Guide to fixing a laptop power jack. Do-it-yourself
Fixing a DC power jack on your (or someone else’s) laptop can be difficult. Not knowing what you are up against is a sure sign that you won’t ever get it back together. However with the proper steps, repairing a DC Jack can be accomplished with little headache.
This is by no means an official super user manual. This write up is a check list and a general guide to help you replace a DC jack without having to purchase a new motherboard or a new laptop.
Disclaimer: I claim NO RESPONSIBILITY for anyone who fails in their attempt to replace a DC jack or any damage laptops can receive following this guide. I am just trying to inform others from the steps I have taken for DC replacement and the blunders I have performed myself.
0) As step zero, it is important to make sure that you identify a bad DC jack. If a laptop isn’t charging when it’s plugged in combined with a very loose power jack port usually indicates you have a bad DC jack. I have also seen DC Jacks that are just fine, however when looked inside, you see it has been physically destroyed on the rear end of the jack itself. Each case is mostly different, but you will run across 3 possible scenerios.
a) The DC jack has cold solders and it just needs to be resoldered (the most common). b) The DC jack has been broken in unseen areas of the jack itself (common diagnosis is the wiggling of the jack with the adapter). c) There is nothing wrong with the DC Jack and it’s an issue with something else onboard (uncommon, but it happens).

Dell Latitude D520 DC Jack Repair
This dell D520 came in with the symptom of only powering on if you held it in just the right way on the ac adapter tip. When it would come on it could not identify the ac adapter type so it wouldn't charge the battery. After taking it apart the data pin was damaged and explains why it woudn't charge the battery. The d520 is very similar to the D510 laptops with a different color and obviously updated hardware specs. Taking apart was nearly identical to the D510. The dc jack was very loose and damaged. After replacing the jack the laptop fired up and works great again. More details - thanks to blogspot.com
