Can a Broken Laptop Charging Port be Fixed at Home?
It can be a challenging task to fix a broken charging port at home as you need to require special tools and of course expertise. It is better to visit a laptop repairer’s shop.
How Much does It Cost to Repair a Broken Laptop Charging Port?
Replacement ports can be bought and expect to pay Ksh.1,500 to Ksh.3,500 depending upon the type of laptop you have. And if you are not fixing it by yourself then you need to pay some extra as service charges to the repairer.
Fixing Broken Power Jack
The power jack provides the power to the device, and it can be the reason for a broken charging port. If the power jack of your laptop has a direct connection with the motherboard and is not soldered, then you can easily replace that one. If your power jack is soldered to the motherboard instead of having a removable connection, for that, you will first need to desolder the power jack and then replace it with a new one.
Fixing the Broken Charger Cable
Modern laptops do have glowing LEDs in their charging cables. If that LED is glowing, it means that your laptop is receiving proper power. Most adapters have a long wire covered with an insulator material which is mostly rubber or plastic. You need to carefully cut the insulator covering using a sharp knife or cutter. Then pull the wire inside it to see where the actual problem is.
Changing the Faulty Capacitors
Now, look at that part of the motherboard, which has transistors and capacitors present on it. If you witness swollen capacitors, then it means there is a problem with the capacitors. A very easy solution to this problem is to buy a new pair of capacitors and replace it with the old ones.
Faulty Adapter
Another major cause could be having a faulty adapter. Sometimes it is not the charging port that is broken but the adapter which has been faulty for a long time. In that scenario, you just need to contact the repairer to find the problem with the charger.
