Signs you need a new one
- The charger plug feels loose and charging cuts in and out.
- You must hold or tilt the cable to get power.
- A burning smell or a sparking sign near the socket.
- The charger light is on but the laptop shows no charging.
- The inside pin of the socket looks bent or dark.
How to get the right fit
- Check if your jack is on a cable (with a plug on the end) or soldered straight to the board.
- Measure the plug tip size and see if there is a centre pin in the socket.
- Look at the shape and number of pins or wires on the old jack.
- Try another charger first. Unstable power in your area can damage chargers, so rule that out.
Common questions
Can voltage spikes harm the DC jack?
Spikes mostly harm the charger first, but a bad charger can overheat the jack. A stable power source or a surge guard helps.
Is the jack or the charger faulty?
Test with a known good charger of the same output. If the second one also cuts in and out, the jack is likely at fault.
Is a cable jack better than a soldered one?
Neither is better. You must use the type your model was made for.
