Signs of a faulty power connector

If the power connector is failing or damaged, it can lead to a range of issues that may make it challenging or even impossible to use your laptop as you normally would. Here are some common power connector failures to watch out for:

1. The laptop operates using battery power, but when you connect the AC adapter, the battery fails to recharge.
2. In order for the laptop to begin charging, you have to adjust the power plug within the power connector.
3. Even with a reliable power charger plugged in, the laptop refuses to power on.
4. The power connector has been pushed inside the laptop case, causing the power charger tip to not connect correctly.
5. It seems that the power connector is extremely loose and gives the impression of moving within the laptop case.

Power connectors in Windows laptops

There are just two ways the power connector is installed in a laptop. The first method involves attaching the power connector to a cable. The second method involves soldering the power connector to either the motherboard or the I/O board.

We fix damaged USB-C charging ports

Nowadays, numerous laptop manufacturers have shifted to using USB-C ports for charging laptops, rather than the traditional power connectors. These USB-C charging ports are incredibly compact and delicate, making them prone to frequent failures. If your laptop is not charging properly due to USB-C port damage, we can help replace it with a new one to make your laptop functional again.

Not all USB-C issues are the same, and not all problems can be solved by just replacing the port. Before we proceed with the repair, we conduct a full hardware diagnostic on your laptop and closely examine the damaged area after removing the motherboard for inspection.

USB-C port replacement

USB-C port replacement procedure

To replace or re-solder the damaged USB-C charging port, it is necessary to disassemble the laptop and take out the motherboard. The USB-C port removal requires a hot air rework station. Although it may seem easy in the following video, it's best not to attempt it if you're inexperienced.

When soldering a USB-C port to the motherboard, it's important to ensure all pins or pads are connected simultaneously. Timing is crucial during this process - you must heat the area just right to melt the solder and attach the new USB-C charging port without harming other components. Excessive heat can harm the plastic within the port and potentially damage the soldering pads on the motherboard. Repairing a damaged USB-C port on a laptop motherboard is more challenging than replacing a standard charging connector.

Power connectors in Apple Mac laptops

Apple Mac laptops, MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro have a superior design for the power connector as it can be swapped out without the need for soldering. The power connector in these laptops is connected to a cable or a small circuit board, making it simple to unplug and replace in case of any issues.
