Replacing dc jack on Gateway NV52

I am in Korea and impatient so I am allowing a Korean repair store to attempt to replace my broken dc jack(99% sure it is the dc jack. I dropped the laptop. it worked fine. i tried to charge it, the computer didn't know it was being charged. the dc jack has a rattle. the ac adapter works fine. multimeter confirmed)  The question is: can you just put any jack into any computer? the plan is to replace the jack AND the adapter. I know the jack is near the motherboard. i have no idea what a motherboard is but it's gotta be important. Also, running power through something not designed for my laptop sounds like it might cause it to explode. My korean friends say this repair is possible I want to believe them but I can wait for a new dc jack if it means my laptop will definetely work properly and not explode. Help? if the answer is wait for the right part can anyone tell me where to get one shipped internationally. Thanks.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
You can fix or wire the DC in jack on the base cover of the laptop
Normally DC jack has a plastic molding which holds it with the base cover
If that molding is broken and DC in jack is gone inside . you can use some adhesive to rejoin the molding
But ensure the adhesive does not fall on any electronic parts of main board
Please refer HMM user guide  for assembling and dis-assembling of the notebook

  • Gateway NV52 Sound Issues

    I recently received a Gateway NV52 as a Christmas present, and so far I'm loving it. But I'm experiencing an issue which is when I plug in my headphones into the jack, there is a faint buzzing noise when I play music. It doesn't matter if I'm streaming it online or playing it directly from my desktop, it just continues to make that noise.
    I tried using the same exact headphones on a different computer and it didn't have that noise, so I'm sure it's not the headphone itself. I also do not experience this problem when playing the music without the headphones. Do you think it may just be a driver issue or would it be a problem with the computer itself. Thank you in advance.

    Hey, did you ever get your sound problem fixed???
    I have exactly the same problem, and have been unable to find a solution. I have updated the sound driver, and done alot of testing, but nothing works. Not only is it an issue with headphones, however same problem occurs when using USB headset... I am starting to think it is a harware issue.
    regular headset usb headset all work flawless on other computers.....
    Anyone??????

  • GATEWAY NV52

    Well I am at the end of my rope.  In the past month I have purchased 3 notebook computers with weird issues from BestBuy and have returned 2 of them so far. I am about to return the third one shortly. I had an HP first and its optical drive wouldn't read cds/dvds. I then returned it and purchased the gateway nv52 which is an awesome notebook for the price, but within a day or so it began shutting itself down going to to black screen with HDD activity. I then returned that one and waited 2 weeks to pick up another one since they were out of stock and the price had gone back up. So Oct 11th I go into the store and pick up my 2nd Gateway nv52 and this time I pay an additional $70 to have it "optimized" by the Geek Squad. Then..within 2 days..same issue..black screen with no warning or reason. I called Gateway for tech support and that was a HORRIBLE experience, possibly the least helpful tech support I've ever dealt with. I then called in to the Geek Squad support. They had me turn off my Trend Micro antivirus and see if that stopped it shutting down, it lasted one day. Then the issue started again.
    Is this a known issue with this model notebook? How can it be possibel for me to get two of them that don't work properly?  How do I get this rectified?
    This is the most annoying thing I've ever had to deal with and I am about to return this notebook to BestBuy and pick up one from HHGreg.

    If I recall correctly, Gateway offers a BIOS update for the nv52 as well that is supposed to help with both of your problems. You can always check that out. I know that our location has been doing both the BIOS update and the driver updates for free for people with the nv52 during the free functionality check, and on the spot for people bringing them in with those issues.
    Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. I took a bit of a vacation from these forums when Win7 came out. I got tired of answering phone calls at work asking how to upgrade, where to get the disc, how much we charge etc. I came here and saw the same questions and took a couple weeks off.
    Hopefully the BIOS update and driver updates will help

  • Replacment headphone jack

    Where can i get a replacment headphone jack and will it come with the little ribbon cable

    There are online stores like this one
    http://www.rapidrepair.com/shop/photo-ipod-parts.html
    You can also buy a broken iPod on eBay and swap the part. Note: The headphone jack parts on the 4th gen color display and 4th gen b/w display ipods (the socket that connects the two halves of the case) are different. So you need to get one off a 4th gen color display model (aka iPod photo), if that's the type you have.
    Most iPods are broken because of the hard drive, not the headphone jack.

  • Anyone got an idea how much replacing headphone jack costs at Apple Store

    My 1st Gen - (actually a replacement for a dodgy one) is out of warranty and the headphone jack is playing up. Anyone got a guide price for what they would charge me at Apple Store - Im not happy this had happened, but I know the realities of warranties. I own a Dyson!

    Luvlabs is correct; Apple charges a flat price for out-of-warranty repair (actually it will be a replacement, probably with a refurbished unit) regardless of the problem with the iPod. Apple's repair pricing can be found here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    There are independent service providers that may be able to offer a lower price for the repair. I can't make any recommendations, but if you search the web for "ipod repair" you should find a number of options, and someone else here may be able to recommend a service provider.
    Regards.

  • Replacing DC Jack on T60

    I need to replace the DC Jack on my T60 and have figured out how to remove the keyboard bezel and disconnect the jack from the systemboard without any issues.  However, I am unsure of how to remove/unseat the yellow plug itself.  Is there some sort of trick to it (screws, holding bracket, etc) or do I just need to apply some force in a specific direction to unseat it so I can install my new jack?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Without knowing exactly what broke, it's hard to say, but I'd say 95%+ chance that if the connector is broken in any way, it will need to be replaced, and the replacement will need to be soldered on.  For most people (namely those that don't have soldering experience already) that means the system is basically toast.
    Finding the exact correct connector will be difficult, and Dell will charge you $$$$$ to fix it for you.

  • Replacing Headphone Jack

    Okay so apparently my headphone jack isn't working. The volume is very low, while the right speaker is even lower.
    I see that eBay sells the headphone jacks. But my question is how do I replace it?
    Are there any tutorials out there?
    Thanks.

    Does anyone know if the headphone jack easily comes off once opened? Because *the tutorial never directly states how to take off the jack.*

  • How Fix or Replace Headphone Jack?

    T400
    How can I fix or replace the headphone jack?
    I looked though the Thinkpad T400 and R400 Hardware Maintenance Manual;  but it doesn't address this.
    When I fully insert a stereo plug from an AC powered external stereo speaker pair into the jack, there is only a barely audible sound from the speakers.     If I partially remove the plug so it's inserted about 2/3 of the way, to just where the tip meets some resistance,  I get normal full volume sound.
    With a small, battery powered, mono external speaker, (the iHome iHM60),  witch utilizes a stereo plug to combine the two channels into one: inserting the plug either the whole way or partially results only in the barely audible sound unless I catch the plug just perfect, but I can't hold it there.      To get full volume, I have to remove the plug partially, and plug in the USB battery charger cable.      I think it's picking up the ground through the USB connection.

    @TomBrooklyn,
    SBO, MOBO, Board, Planar, MB, etc etc ...
    Swapping a board out would depend on your experience with opening a laptop and properly putting it back together (with all the screws back in their actual place of course) ... I've seen engineer swapping a board out and back with everything in place in less than 15 minutes ...
    I tried changing a T61p hinge once, it took me 6 hours ...

    I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

  • Replaced audio jack, now the battery is dead?

    Hello. Last week, I replaced the audio jack, because sound was just coming out of the left channel. Then, however, it wouldn't charge, even though it said it was. When I put my iPod in my docking station (iHome) or connect it to my computer, it just says "Please wait. Battery very low." (http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1435/HT14356.gif) Maybe I did something wrong when I replaced the audio jack? I don't know, but help, please!

    After you've tried everything Apple recommends, as I did, that is restart, restore, other cables/adapter/wall sockets and connecting to the usb hub of your computer, it is safe to assume that is either the battery or the connector itself.
    If you are within the warranty, take it to an apple store or retailer, they will fix it...outside the warranty for a fee.
    Personally, I changed the battery myself (not too hard - you can find a 'how to' video on you tube) The battery was €14. For the connector I went to a mobile phone repair shop that had the part and knowhow to replace it. Looked a bit too fiddly for my liking!
    It took half an hour and cost me € 70, part and labour
    The phone is as new.

  • Replace dc jack on g71-340us laptop

    Hi,
    It IS actually a JAR file... But I assume in your machine it
    might be displaying with a ZIP liked icon.. Just go to the command
    prompt and check its extention if you want to make sure...
    After that, replace your old "smack.jar" which is in

    do..

  • Replacing processor in my Gateway P-6860 FX

    Now my question is, as silly as it may seem, is since I have a dual-core processor and two hardware devices show up under my device manager, do i have to replace two processors?  Second question, what is the difference between a slow processor and a fast one? What exactly does it speed up?
    Thanks!
    Solved!

    Thanks, the reason why I am asking is because im buying Creative suite 4 production premium and I was worried it wouldn't accept my processor speed.
    There are very few applications that actually have a true minimum CPU speed requirement.  Almost any app (there are some exceptions, such as realtime audio/video compression) that do have minimum requirements.  Non-realtime apps will work fine on a slower CPU, it's just that on a slower CPU the user experience will be less than optimal.
    You will see very little difference in performance for photo/video editing between a 1.8 GHz CPU and a 2.0 GHz CPU.  Almost surely not worth the cost of the new CPU.
    If you're doing high definition video production I'd strongly reccommend investing in a quad core desktop - you can build a pretty good one for not much more than the price of a fast laptop CPU.
    If you're just doing photo work your current CPU will be absolutely fine.

  • Yoga 13: power never get on after replacing power jack charging port

    My YOGA 13 ultrabook had been dropped to hard floor during charging and the charging port has been damaged since it was plugged. So I just ordered the charge port from ebay($19.99) and replaced it. Of course, I have followed the instruction to disassemble it. Now I am so frustrated.. My laptop never get power on after reassemble all the parts. Is it possible that my motherboard got a significant damage when I do soldering charging port? My battery was completely out before fixing it. Better get professional to diagnosis?

    I'm facing the exact same problem with my Yoga 13. Stuck at 10%, can't charge since everytime I plug my Yoga, nothing happens... great :/
    What should I do to charge my laptop?

  • The music sound from my i pod is muffled through my headphone.. does the headphone jack need replacing

    Iv had my ipod for few years.. now the sound through the headphone is muffled i brought new ones but the sound is still the same.. does the headphne jack need changing and how much will it cost ?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
