The next inexpensive solution is to replace the DC Jack; however, the old one appears to be intact and the posts appear to be firmly in place. I'm thinking the problem is somewhere in the recharging circuitry.
Hi Wild-Blue
No haven't gotten round to it because I have another laptop to use.These MoBo are notorious for blown.Why do you want to repair the DC have you power is the power light on?? if it is don't waste money on it.The problem usually is component level and If you are living in the US
there are a number of places which will repair for 100/200$ eg laptoprepair.com
