I believe I have an Acer laptop with a bad DC power receptacle. The
power adapter is providing the proper voltage(19Vdc); however, when I
connect to the laptop circuit board (which I have removed from the
laptop), the solder points of the receptacle to the circuit board show
no volts.
There are no apparent dicrepancies seen on the receptacle. The power
receptacle's negative spring contact appears to be in working order
though there is evidence of wear. All solder connections look good, no
burning, cracks, or bad welds.
The plan is to remove and replace the receptacle. However I don't have
the part number nor a manufacturer name the would suit a good
replacement. Does anyone know of a company that would sell or provide
a new receptacle? I will use 63/37 solder to resolder the new
receptacle. |

Search Ebay with the model number. I have regulary found exact
replacements for not much money compared with the laptop jack
replacement "specialist" web sites.

Disconnect one lead of the receptacle and ohm it out. I doubt that it is
shorted. Something else is probably shorted on the motherboard.
Something is shorted to get zero volts from the PS.
