HP G60-230US laptop, -power connector inside laptop appears to be lose

HP G60-230US laptop
I started to notice that the power connection to my laptop was a little lose; a little later I needed to play a little with the connection so that power would not disconnect; now it appears that something got completely lose inside the connector and I don't get any power into my laptop.  How can I get to this connector and replace it or tighten it?  I already tried opening the cover but did not see an easy way to get to it.  Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Your power jack is not on the system board.
Here is an Ebay link for your jack.

  • Macbook Pro 2 has had 2 different batteries and fried both would it have to do with the power input inside laptop

    <Edited by Host>

    Based on the age of the machine it may have to do with a known series of Apple notebooks that had bad batteries.  Good luck finding an Apple Store that will honor the old exchange/repair program for them. http://www.macsales.com/ offers replacement batteries that will work as long as the case inside isn't too warped.

  • Lenovo V570 Laptop Power Button does not work. Did I screw it up?

    Hi, my Lenovo V570 keyboard recently stopped working so I took the keyboard off to reposition the cable. In the process I disconnected another cable on the motherboard (shown in the pictures below). I also cant find the black plastic piece that was holding it down.
    Now not only does the keyboard not work but the power button does nothing. After research though Ifound out this laptop is notorius for having the power button go bad.
    When I plug in the AC adapter I do see the battery light go on and it charges so I dont think the motherboard is bad. I
    have tried every trick in the book as far as getting static out of the laptop power button (holding down power button for
    certain times). I looked at the mainteneance manual for this laptop and could not figure out what the disconnected cable does. I have tried reconnecting the cable without the plastic piece but that did not work.
    Is the disconnected cable responsible for this or should I order a new power button board with cable?

  • HP Laptop Power Cord Safety Recall and Replacemen​t

    Some power cords for HP and Compaq and mini notebook computers sold from September 2010 through June 2012 may be part of voluntary recall and replacement program launched on August 26, 2014.
    The impacted power cords have the potential to overheat, posing a fire, and burn hazard.
    To see if your cord may be affected, look for a “LS-15” marking molded into the connector that plugs into the AC adapter.   
    If you see a LS-15 marking please go to http://www.hp.com/support/PowerCordReplacement
    Please note that there are two parts needed to charge your laptop.
    1)      The first part is the power cord that plugs into the wall.
    Figure 1
    2)      The second part is the adapter.
    Figure 2
    HP is ONLY recalling the power cord used with HP and Compaq notebooks and mini notebooks and accessories such as docking stations. (See Figure 1)
    To qualify your power cord and request and replacement, go here.
    Since power cords for laptops are compatible, you can use another power cord with your AC adapter until the replacement one arrives.
    I work for HP, supporting the HP Experts who volunteer their time and technical knowledge to help others.

    Does HP really expect us to individually validate every single laptop in our fleet to see if the cord that originally shipped with the machine is included in the recall? That's putting your customers through a lot of hoops to resolve an issue that could result in a safety hazard. 
    Also, and as you yourselves point out in the bulletin, these cords are completely interchangable, and there's no guarantee that the cord in use on the machine is the one that shipped with it. 
    Please provide an easier method to determine if these cords are affected by the recall. Thanks.

  • Toshiba A75 Laptop power connection problem

    I am aware Toshiba has a problem with the power connector on older laptops. 
    My question is this:  What is the approximate cost to have the Geek Squad repair the connector? 
    And - Does this problem exist on the newer Toshiba laptops?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the forums Randysim!
    To be honest, this isn't something that I could even approximate.  It will most likely need to be sent out to a Geek Squad® Service Center.  They will diagnose the problem and provide you with an estimate.  At that time you can accept or deny the repair.  It is important to note that you will be responsible for shipping even if you deny the repair.  This is assuming you are out of warranty.

  • New Apple laptops, power cords and batteries

    Eventually, my parents' white MacBook is going to wear out and need to be replaced. I am keeping an eye on the discount deals for refurbished laptops on the Apple Store. I may also have to do some business traveling in the future, necessitating that I get a laptop as well for on-the-road computing.
    A few necessary questions:
    1: If they order a refurb MacBook Air, where do you go to find an extra AC plug-in cord?
    2: Are there any cigarette-lighter-adaptor plug-in kits available for the current generation of Apple laptops, so that a laptop could be operated/battery topped off while in a vehicle or on an airplane?
    3: What about connecting to AC power while traveling outside the US? If an Apple laptop user goes to, say, Europe (Germany, UK, France, Denmark, etc.) does he/she have to carry a special connection kit along to plug-into AC wall power?
    4: What are the realistic longevity/operational lifespan expectations for Apple's current laptop batteries? How many years should these batteries last, and how expensive are they to have Apple replace?
    Thanks in advance!

    A few necessary questions:
    1: If they order a refurb MacBook Air, where do you go to find an extra AC plug-in cord?
    Apple's Online Store or a local Apple retailer.
    2: Are there any cigarette-lighter-adaptor plug-in kits available for the current generation of Apple laptops, so that a laptop could be operated/battery topped off while in a vehicle or on an airplane?
    Yes there are such animals for cars. I don't know about airplanes.
    3: What about connecting to AC power while traveling outside the US? If an Apple laptop user goes to, say, Europe (Germany, UK, France, Denmark, etc.) does he/she have to carry a special connection kit along to plug-into AC wall power?
    The power unit auto-switches from 110 to 220 v systems. All one needs is a wall outlet plug adaptor. They are available in Apple's World Travel Kit as well as from most AAA travel stores.
    4: What are the realistic longevity/operational lifespan expectations for Apple's current laptop batteries? How many years should these batteries last, and how expensive are they to have Apple replace?
    Impossible to say since the answer depend upon usage. All we know is the battery's lifespan is supposedly around 1000 full charge cycles.

    Since the last update of Firefox I’ve a real problem. While Firefox is running or in use my Laptop total freezes. I was working a Word document and my laptop stops cold. The resource tool stops and nothing works. I have to power off my laptop to get around this. This has occurs numerous time and started after the last update to Firefox. I did install Skpe recently. My configuration is as follows:

I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
    so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

  • I cant download anything including Updates, when i try to download a black box appears saying that i have to power off the laptop using the button, and it freezes, so i have no option but to power off. Please HELP

    I cant download anything including Updates, when i try to download a black box appears saying in 4 different languages that i have to power off the laptop using the button, and it freezes, so i have no option but to power off. Please HELP

    Well, at least it's good that there are no hardware issues - that's a relief and one problem area that you can check off.
    OK, so let's summarize so I can get a clear picture of what's going on. If you try to download something from your web browser, what happens? What if you try to download a small utility such as "EasyFind" from the App Store? Or is the problem specifically linked to downloading updates?
    I'm just trying to get a feel for if anything really means anything?
    Usually what you download from, say, a website, goes into your Downloads folder. It's the default folder for things like that. Apps from the App Store are downloaded to your Applications folder. And software updates are generally, I believe, held in a temporary folder so that they can be installed (in many cases) when you're asked to restart.
    It could be something as simple as repairing permissions on your start-up disk. You're running Snow Leopard, right? (That's what your profile says.) Try opening Disk Utility from your Utilities folder, selecting your boot disk and try verifying permissions. If you come up with some errors, try repairing permissions. After that, go ahead and verify your boot disk - you won't be able to repair it at this point, but at least you can see if you have any errors.
    Let me know about the anything and get back to me after you've verified and repaired permissions and verified your boot drive.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Daqcard 6036e affected by laptop power supply?

    Hello NI types;
    I have a problem that seems pretty bizarre to me, so I thought I would share it with you to see if anyone has any suggestions.
    I have a brand new Daqcard-6036E (pcmcia card), with shielded cable and the CB-68LPR terminal block, and I'm trying to use it with a Sony Vaio laptop (PCG-955A) with Windows XP professional. Labview 7, full installation with all the recommended drivers from the Labview 7 cdroms (didn't install anything from the 6036E cdrom, since I figured the stuff on the LV7 disc was probably more current anyway).
    The card is recognized by MAX, Labview, etc. I can bring up the test panels no problem. I measure in differential mode, -10v to 10v range, I'm using the proper terminal pairs for the differential mode (aich0 + aich8 for diff1, etc). Problem is, regardless of what I put in for an input (I've used a little dc voltage supply, and bridging the terminals with a wire to enforce 0V) I get garbage not even resembling the proper input. It does random fluctuations all the way up to the input limits (-10/10 V). I measure with a meter and everything looks great at the terminals. I don't have any other terminal block connections (no connections from AIGND's, AO, timers, etc).
    Here's the weirdness: the setup works just perfect... as long as I'm running the laptop off the battery and not using the power supply plugged into the wall. This was really, really annoying to try and find (pulling out the power supply to the laptop was the last thing I tried after fussing with it for a couple of hours). Battery only: reads correct voltages, nice and stable. Laptop power supply: reads completely incorrect fluctuating voltages.
    I checked that I was trying to read differential mode (in MAX, and my labview stuff I've written), and I have no idea what to try next. I've used NI stuff for years (LV2,4,5, Nubus cards on macs, pci cards on pcs and macs) but I've never had an opportunity to use a pcmcia card before. I've never seen this behaviour on any other setup I've worked on.
    I have a few suspicions: laptop power brick (which plugs in on the same side of the laptop as the pcmcia cage) isn't really nice 19.6 V dc @ 3A like the back of the brick says (have not verified this), maybe bizarre ground loop problems (I get this problem even with no external sources hooked to the CB-68LPR, just the differential inputs connected together on the channel). Maybe the power supply brick makes rf interference that annoys the card (I tried moving the brick farther away with no difference). Maybe Sony just doesn't like me.
    As a dumb test, I ran the laptop's power brick plugged into a 120v inverter running off a 12V car battery (ie - 12Vdc -> 120Vac -> 19.6 V dc -> laptop) and that made no difference (still didn't wdfdfork). My other thought is to try and run the laptop directly off a regulated dc supply fed by a 24V battery setup, but that'll take me a little while to assemble to test.
    Any thoughts on this? Sadly I do not have a second laptop to try this all in to see if that rectifies things. Has anyone else encountered this?
    I hope I haven't left out a salient detail. If I forgot to mention something relevant please ask.
    Best regards,
    Steven Cogswell

    Hello Ben and others;
    Indeed, you hit the nail on the head, except it was the other way around. I hadn't taken notice of it before, but this laptop (which isn't mine) doesn't even have a 3-prong plug on the adapter in the first place, only 2-prong (the cord/brick have no facility for a 3rd either, and it's the original sony adapter). I ran a connection from the AIGND (AIGND/AOGND/DGND on this card are all the same point according to the manual) to the 120v ground (3rd prong) and sure enough, everything cleans up and voltages are correct again.
    And a small note for those taking notes, although I said the laptop is a "PCG-955A" (that's what's on the bottom), it's actually a Vaio FX120 (written in tiny print on the screen bezel).
    Thanks for all you
    r help,
    Steve

  • Laptop power supply "Smart Pin" ?

    Hi All,
    I'm an electronic hobbyist and wanted to use a surplus HP laptop power supply as a power source
    for my experiments.  It is a large 'brick' rated at 18.5VDC @ 6.5AMPS, I think (sorry I'm at
    work).  When  I cut off the DC plug I was surprised to find a COAX type cable with 2 shields and
    a center conductor.  After a little surfing I 'assumed' that the third wire is the center
    conductor, or the smart pin.  Cannot seem to find how the "smart pin" works.  Anyone know of a
    link as to how this works so I can be "smart" about using this power supply?  All I'm looking
    for is some nice, regulated DC.
    Buy the way, I own 3 HP laptops and administer hundreds of HP servers at work.  Wouldn't buy
    anything else!
    Thanks...

    Hello friend, ignore those websites just cut your hp charger, u will see 3 wires which are the first layer, second and third. Cut off the third layer to prevent shunting cause it almost damage my laptop. Connect your positive to the second layer and negative to the first layer and that solves the problem. Can also be used on dell laptop chargers too. Tested and confirmed. Don't forget to cut of the third layer first. Kudos
