My brother has a dell inspiron that needs a new power jack welded in.
I used to go to a place called AQSTECH, but the dude won’t return calls or emails for some reason.
They actually did micro-welding not solder, it was stronger.
He used to get about 100-150 for the service if I recall correctly.
Can someone recommend a RELIABLE service to get one of these things fixed?
I need it done like yesterday.
THANKS.

not personally but a friend of mine got a laptop off eBay and the keyboard was in rough shape. He got the keyboard replaced for $30, I saw the after work and he did a really nice job. You’re lucky if you can get a replacement keyboard by itself for $30.

Yeah but replacing a keyboard takes 5 minutes most of the time. Connecting a new jack internally will be a lot more labor.
GL, if it was my computer I’d do it but myself but the risk is to great to try on someone else’s.

Looks like a fixed repair cost of $110.

I could do it if you wanted to make a trip out to Rochester lol. I would just solder it though. Usually i charge $75 plus tax for something like that.

^^yep, i thought i did a couple for someone on here before. id do it for 50$ plus the cost of the jack…(5$?, and thats assuming the entire jack is fucked)
but, i (we) need to know if the entire jack ripped out/broke off or if its just ‘loose’…because if its ripped out ive seen them destroy the traces before too. still not impossible to fix but it would cost a lil more for trace repair.

They did it today, and they also fixed the screen hinge for no extra charge.
$110 including a new jack.
I think its a good price for a shop rate, not having a friend or whatever do it.

AFAIK it’s one guy who does repairs on pretty much all laptops, of all problems. Not sure if he sells parts, I don’t think so though.

Works fine, they did it in a couple days. I have no idea if they sell parts, it is just a guy out of a house basically.
If you really want the parts you can buy a jack on ebay for basically 10 bucks.
