Toshiba Satellite A 65 – S 126. i replaced the DC – jack on this motherboard. all seem to go right, as removing the old one was clean, replace with new one an that also went in clean. reassemble laptop, plug in ac power. charging led on yellow after two hours it chance to green showing charge on batter. push power on then all led’s go out. let sit to see if it reset to charge. even try unplug and re-plug in. if i removed batter an the ac led come on put bat in an it green on bat. what you think? thank’s

Hey i have searched all over the weeb and cant find an answer….ur giudes r amazing by the way but none of them explain the need for the sleeve. I need to better understand what they r used for cause until this laptop repair i honestly never knew they were even there. I got this msi laptop after a user tried a self repair and the pin on the back of the jack runs into the board hole like yours above but it somehow looked different then i was used to seeing and ya its just shorted out so im pretty sure the previous owner fucked up the repair and failed to mention it but please let me know what the sleeve is ment to do that way i can better find a solution that resolves the board being shorted out. I appreciate everything done so far though! Mainly i need to know does the sleeve allow the traces in the hold to be connected or does it kinda shield them from being connected allowing the + pin to avoide contact with them and only attach to the top and bottom of the pcb and nothing in between?? Please let me know and thanks in advance for your time.

I was trying to repair the power jack on a Dell Latitude D520 laptop (works off battery; does not recognize power jack when plugged in). I was soldering to make the connection between the power jack box and the motherboard. I ended up using some excess solder, and I used a wick to try to get the excess off, but I may have made a connection I should not have. When I try to boot the computer, it powers up (from battery), enters the “DELL” startup page, startup bar finishes all the way across, lights flicker and shuts off. I want to try to remove the power jack connection, clean up any additional solder, then try to turn it on. My question is will the laptop power up if there is no power jack connection in place? Thank you.

In reply to Randy. @ Randy,

I replace dc jack on HP ZD7000 laptop . And now when i hit the power button all the top lights flicker it wont power up . It did power up before I worked on it, This is real what do think went wrong ,,only I did notice one pole didnt have a complete connection so i scrap the green away to see cooper and add more solder to bridge it but that did nothing to improve it the lights all flicker when i press power button

Maybe this problem is not related to the DC jack? You said all lights flicker and it means the laptop is getting power through the jack. I really cannot tell what is wrong without looking at the laptop.

Check the video cable connection on the motherboard. It's possible the video cable not seated correctly. Try reseating the connection.
