HP G72-259WM power jack popped out?

Ok, so i've had my laptop for a year and a half now, and the entire side of the computer pops open, and the power jack pops out and doesnt work half the time unless i get the angle just right. (as seen here)
Also it tends to overheat even if its bottom and sides are against nothing at all. Is there anything I can do to fix these problems?

The computer is going to need serviced. With the charging jack being exposed this could cause serious issues. I would go ahead and call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

MSI GT680 DC Power Jack burnt out

soooo basically i was havin problem with the laptop struggling to recognize when the charger was plugged in and i had to adjust it into position and make sure it didnt move for it to charge...then a few weeks back i smelt something burning and smoke came out of the fan area (which meant the dc jack had burnt out)...so i ordered a new dc power jack from USA and opened the laptop up and can i say its really poor arrangement of components by MSI cos i had to take out nearly everything to get access to the jack which was stuck to the motherboard, it should really have its own wiring and seperate area if it can be burnt like this (like my dads acer does, his dc jack burnt out too but it was completely separate wiring for it so it took him 15mins to sort it out)
aaanyways i did eventually get to the dc jack and tried to desolder it from the motherboard and it took me ages, maybe because of the solder used on the jack or maybe cos the soldering iron i had wasnt hot enough, either way i finally got it off and soldered the new jack into place and put everything back together and crossed my fingers before plugging the charger back in but there was a little spark so i took it out immediately, the circuit must have shorted somewhere or some of the components must have burnt out intially
now i've got a dilemma in what to do...i live in the UK so parts are hard to come by and i dont think im under warranty cos i've had the laptop for more then 2 years so any suggestion how i can proceed
P.S another guy had a similar problem which can be seen in the post below but no solution was posted at the end of it

thanks in advance

I'll be perfectly honest with you.
Replace the motherboard.
Why? More than likely a FEW components have probably been damaged, most likely that you can't see. There might even be shorted traces inside the board at this point, or missing traces. So if you try to fix it, more than likely it will go up in smoke again, and possibly even worse this time.
any idea where i can get a motherboard for MSI GT680 (preferably in uk somewhere)

I have the HP G72-259WM Notebook PC , Product Number: wq668ua which has worked out great for me.

I have the HP G72-259WM Notebook PC , Product Number: wq668ua running WIndows 7 (64bit) With 4GB of RAM and 1695MB video Ram. I just purchased a game (Star Wars: The Old Republic) and my laptop meets all the requirement stated on game accept one that I did not understand see until after the purchase. The Graphic card needs to run Shader 3.0 or greater. My Laptop is now out of warrenty and would like to upgrade my hardware. Can I either purchase a motherboard or graphics card in order to run this game instead of buying a whole new system? Note: the game states that there are a few different cards that work with this game and wonder if there is something equal to, or a little better that match there capibility that I can use? They are the ATI/AMD Radeon HD 4850, or NVIDA GeForceGTX 260 /512MB graphic cards.
I would like to use the all the same hardware with a new motherboard... unless the graphic card is seperate and if so can you tell me what I need to get and where? Thanks

Audio jack - plug pops out (physically)

Hi
Macbook pro with a tenuous audio jack - headphones or other plugs pop out about an 1/16 of an inch, disconnecting. I can push it back in, and sometimes it will stay, but its not dependable.
Is this just a weak spot of this machine or is this a broken jack that needs replacing? Can I fix it somehow?
Thanks in advance!

If this is happening with several different plugs, the port has a problem. Take the machine in for service under your warranty, assuming it's still in effect.

Hp mini 1035nr dc power jack issue

HP Mini 1035NR DC power jack is no longer making a connection to the power tip. Voltage is consistent on the tip itself. Did not help that my wife has been using this for some time by wiggling the power plug into the DC jack on the side of the netbook and it would "eventually" make a connection. It had been steadily deteriorating over the recent months, and now I can't get a connection at all, the battery has been replaced months ago and it will hold a charge for 2-3 hours easily. But now I'm certain it's the DC power jack within the base of the unit. The power light immediately next to the DC jack no longer lights, that is what we would use as an indicator to know we "jiggled" the tip enough to make a connection.
So my question is has anyone here popped open the unit to replace the power jack? If I pop it open will I have the ability to maybe access the connectors inside the jack to attempt bending them back into place? Must the whole jack be replaced? Is it soldered in place or possibly just a wire connector that I can easily plug/unplug? I did try looking into the jack from the outside with a strong lens and could see the metal tab for the negative voltage (external part of the power tip) connection within the DC jack but could not seem to bend it upwards when I delicately tried with a thin tweezer tip.
Don't want to risk popping this open if when I get inside it's not easily replaced. I'm OK plugging/unplugging, but taking a soldering iron to the board is pushing the envelope. Or has anyone found a slightly fatter power tip that works in this unit from some other power brick that might get a better connection?

It will need to be soldered if you do decide to replace it yourself. My suggestion would be to take it to a computer repair shop or contact HP support to see how much their out-of-warranty repair would be. The number if you are inside the US is 1-800-474-6836.

My headphones are not clicking into my ipod touch 4g 64gb port, and are causing it to pop out at the smallest movement, how can i fix it?

basically it's been a problem for a while now my sennheiser headphones are not clicking in correctly and are popping out at every movement causing it to pause my music, (very annoying) but it works fine if i hold it in, but can't do this all the time.I dom't know what the problem is or how i can fix.
any help would be greatly recieved
regards
PD

If it happens with another set of headphones then the headphone jack in the iPod needs replacing. Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

Whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled

Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.

Here is what worked for me:
I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA. To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button. Problem solved.

I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either). Neither of these options worked.

DC Power Jack part number Satellite M105-S3041

Greetings,
My Toshiba laptop (M105-S3041) seems to be having a lot of problems with the power.
My OEM Power adapter broke and i bought a replacement (non OEM) from ebay.
That has been working fine till about a month ago I started having problems charging my laptop.
I believe the power adapter is working fine (as the light on the adapter lights up) and I may be having a problem with my power jack.
I have been searching for the model / part number for the DC Power jack without any luck. Would someone please help me out with the correct model/part number, where to buy and the approximate price for it?
Secondly, does anyone know if the power jack is plug 'n' play or does it need to be soldered into the mother board?
I have been pretty good at dis-assembling the laptop and putting it back together (except for one damn screw that does not agree to come off, I will probably saw that guy off).
Thank
Ajay

Hi
Im not quite sure but I think the DC-in socket is soldered to motherboard.
In such case it would be tricky procedure in order to replace this.
But it seems that you are not 100% sure that this part malfunctions.
It could be also the AC adaptor issue as you said, you bought an not original part.
Its just a suggestion but I would try to replace the AC adaptor with an Toshiba recommended one before trying to disassemble the notebook and to replace the DC-in socket.
PS: All parts can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP!

My t61 - no power after changing the power jack

Hello guys,
So the long story short , the power jack on my t61 wasn't working.I bought the new one , changed it today , I am pluging it -no power at all.I dont think its the charger as up until the end it was working , its here to say i havent started the laptop for about 3 months .It was a pain to start it before , i had to twist the power jack in every possible was just to make it power on.So my concern right now is whether the motherboard is dead or not.
Please anything you have like a clue will be more that appritiated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There isn't much required to get the power light to come on. It is possible you shorted something out. IT is possible something isn't plugged in all the way. Even if the CPU isn't in or the memory isn't seated, you would get the power light. Is it possible that all the twisting before broke the wire between the ac adapter and the machine? Can you get another power supply to try?

I have this pop out asking for certificate of proof of ID from my Lap Top and without it I am unable to access the airline website for verification of reward redemption??

I have this pop out and asking for my certificate of proof of ID and without it I cannot access an airline website to complete redemption points.
How do I switch this off??

Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

HP G72-259WM No pwer light and no chargiang when the charger is plugged in.

The charger has an output voltage of 11 -12 VDC. When plugged in to charger port, no power /charging LED is lit.
The charger does not charge the battery. Is there any intelligence in the power port or wiring between the port and the Motherboard, Please advise. Thanks in advance
Doc

Hi DocPaul,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP G72-259WM Notebook and AC adapter issues.
Here are the specs for your AC adapter.
65 W External Diameter: 7.4MM
Output Voltage(s): 18.5 V Internal Diameter: 5.0MM
90W
DC Voltage:19V
Rated DC Current:4.74A
AC Input Rating:100-240V ~ 1.5A 50/60 Hz
Manuals located here
If the AC adapter you are using is not listed in either of these specs it is not a Adapter for HP and that could be why it is not working.
If they are the correct adapter make sure you have it directly connect to a wall outlet. Surge protectors and power strips might cause an issue.Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as Personal Media Drives, USB drives, printers, and faxes. Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

ThinkPad W530 Power Jack Replacement

Hi, I'm trying to replace the power jack in my W530 and I've run into a little problem-- I can't actually get the power jack out of the housing. I've disassembled the laptop to the point where I can replace it, but I can't actually get the jack itself out, it seems to be glued in to the extreme. Does snyone have any tips on how to get the power jack out? I already have the replacement part ready to go. Thanks in advance.

Alright, laptop is working! However, it says the battery isn't charging-- either in the system tray or the LED indicators on the outside. However, as long as it's plugged in, I can use my laptop and the battery won't decrease. Any ideas for what the problem might be? EDIT: Never mind, it died on me again. A little frustrating.

Lenovo G550 Power Jack Broken

Over the last week my G550's power jack has become less and less reliable and eventually stopped charging the laptop at all.
I've seen several discussions about this being a problem but no actual instructions or pictures on how to get access to the motherboard.
Does anyone know anything else about this problem?
Thanks in advance.

To get to the power jack, you are removing most every screw on the case. Remove the panel above keyboard that houses power button, then there are more screws beneath it. Then you can get to hinges, unscrew them, find another screw at each hinge after hinge is out of the way. Also unfasten the keyboard, but don't rip it out, to find a couple more screws underneath the keyboard. And finally you can take the two halves of the case apart well enough and get in to disconnect the power jack. The DVD drive will slide out, no screws attaching it. The wiring for the power jack goes to a location by the memory where it attaches to the motherboard. I disconnected the cable by the memory and pulled it through easily.
Should take a week for the part to arrive to me. Crossing fingers that the whole trouble is this and nothing else. Found other thread here that talks about securing the jack better: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G550-power-connector-is-this-a-weak-point/td-...
Clearly there is a fault in the design of this laptop model, I think, when many people are having the same fatal issue.
Also, now that I think of it: if you wanted to test if this was the problem for you laptop without the trouble of disassembling everything, you could easily disconnect the power jack by removing the memory cover and unplugging it there; then plug in a replacement power jack (which you'd need to order) and test. If all works, you could then go through the bother of taking everything apart (or finding someone to do it).

Broken G72-B60US AC jack fix

I have a G72-B6OUS notebook with an ac jack that has broken an anchor pin internally. It still functions but is getting looser with each charging cycle. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried a 90 degree connector to swing the ac input away from the side of the notebook. As I see it, one fatal flaw the G72 has is the placement of the ac jack, every time it's tugged on the jack gets a little looser. Eventually the jack shorts out and burns the motherboard.

Hi
Please try to update the Bios & Chipset driver on the unit also trythe step given below incase both does not resolve your issue please check the warranty status and call HP Technical support to replace the System Board.
