Charging port and power socket repair

A laptop that will only charge with the cable held in a certain way has a worn or broken socket. The port is replaced on the board itself, so a new charger will not help.

Signs that point to this

  • Charging only when the cable is held at an angle
  • The plug feels loose, or the machine cuts out when the cable moves
  • A charger that works on another machine but not this one
  • The socket has been pushed inside the case

What the visit covers

  • The socket on the board tested before replacement, so the money is not wasted
  • The old port unsoldered and the new one fitted properly
  • The charger itself tested as well, since a tired charger can ruin a new socket
  • A charging and heat test before handover
