Charging port and power repair

A loose jack, a worn USB-C port or a failed charging circuit all look the same from outside: the laptop will not charge. We test the charger first, then the port, then the circuit, so you pay for the actual fault.

Laptop power adapter
  • DC jack / USB-C
  • Charging IC
  • Adapter

Quick answer

If charging works only when the plug is held at an angle, the jack or port is worn: a mechanical repair. If the charger is fine but nothing happens, the charging circuit on the board has failed: a component repair. If the charger light goes off when plugged in, there is a short. All three are done here, and a new battery fixes none of them.

Symptoms this covers

  • Charges only when the plug is pushed or angled
  • "Wasn't getting charged" with any charger
  • Charger light goes off when connected to the laptop
  • Not powering on, even on the charger
  • USB-C port loose or hot
  • Power button does nothing

Likely causes, in plain words

CommonWorn or broken DC jack
Plug-in cable jacks are replaced as a part; board-soldered jacks are desoldered and replaced.
CommonCharging IC failure
The chip that manages charging fails with surges and wear. Board-level repair. Chip-level repair
CommonFaulty adapter
Frayed cable or a dead brick. The cheapest fix; we test yours before anything else.
SometimesUSB-C port or PD controller
USB-C ports carry high current and wear; the power-delivery controller can fail. Both are repairable.
RarePower button or its cable
A dead button feels like a dead laptop. Replaced cheaply.

How we diagnose it

  1. Charger tested for voltage and stability under load.
  2. Port inspected for wear and the board around it for damage.
  3. Charging circuit measured on the bench; the battery is tested last.
  4. Written finding and price before work starts.

Repair options

Jack or port replacement

Cable-type jacks are swapped; soldered barrel and USB-C ports are replaced with proper soldering and reinforcement.

Charging circuit repair

Replacement of the charging IC, MOSFETs or fuse on the board.

Adapter replacement

A correct-wattage adapter from stock when the charger is the problem.

What it costs

What decides the price

  • Plug-in cable jack vs board-soldered jack vs USB-C
  • Whether the charging IC behind the port has also failed
  • High-wattage gaming jacks
  • Board damage around the port from a bent plug

We quote after a free diagnosis of your specific model, in writing, before any work starts. There is no charge if you decide not to go ahead.

Repair, or replace the laptop?

Repair makes sense when

  • Almost always: a charging repair is far cheaper than any laptop
  • The rest of the machine is healthy

Replacement makes sense when

  • Only when the charging fault sits on a board that is otherwise failing on an old machine

Questions people ask

Before you decide

Is it the charger, the port or the board? Do you test the adapter first?

Yes, always. A surprising number of "port" problems are a tired adapter. Then the port, then the circuit. You only pay for what is actually wrong.

My laptop is not turning on at all. Could it be the charging circuit?

Often. If the battery is empty and the charging circuit has failed, the laptop is completely dead. The check is free and quick.

Can a USB-C charging port be repaired?

Yes. USB-C ports are soldered to the board and replaced with the right tools; the power-delivery controller is a separate component we can also replace.
