Have you tried a new power cable? Maybe it’s not the power jack at all!
Sometimes it’s as simple as a new power adapter. If you don’t have one – just bring it by and we’ll try one of ours!
Have you tried a new power cable and it still doesn’t work? Or does your power cable work in a friend’s laptop?
This one is pretty conclusive. If a new power cable doesn’t work, it’s definitely a problem with your laptop. Stop by for a free estimate!
Has your power jack on your laptop been loose? Have you had to wiggle your laptop to get it to charge?
