In this video I show how to properly diagnose and repair a power jack on a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series laptop. Power jack repairs have progressed over the years and in today's computers they've gotten better about securing the Power Jack. sometimes you can second-guess the issue with why a power jack is not working. The only way to properly diagnose a power jack issue on a laptop is to get a complete visual on the power jack itself. From that point you can visually inspect Jack and determine where the Jack failed and the best method of repairing the jack. If you are in the Savannah Georgia area stop by and say hello. - Jak na to + styl
HP laptop:
I can’t believe it worked. I used a hair pin and gently nudged the charging hole and then I put my charger back in and it started charging! I didn’t even need to take it apart so I would suggest doing that before you take it apart
Glad I found a video with the same problem and model, Tommorow I will fix my laptop
Thanks so much!! Saved my laptop exactly when I needed it the most
Glad I could help!
Absolutely perfect training ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for doing this!! This' exactly what's wrong with my HP laptop and it's a little old by laptop standards but still great for me! I just took it to be repaired and they said they'll have to send it off and then they'll fix any and all issues they find! (The screen had a few spots but nothing that bothers me). But they'll fix it only IF they can get the parts. It could potentially be cheaper to buy a new laptop, they said.. but not if I can fix it myself with just the charging jack!! Thanks again Tim!!
Where is the best place to buy parts?!
Ebay, Amazon should have them.
nice and clear - no annoying music, good narration explaining whilst you go - so much better than many other channels! and yes, good camera angles as well and good lighting so we can see what you're doing - some channels, you can't see what the hell they're actually doing, badly lit, bad noise - you've got far better production qualities than many channels - and why do some youtubers think it's a good idea to play loud rock music in the background whilst showing us what's going on - is that supposed to help me concentrate? I mean, seriously???
Glad it helped!
Wow ! If I done what you done to fix that laptop , I'd never be able to remember how to reassemble it back . Anyway , I am very glad I found this channel because my Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series is having the same problem and I know it is just a matter of time . You're right to the point and don't waste any time .
Thanks for commenting.
I take videos and photos on my phone as I disassemble - I also make paper diagrams and then put the screws in the correct place on the paper diagram so I know exactly which screw goes back where - that helps me a lot to disassemble and reassemble!
Hi!! thank you for this opportunity to fix the same laptop you are fixing, I really appreciate you making this video. Also, while I was already detaching the cover of the laptop, I noticed that one silver screw in the battery area was obstructing me to take off the cover. I also noticed that your laptop didn't have it when you unscrewed the first screws. Now, I tried to take it off and stripped that one silver screw, so I cant't take it off and can't fix my laptop.
You will need to use a dremel tool and grind out the head of the screw.
Thank you so much. I saved $100+ in LA. Get to say Dell Inspiron 15 charger jack has a really bad design. The thin plastic part which used to fixed the jack, can break anytime when you move your charger. Honestly I didn’t even buy the part. I cut several small pieces from my daughters lego bricks，and insert them in the empty space around the jack. Glue them a little bit. And Ta-Da.
Great to hear!
Do you gotta tutorial on that, I got legos! 😂
So informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks youuuu soooo muchhhh. For such a life saving video.
Sir, this has been a great video! At minute 18:49, you were replacing the laptop bottom-plate but the old jack is still seen lying within. Did you remove it eventually? Thank you!!
Well done, Tim.
Hey...Thanks for the comment.
thanks.... was wondering how to troubleshoot that... also thought it would be more expensive to repair
Hey thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
how do you know which direction to move the pin
Nice detailed work Tim. The plastic above my hinge is cracked. Did you ever do a video, on these kind of repairs ?
Good job
Hello, do I have to purchase really the same part #? The original says 60/90W and I saw a 90W in the internet which looks really the same. What's the difference? Is that okay? Thanks!
Thank you so so much for this video!! You made it easy for this computer-challenged gal to fix my laptop! ❤❤❤
Glad I could help!
Thanks bro you've really taught me alot🙏
Glad to hear that!
So I can hot glue it back in place if I don’t have a soldering tool?
Really helped
What’s the part number for the DC Jack?
This happened to me, well I basically used a pin and nudged it back out! Worked so well.. FINALLY LOL
Thank you. Insightful. Seems the computer companies are creating a simple, but to most a fatal flaw. My Acer has the exact same problem, which happened almost right after the warranty ended. I guess they figure people will just think there machine is outdated and now broken, so they will buy a new one. What a racket.
That is so true. Thanks fore commenting.
Very good job, Mr Timster :)
Lovely how carefully you work with that laptop . For some trained eyes like mines , it's so easy to recognize a fellow experienced tech repair person who is not a noob and know how to deal properly with laptops .
Funny is when , in my case, most of the clients lie about what happen and you need to do some forensics to figure out what happen :)
Customer : the computer is not working
Me : Who broke it ? How did it happened ? Did it get hurt in a fight with the printer or with the monitor ? :)
Customer : Aaaaa, I don't know what happen . It was fine and not is not working
Me : HA HA HA . So funny for me when you all say the same :)
Yeah so true. I never take the clients words as true when it comes to their computer. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Tim. Can we use a different connector instead of the original one that is a generic connector if the original connector isn't available? Please advise immediately as I have to get this repaired. Thank you.

Thx for making sir
Thanks for commenting.
Great video
Thanks!
Hi Tim, I have an hp 17g140nr laptop that won't power on well I noticed the power jack got ripped out so I got the replacement part for the power jack and put it in. I plugged in the laptop and the charging indicator stays powered on but when I press the power button the power light turns on then shuts off and I noticed the power indicator light also turns off then back on but nothing from the laptop.
I unplugged the cmos battery, the ram checked the cables and nothing happens.
do you have any ideas?
THNX BUDDY FOR BEAUTIFUL VEDIO
Cheers!
Where abouts you located... I'm in Toronto... hope you are too I really don't want to make things worse thanks so much sorry it took so long to respond my little guy uses this account
I feel like my dumb ass will do this and mess up my laptop...
How much cost power jack
Thank you
You're welcome
I can’t get the cd part to come off
/5 what do u think is the difficulty to fix this? idk if i should do this myself honestly like how bad can i mess up?
Go for it!
I replaced my battery and charger with new one bt my laptop not charging, its working without battery please provide solution for this is it problem with that dc power jack
Thanks for this its gonna save me 99 dollars of repair fee here in Melbourne for the 10dollar part.
Yep. It's the labor that costs you.
I don't see the subscription option here !
How much should I pay a repair shop to fix my Toshiba laptop power jack? One place wanna charge $95. I'm missing a screw in that area which supposed to close the laptop is missing, so when I lifted the laptop by the screen, the internal part of the laptop opened up, which may have made the jack detach from its position.
If someone quoted you at $95 I would go with that.
@@TimsComputerRepair it may not be the jack. I took it to the repair shop, so they can look at it. Thanks!
My dell has the blue light on my cord that comes on when I plug it into the outlet but when I plug into my laptop It goes out the laptop was working fine I was using it at the time I just had to charge the battery and then it's not doing anything do you have any suggestions
Thanks
Did you ever fix this? I have same problem. Thanks
@@quagmire6343 no I didn't I actually think it's a power problem on the inside with it getting to hot for so many years its from 2012 or so wish I could get it fixed
Michael Luce I found out what the problem is for my laptop it is the adapter that my cord plugs into it's about a 6 dollar part and there's videos on CZcams that can show you how to change it.
I found an identical laptop on Ebay and was able to take parts off my old 1 and put them onto the other laptop I purchased from Ebay and it worked I still have my original cord and a working laptop how this helps you
Help please! My laptop is charging but the battery won't go up. Its been stuck at 4% for hours! Please help thank you!
Replace your battery.
exellend job hello from athens
Thanks for commenting.
Ohhh Shit forgot great video 👍👍👍👍
Did you get a pppppost lol good video
I had to go back and listen because I did not know what the hell your on about. Hahaha typical CZcams viewer. Don't miss anything.
@@TimsComputerRepair I could not resist mate, its all good.TTTTTim lol
Opened up my Dell 3000 15 series. For the amount of times the power cord is inserted, the clips aren't going to hold...hot glue is your friend I've found.
does the keyboard HAVE to come off in order to take the back completely off ?
It's not that hard to take the Keyboard off. It is probably the easiest thing.
Is there a way I can do this without taking a part my laptop or no
No
@@TimsComputerRepair ok
Why did you need to take out the key board??
There was actually another issue with the computer that required removal of keyboard.
How is it so clean inside? Did the owner just use it to throw it around without ever switching it on? LOL
the power jack is not moving but when I plug the charger into the labtop the charging light turns on for like a second and then stops
Exactly....same with my laptop
Glad to see someone go through the pain we do as a repair shop for 28 years! Great Video! Just sub'd feel free to return the favor! Greets from N.Y.
Thanks for commenting.
what if I ripped off the power jack?
How did you do that ?
u left the old power jack in there mate 18:42
something is stuck in the AC port on my laptop
And it is solid
That is the power jack center piece. It snapped off into the adapter. You will nee to replace the power jack. You can get a small pair of needle nose pliers and remove the broken piece out of the adapter.
what does it cost for something like that
Under $200
I have the same problem with the same computer
Yeah, same too, about to go fix it buying the stuff
Question I know your not going to answer this comment you have 19k subscribers. My question is cant you just not replace the port ac jack and just refix it even if you accidentally bent the main plug? Not to many videos explain this at all. I know this is a huge comment
My jack was stripped
Same damn problem with my dell 😡
I accidentally ripped out my charging jack.
how
I did that too... don't know what to do now
i have the same laptop LOL
Ummm should I be doing this myself?? I wouldn't mind spending a hundred bucks to have it done properly by a computer tech
I charge $150 at the very least for this repair.
mine will not go in but it's not moving in it
Check that the center pin of the connector is not bent.
@@TimsComputerRepair actually mine is kinda bent
What should i do
Its charging if we plug at a certain angle
@@sreedharv2897 I got the same problem
good job , remind me not to buy a Dell Laptop!
My hp has the same port
My Asus zenbook ux535 of 3 years recently had its first problem. The charging port got fried somehow. Charger does not go in smoothly anymore and neither do other ones that I tried. I would always have my charger connected to the laptop on my desk. It wasn’t an issue before so I have no clue how this happened. Tech guy opened it for me and confirmed it got fried and my bad luck it had to be connected to the mother board. I’m extremely sad as I love this laptop and now it’s been sent in to be diagnosed by a local repair shop. They have to get back to me still. I’m just very stressed that it won’t get fixed. I really don’t wanna buy another laptop as I love this one and it’s hard to find now days. I’m sorry for commenting I guess I just need the support. Seeing everyones desk setups and computers all over my algorithm makes me depressed. Is this something that can be fixed ? Once again I’m sorry for putting my problems on here. It’s just been a really rough few days for me.
Try replacing the power jack.
