@ MP,

What size wire did you use for the connection from the motherboard to the power jack?

I think 18-14 gauge cable should work fine for this repair.

After countless fails of the dc jack, I used an old power cable and hard wired mine directly. It looks a bit ghetto, but it works great!

Now it doesn’t charge at all. I took the lap top apart in order to access the socket better but when I plugged the AC adapter in it didn’t work either.

I guess I just need to replace the entire AC power socket assembly? I’m not going to solder anything, I’m just going to order the whole thing including the ground wire and the pin clip. (Sorry not a computer person).

You think this is a good idea?

@ henry,

I have the same problem. It is a little weird anyway, I tested and the three negative pins individually were working and gave 19v with the positive. The notebook anyway, worked only when the plug was forced to one side… I can’t figure how could that be the case, but anyway, I am buying another jack and soldering it to the m/b

@ avedis,

I have Toshiba satellite l20-121 laptop. I have some problem with the screen now. It has gone dull, which means i can see the display but the backlight is not working, i have bought a new inverter for the backlight and need to know about the cable. The 5 pin connector that goes to the invertor is broken , i need a picture of it showing me which color of wire goes in which pion
There are 5 wires. Black, orange, yellow, brown, red. please can you send me a picture of the 5 pin connector that goes to the invertor

I don’t have this picture BUT why do you need it?
Just unplug the connector from the failed inverter and plug it into the new inverter. You don’t have to separate wires one by one.
