BDHG940 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 my laptop is screwed up and I have to keep plugging in the power cord and adjusting the cable in order for it to stay on. If I barely bump the computer, power is lossed and it will turn off pretty quick. Its a compaq persario 3000p I think, Ill check the shop tomorrow. If anyone can fix this type of problem, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Sounds like 2 things A. Dead battery B. The pin that connects your charger to the mobo is getting loose/about to break off. It happened to one of our old laptops and bestbuy said the whole motherboard needed to be replaced and that we should just get a new one.

IEATLT1 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It can be reattached to the motherboard I've fixed 2 or 3 myself... Just need a soldering iron with a fine tip The best size of solder for electronics is 22swg (swg = standard wire gauge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IEATLT1 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 What kind of laptop is it? you have to pretty much tear them down and put them back together some are easier than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 If you fix it, do you think I should order in one of those dc power jacks above in that ebay auction link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotart Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 If you fix it, do you think I should order in one of those dc power jacks above in that ebay auction link? It depends on how bad the break is. I suggest taking it apart for confirmation, then ordering if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know whats broke if I dont know what im looking at From your description of the problem, I'd say that pin is broken. I have fixed them without buying a new one, but it would be best to just replace it. I could do repair it, but you would need to buy the correct part and then give me at least a couple of weeks to get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrb00st Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 i had the same problem, and instead of tearing it apart and fixing the plug. it was my power cord. the tip was worn down, and a new one fixed it right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
