I’ve taken the computer apart, however the jack is on the left side of the computer right by the hinge. I bought a power jack harness, however I can’t get the pj out.
Help please

Thanks

Instead I just bought a brand new charger from alphachargers.com and it seemed to do the trick

I’m doing it right now. I can tell you that the most difficult part is de-solder the old jack. Sometimes it has too many pads and it’s very difficult to heat and loose all at once. It’s easier with a dc jack with 2-3 pads connected to the motherboard.

Alun,
If you glued it, that’s the reason why isn’t working anymore the glue is working as a island for the connection. You will have to to the job of desolder and resolder it back or a new one.

Now you can pick it up by the power cord, and swing it around in the air with not a worry..

Why they do not sell them this way is a complete mystery….
