What does the DC Jack do?
The DC Jack often known as the charging point, plug point or plug connector is the part of the laptop that your charger plugs into, it takes in direct current (DC) from any normal plug socket.
Symptoms?
Most people will normally know when this is going as it gets worse over time.
You can struggle to get your laptop to charge, leaving you playing around with the connector for ages until you see the charging light come on.
With some worse cases you can hear clicking noises from inside the laptop.
The pin in the DC Jack becomes lose, or the jack moves into the case of the laptop away from the outer plastics.
Causes?
This is a common repair that needs doing on many laptops. The normal way in which laptops are used, such as using the laptop on a sofa or with the cable stretch out across the room is what causes most of the damage. What will happen is every time the laptop is moved it puts pressure on the DC Jack eventually leading to it breaking. Many are broken because the laptop has been dropped when it was on charge and the end of the charger has been unfortunate enough to take the brunt of the force, this will often also damage the charger. We see many DC Jack repairs where the charger needs replacing at the same time. Clumsiness and kids are often to blame but its normally accidental and not much of a problem as most laptops are easily fixed.
