New Jersey Laptop DC power jack repair services

The laptop dc power jack plug is one of the most common failure items on a laptop; most laptops will probably require at least one power jack repair in during their useful life. These jacks are usually too weak to stand up to the stresses of moving the laptop while the power cord is connected and break or get loose. Most power connectors are damaged during misuse or an accident (falling, tripping over a wire). Most service centers don't  perform this repair, due to lack of experience and proper equipment. Many, including the large nationwide stores and the laptop's manufacturers, 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 $1000. They choose to ignore the fact that a broken laptop dc power jack can be repaired without a motherboard replacement.
