Charging Port Problems We Fix
If it's not charging properly, we can probably sort it.
Loose Connection
Charger falls out easily, or you have to hold it at an angle to make it charge. The connector inside is worn or the solder joints are cracked. We resolder or replace it.
Not Charging At All
Plugged in but no charging light, no response. Could be the port, the charger, or the motherboard power circuit. We test each one to find the cause.
Intermittent Charging
Charges for a bit, then stops. Or charges slowly even with the right charger. Often a dirty or partially broken port. We clean it first, replace if needed.
Broken Connector
Something snapped off inside the port? The plastic pin in the middle broke? Don't try to fish it out yourself — you can short the motherboard. Bring it in and we'll sort it safely.
Charging Port Types We Repair
Different laptops use different connectors — we handle them all.
