ER Computer Repair Service

Fixed fee only £65 for laptop DC power socket replacement! Inclusive Parts and Free C&R with no hidden charges and 90 day warranty.

One of the most common repairs we carry out is the re-connecting / re-soldering of broken power sockets / dc jacks. We can repair loose sockets, sockets with broken centre pins, even dc jacks that have completely snapped off.

Signs indicating the connector might be faulty are:

• The laptop wouldn’t power up unless the power lead is held in one position
• When the power lead is wiggled it makes or losses contact
• The laptop only runs on battery power
• The pin in the centre of the jack is loose, pushed in, broken or missing
• The whole connector is loose, pushed in, broken or missing
• Intermittent charging or battery wouldn't charge
• Sometimes when power is connected sparks come out or smells of burnt out
• The battery charge light (LED) flickers when the tip of the AC adapter moves
• The battery charge light wouldn't come on (lights up) when power is connected
• The screen flickers between bright and dim when the tip of the charger moves
• “Scratching” sound is coming from the DC socket when the power is connected
• Jack broken because excessive pressure applied when plugging in or someone tripped over the power lead or laptop dropped and fallen down on socket while plugged in
