Power Jack Replacement

Do you think your laptop power jack needs replacement? How do you know? Without technical advice, you may not know the correct answer. The problem could be a bad battery. The AC adapter could be broken. Without expert advice, it can be difficult to dissect the situation. Do you need a new battery, or do you need a new power jack?  Is your laptop dead?  TechRx Inc. of Green Bay has the answer.

Often, I receive phone calls from individuals and business that had the power jack repaired, but this simply meant it was re-soldiered to the board. This situation should be avoided. Replacement is the proper solution.  Most power jacks are plastic and many shops simply melt them due to inexperience.  Since we do hard drive data recovery; we have thousands of hours of experience in attaching small parts to printed circuit boards.

Please give me a call to discuss your situation, and I will help you determine if repair is appropriate and what method should be taken to ensure a proper repair.

 

Here is a list of commonly asked questions:

Q. What does it cost?
A.  Prices start at $175 – $250 depending on the model of laptop, parts required, etc.
 

Q: How do I know you are reputable?

A:  How do you know anyone is reliable?  TechRx Inc. has only happy customers, proof enough.

 

Q: Do you replace the power jack in every situation, or could you simply reattach it?

A: I replace power jacks in every situation. Why is that important? The power jack itself is delicate and the pins inside could be broken. If you simply reattach it to the computer, it may not work. Additionally, you have to take the laptop fully apart to do either repair. Why chance it further problems?

Q: What if the problem is not my power jack; are you able to help?

A: Yes, I can provide specific resolutions for all laptop problems.

Q: What hours are you open?
A: I am open when people call. If it is 10AM or 10PM, please leave a message. I have many appointments each day. I return phone calls between appointments. I would love to hear from you.  I return emails too.

Q: How much does it cost?
A:
I charge $175.00 for replacement of laptop power jacks. There are several brands that would run $250.00. This is because they require additional placement and work. The price is all-inclusive. (Labor and Jack)

Q: My Toshiba laptop jack works, but it is loose. Can you make it solid again?
A: Yes, I have a special epoxy [ a professional grade brand] not CA that will bond to plastic and the jack, making it solid as a rock. (Certain Toshiba laptops have plastic mounting clips that break).

Q: How long do I have to be without my laptop?
A: Typically, it takes 1-2business days. If the laptop is brought in on Saturday, the parts are not shipped to us until Monday. At times, stock may be in short supply. You can request expedited service if you need your laptop in a hurry.
