kennethk Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Are ac inputs on laptops generally soldered onto the main motherboard of the unit? This laptops all bent to hell and has to have it a certain angle before it gets a charge. Any other methods to replacing it other than buying a whole new motherboard?

wevsspot Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Many of the AC adapters are soldered directly to the motherboard, others are "snap-in". Depends on the brand, model and make of the OEM motherboard. You can usually find replacement jacks and it's just a matter of being pretty competent with a soldering iron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpikeSoprano Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 As Wev said even if you have to solder the new one it's not that bad, the worst thing is taking the dam thing apart, no need to get a new mb, the part is replaceable and easy to order online.

RHKCommander959 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Can you solder? You don't even have to be a pro. Hard part is getting the old jack out - to make it easier you can take it out in parts. There is usually 2 mounts that hold the outer casing of the jack to the motherboard, 1 in the center for the pin and at least one for the inner 'cylinder'. Continuing to use ti this way can lead to arcing which will cause damage. I've seen melting for instance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
