Laptop Power Jack Repair & Charge Port Replacement

If your laptop only charges when you wiggle the power cord, or if it has stopped charging entirely because the connection was wiggled and jiggled too much or damaged from a drop, the internal charging port needs to be replaced.

We specialize in desoldering broken power jacks from laptop motherboards and soldering new, original manufacturer connectors in their place. This service applies to all major laptop makes and models.

Flat-Rate Pricing (Inflation Adjusted for 2026)

  • $150 Flat Rate: Covers parts and labor if you ship the entire laptop.
  • $100 Flat Rate: Covers parts and labor if you send only the motherboard.
  • No Fix, No Charge: If the laptop cannot be repaired, your payment is returned in full.
  • 30-Day Guarantee: A 30-day money-back guarantee is provided on all soldering work.
  • USB Type-C Notice: If your laptop uses a newer, small oval USB Type-C port, please visit USBCRepair.com for specialized service.

Shipping Instructions

We maintain a large inventory of replacement connectors, ensuring the exact matching jack for your model is always in stock. Follow these steps to send your device in:

1. Include Payment in the Box

Include your payment ($150 for a full laptop or $100 for a motherboard) inside the shipping box.

  • We accept cash or checks.
  • Make checks payable to: CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT LLC
  • Place the cash or check in an envelope between the screen and the keyboard.

2. Provide a Prepaid Return Shipping Label

Please include a printed, prepaid return shipping label inside the box.

  • Purchase a prepaid return shipping label from UPS or FedEx when dropping off the package.

3. Verify Shipping Addresses

Before sealing the box, double-check that our shipping address and your return address match exactly on your paperwork.

4. Pack and Mail Your Device

Turnaround Times & Shipping Information

  • Turnaround Time: Repairs are completed within 2–3 business days from the day we receive your device.
  • Chicagoland Walk-Ins: Local clients can bring the device directly to us for a 2-hour turnaround.
  • Carriers: UPS Ground or FedEx Ground are recommended. If shipping via USPS, use the cash/check option for return shipping, as retail post office counters do not print standard prepaid return labels.

Service Workflow

We receive your package, unpack it, desolder the broken jack, solder the new connector, and test the connection.

If the repair is successful, we keep your payment and the laptop is returned using your label. If the board is unfixable, your uncashed payment is placed back in the box and the device is returned. We have operated this way for over 25 years, resulting in hundreds of 5-star reviews across Facebook, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and Google.

  I shipped my computer from Seattle Washington. My ASUS N73SV laptop was repaired and shipped back to me for $100. Service was fast and the laptop is now charging as intended. I am very happy with the service I received.

  I needed a power jack replaced in my computer.  Took him about an hour, no issues and works great.  

I've done this work before, but never having to solder.  This guy was an good though, much appreciated.  I would do business with him again in a heart beat.

Oh and the price is right to at $100.  I've been quoted anywhere from $150 - $300 so this is a great price for what you're getting.

  Sent my laptop in from AZ. From shipping to return, one week. Awesome fast service for repairing my laptop power jack. Would highly recommend. Only feedback I have is, communication was non-existent. Y+Would like to have heard it was being shipped back and tracking number.

  I normally don't write reviews but his service was amazing and I myself was sooooo skeptical about just shipping off my laptop to a random company but I received my laptop and it works better than ever he also supplied me with a new power cord and it fits so nice and snug I would definitely use his service again in the future

  My laptop stopped running on AC/DC. A local computer repair business said as long as it was still running fine on battery (it was), there was nothing wrong with the computer and that it was the power jack (inside the laptop) that needed replacement/fixing. And they referred me to Applicasoft (Power Jack Repair) as they know of no one in the SF Bay Area who does these repairs. I was told by a local computer guru that the $100 fee (includes shipment back to you) is a good price (if you send them only the motherboard it is $60). As promised, at the end of the day following their receipt of my laptop, Applicasoft (Power Jack Repair) had shipped my machine back to me.

I just got it back and it works like a dream, good as new. They also fixed my broken original power supply cord (the tip was damaged) so I am glad to be using this once again instead of the replacement non-factory cord I had been using for the past six months. Thank you Eugene at Applicasoft!

  Very skilled technician working out of his home. Professional and polite. You can mail your laptop in or just drop it off locally if you're in the area. Charges a fair flate rate and works quickly. We had a problem with a laptop power jack requiring a complete disassembly, he was available to do it the same day in one hour for $100. Total lifesaver, worth every penny.

  Honestly, I was nervous shipping my laptop so far away for repair but Best Buy wanted to keep my laptop for 5 weeks and said repair cost would start at $500+. This gaming laptop is my lifeline and not just for games, I use it for a variety of things (from volunteer work to business management) and could not be without it for that long. I started searching online for how to repair it myself, that search lead me to this company, they had a youtube video on how to repair my exact laptop and he did it so efficiently. I had a tracking number and it was on it's way back to me about 24 hours after my laptop was received and it's in perfect working order, I couldn't be happier with the service provided. I have been recommending this company to my friends as well (they let me be the test dummy) All around amazing service, helpful technician and such a great price. I cannot thank you enough!

  After taking my laptop in, what was originally thought to possibly be a disconnected wire or a broken jack turned out to be corrosion build-up on both the pin and the power port.  A bit of cleaning, a little filing, some soldering, and my laptop was consistently charging again.  I am very happy with the communication, the process, and the results.

  My laptop has had an DC port issue since 2014 when it blew out on me. I paid 45 dollars to micro center JUST  to have them tell me that this was the issue and it would cost 500 REAL DOLLARS (Bender's voice) to fix it!!!! WHAT?????!!!!!! THAT'S A WHOLE NEW LAPTOP!!!!!! So I said, "Screw that crap". So it sat there for over a year and some change before I finally came across a website that intrigued me. Don't know how I came across it, but I like what I read. Hmmmmm, well I will email them to see how fast of a response I get. So I emailed them (it was late so wasn't expecting a quick response) and went to sleep. Next morning I had an email from them in my inbox with my questions answered. So I decided to ask more question, did my research and saw more than enough reviews and transactions to say ok let's give it a shot.

So I paid 100 upfront via paypaI thru their website, emailed them my P.O.P and info, packed my laptop and shipped it via fedex (18 and some change to ship it and I emailed them the tracking number. I got a response. All was well. Saw they received it and was just waiting to hear from them. They received it on a Sat so I wasn't expecting them to ship it back Sun. Usually they will fix it and ship it within 24 hours my mine was a day longer. We emailed and they ensured me they would expedite my process and ship it out ASAP. Well they did and they ensured me that it was fixed and I needed an AC adapter since mine was completely dead and even recommended me on one I should get. They emailed me the tracking number and my laptop was sent back to me via UPS, assured me in the UPS note that it was fixed and it was fast!!!! I ordered the recommended  AC adapter. When I received it, I plugged it into my port and the light lit right up and I knew it was legit. My HP Pavilion is back home and happy as ever and so am I!

I recommend these guys for sure. I was skeptical at first of course because you can't really trust anything on the web but you can trust these guys. They are awesome and are truly everything they say. Fast, reliable, trustworthy, honest and awesome. for 118 roughly, if you have a DC port issue, they will fix it and cost you way less (see above for my micro center experience with this same issue). Best deal and service you can find for this issue. Don't throw away that laptop, don't buy a new one if there's no need, don't let it sit there and die!!!! send it to the POWER JACK GUYS!!!!
