Please do not put AC power adapter / power brick on top of the screen when shipping the laptop to us, put the power adapter to the side of the laptop. The point is please package your laptop VERY WELL.

You can also submit a payment by Credit Card through google checkout or paypal below, please print out the receipt and send it along with the laptop.

Google Checkout above and Paypal below both accept credit cards
