Thank you so very much for making this video. I took my laptop to the Geeksquad to have the power jack fixed and they told me it was connected to the motherboard and it would be cheaper to purchase a new laptop. With nothing to lose, I followed your video instructions, hot glued the part and voila, the laptop is like new. Not only did I save from not having to purchase a new laptop, but I gained a greater respect from my husband and kids. Thank you so much!!!!
I was told the same thing. Then they said for $80 they would extract my pictures and files for me. I told them no thanks and I just kept it. Now I can go and try to fix it myself.
A little trick I use when tearing down any device with recessed screws is to loosen the screw but don't remove it. Now use a short piece of sticky tape folded over on itself at one end (to aid easy removal/replacement) and stick it over the hole of the screw you just loosened. Repeat this until all screws loosened. They stay in the right place, avoiding loss and incorrect replacement, also easily identify if you've missed any. On replacement/re-assembly leave tape in place after initial re-screwing, and completely remove when re-tightened. You'll know you have all screws accounted for, in the right place and correctly "torqued", thus confirming correct re-assembly.
Thanks! I just repaired my power jack on a long dormant laptop. I had to resort to gluing my jack in due to damage on both the case mounting and the jack. Had a few issues wiring it back together but it's up and running again.
Hi i took apart my sisters same laptop & her Jack was off to & i seen that the plastic broken to where it should be holding on in the plastic. But i took every thing apart & cleaned the whole laptop & she told me it works again. It took me a couple of hours to carefully take her laptop apart not to damage anything & i did a good job putting it back together & got my sisters laptop working again.
I have just purchased one of these from eBay so your video is going to be of immense use to me. Shame about the audio quality of your video though, but all in all a great job
Awesome! I've had the same problem since one of my 8th Graders tripped on my cord. I've had my brother, who is an electronics technician/engineer fix it for me, but every time I move the laptop wrong, it breaks. again. I've asked him if there was a way to really secure the port to the computer body. It was great to see you use hot glue. Also, he's told me that there is not much wire left inside to solder onto the plug, can we splice in some new wire to lengthen it? Thanks. again for the great video. You've been a big help.
Thank you so much as i managed to buy a second hand Toshiba Satallite L750/L755 which by all mean's is a lot faster than my 6 year old Acer,great idea with opening mine's due to a slight problem with it just instantly powering off,blink and it's gone so i did the obvious and tried to keep the Jack-Plug kept in well as the Battery is gone completly. So i took out the battery and put that back-in ,im on a wing + prayer really as it's a very reliable Laptop until this week this power fail has arisen...Thanks for your great video's ....WOW
Thank you for this video it was a big help repairing a Toshiba laptop with the exact same problem. Good advise regarding using a glue gun as opposed to any other adhesive so providing a permanent fix.
I made this repair before watching this video, and actually, the side F7 screws do not need to be removed. They are apparently there to stabilize the hinges....
I am assuming you mean SD card reader slot. If you do not have a built in one you can get a inexpensive SD card reader that plugs into a USB connector. I seen some at Big Lots for around $12.00 or less.
Hi, thanks for the video - excellent instruction - step by step, good pace and good instruction - enabled me to easily fix my power jack problem Cheers
Hello, Thank you for sharing this video. I knock my Toshiba Satellite off of the stand and it landed on the charging port with the charger plugged into it. I now see what I need to do to check it cause now it will not connect and take a charge. This sounds like what has happened to mine. Thanks Again
Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite C670 and I have had recent power problems. When I insert the power cord into the power jack it appears to be very loose and comes out easily. Also the battery's life is getting shorter and shorter by the day. I usually have the power cord in all the time. I use the laptop daily and so I suppose this could be wear and tear, but I need to know if I can either replace the power jack for a tighter one or replace the power cord for a new one. Which is best? Thanks for your help.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L830. It fell off the stand and the palmrest jack socket cracked and it won’t connect. 0000000e9. Using your video I’m gonna get the parts and attempt to fix it. Fingers crossed.
I wish u could fix my computers both Toshiba Satellite L515 and Hp. my Toshiba I have for 8 years and probably needs a Fan cleaning, but sadly I have to take them both to a Laptop repair where they will charge me for that Fan Cleaning.
hi guru i have a toshiba and i did a recovery on my toshiba it accepted the recovery disk it came with but then it freezes mid way after it reboots to continue with the recover it show that it freezes in 9 of the 71 i guess of the driver's and things that it is suppose to download what can i do I need it to finish the recovery to be able to use it.
I just went to power mine up today and the screen won’t come on most of the batteries. I must’ve spent three hours try and get it open. Didn’t even think to check for hidden screws under the keyboard cover
Do you know what happen when I left the power cord on a power jack and not charging it for a few weeks (I guess) .Now when I turn on the charging switch the led light on my charger keeps blinking means it can't charge my laptop .Since my laptop can't turn on w/o a battery .I suspect the power jack might go rust ?I didn't want to sent it for a repair yet I might want to find a solution here first .I tried cleaning the power jack with a q-tip but nothing change .Btw I'm using Acer Aspire .I hope to hear from you soon sir and sorry for my bad English .
also when i turn it off it will not come back on the only way to get it back on is to cover the side where the fan is wait 45 min then turn it off then turn it back on and that helps it to start any ideas what it can be.
hello there, my screen was jumping and thought to unplug and plugback the cord to the screen, accidentally my laptop was turned on at that time and , while i was doing a little spark occurred, don't know why, now the screen is not at all working,its just like not being connected to the laptop, dead, what to do, is it the screen's problem or the cod. it was working but was only jumping, but if you press at the bottom of the screen jumping even would stop at that time, now even all is dead (thosiba satellitec660)
I've never actually worked with technology like this. Would you suggest I try my luck at following your guide and fix my computer's power socket or just get a professional to do it? Anybody can answer.
+Vidia Ree If you have a quiet, well lit bench area that you can use for disassembly and can abandon safely, i.e. leave stuff in bits without strangers interfering, then you could attempt such a repair. Make sure you have suitable small screwdriver and torque driver tools, a magnifier might help if you have difficulty seeing small parts. A couple of old fridge magnets (like from calendars or pizza menus) can be handy to capture and hold screws after they've been removed (or you can use my "tip" posted here some months ago). Another useful thing is to use a camera to document every step in disassembly so you can refer to those pix when reassembling and get the sequence right. If you can take your time without distraction and interference, and apply good attention to detail then you'll probably get a good result. The only risks are when taking some "clipped" items apart be gentle and don't resort to levering/prying them apart with screwdriver tips etc. as you'll likely break small plastic hooks which could result in ineffective reassembly. If you can't get it apart with your fingernails then there's possibly a screw you've missed somewhere preventing separation (they sometimes hide under labels, fingertip pressure usually reveals the recess under the label where the hidden screw is located). Depending on your budget, the QUOTED cost, and a warranty offer by a qualified, referred repairer, you may chose to have the peace of mind by having done for you....
Wow samethng just happend to me excpt it fell on the floor on the side of the cord....whch caused it to fall in thanks ima go out in get a screw in do this
Second time I've made this repair. NOTE: use good glue. I used a flexible quick grip that broke when'd dropped a second time (3 kids). This time, I used hot glue...much stronger bond
I have a toshiba m500 and it boot fo 5 seconds then shutdown i tried many things with battery and charger and nothing happens . what could be the problem ? I can upload a video for you if you want .
I had to Replace the power jack AC adapter harnness . And then I put it all back together But left Screws out in case it didn't power up. W'ell I got power but had a yellow blinking light and then the light shut off. I know that the Battery was completely dead.. So I tried to power it up again and had the same response with the light blinking again then shutting off. I didn't understand the meaning of what that yelloow blinking light meant , But I figured I had power other wise I wouldn't have had any lights at all So I had my roomate who originally took the screws out of my toshiba laptop. put them back in since he was supppose to remember were the screws wen't He couldn't figure out what scew went were and after putting them in . I tried to power it up one more time and had nothing no power at all . Can someone please HELP .I don't know what more to do. and don't have a whole lot of knowledge on laptops But I have built many Desktops and never had a problem, .I tried to tell my roommate that there was a diagram on what screw wen't were that theywere numbered on the bottom next to were you insert each screw . And he replied with It doesn't mater were the screws go . If that were the case , they wouldn't of had a diagram of what screw went in each hole. I told him. So I suspect that he has Damaged the Motherboard . But don't know how to run a Diagnostic on it. And need some help. Is there anyone that can give me some Advice., on this Tragedy. Thank you Sincerly Miss Sherwood.
Regina Sherwood Wow Regina sorry to hear of your misfortune. You are correct in saying that the screw length in particular does matter. If a long screw is driven to deeply it can damage components, boards and/or wires. Hopefully, a screw that was to long is just shorting out a spot on the circuit board preventing it from powering up and has done no further damage. If it were mine I would completely take it back apart and look for signs of damage as I remove each screw. Pay particular attention to how tightly the screw resist removal may be a clue to the culprit. Hopefully you can visually see the damage and act accordingly. Once the problem is resolved Google your machines make and model for the service manual and that will help you insert the correct sized fasteners in the correct location. Best of luck. Come to think of it.... Maybe, the power harness plug came out when the case was put back together and it's not a screw at all. Either way, look up that service manual. Steve
Hello, I have a Toshiba and something is always burning up the power supply device, I have replaced them 3 times. Any idea what could be causing the problem? thanks
Have you googled your model to see if others are experiencing the same issues? I would guess it to be an internal short and that would be very hard to track down unless it's a cap going bad and you can see it failing visually.

Dude you just gave me back my favorite laptop ever after 4 years of not being able to use it. I've had it for 13 years thank you so much!!!

Retinalism thx
Very clever.
My Toshiba P200 -RT5 is still kicking ass in 2024. How is this thing still alive? I love this retro beast.
Thanks! I just repaired my power jack on a long dormant laptop. I had to resort to gluing my jack in due to damage on both the case mounting and the jack. Had a few issues wiring it back together but it's up and running again.
Hi i took apart my sisters same laptop & her Jack was off to & i seen that the plastic broken to where it should be holding on in the plastic.

Just followed your step-by-step instructions and now Iv fixed my power jack on my Toshiba. Thank you some mush for this video.
Thank you. This is a great video. Was able to fix my computer in a couple of hours. Not too much talking...highly recommended.
I have different toshiba model,I saw first six minutes of your video,I got the idea and fixed my jack...thanks a lot ...your video is great
I have just purchased one of these from eBay so your video is going to be of immense use to me. Shame about the audio quality of your video though, but all in all a great job

Your right, the heat sink fins trap dust bunnies so it is a good idea to clean the entire cooling system

Where do you live, Steve? Salt Lake City perchance? I have the same problem and do not want to risk fixing it myself.
thank you pal yeah it doesnt have 1 ! il have to buy an adapter for it! thanks again!

Use 2 part epoxy. Hot glue is just melted rubber, leave it for sticking flowers to wreaths not real repairs.
Its not the fan that needs hoovering usually itsthe heat sink that the fan blows though usually
thanks man
Thank you so much, this video was so helpful and now I can play minecraft. 😄
I have a toshiba m500 and it boot fo 5 seconds then shutdown i tried many things with battery and charger and nothing happens . what could be the problem ? I can upload a video for you if you want .
You should talk and explain as you’re working.
how do i use an sd adapter on my toshiba l300 doesnt seem to have a port anywer>?
think you
Glad to see it's not attached to the motherboard. Think I'd still rather pay someone to fix it.
THANK YOU SIR I CAN FIX MY COMOUTER NOW :D
i have the same laptop but its the charger block how do i fix it it smell like burnt plastic
how can i get my c55-B5240 start button to turn on?
If your careful it doesn't effect anything
Is there a site where they let people learn how to do this stuff step-by-step for free maybe?
This just happened to my L300 that I was given. I'm scared to open it up though :S hopefully I can fix it.
Thank you, ur video is very nice and helpful.
I was able to fix my adapter issue, but now my touchpad isn't working. I'm not sure what went wrong...
Sir app kaha se hai
is this laptop good for gaming
can u fix mine 😭😩....
