Charging port repair

Having power problems? Laptop DC Jack and charging port repair available in Nantwich

One of the most common failures in laptop computers is a broken connector, jack or plug socket.

This is because joins between sockets and the motherboard itself tend to get put under a lot of stress, with connectors being repeatedly plugged and unplugged. Faults here are more common on lower-end models (due to savings made on construction), but it can happen to any laptop computer.

Once the sockets are loose, they can cause intermittent problems with your laptop that are sometimes wrongly blamed on peripherals or chargers themselves.

The good news is that there’s no need to throw your computer out though, because our technicians at Jay’s Computer Services can often fix such broken sockets for a fraction of the cost of a replacement computer.

We keep a wide range of replacement sockets and other repair parts on-hand, ready to go. Unlike some other repair services, this means you’re less likely to be left waiting while the necessary repair parts come through the post!

Below is a list of socket repair services

Intermittent Laptop Power- Is It Really a “Battery” Problem?

A common mistake people make is assuming that intermittent power (where the computer sometimes shows “battery” even when the power supply is connected) is due to a faulty power supply. In fact, this is often due to a faulty power socket.

If mains power only seems to come on when you hold the plug at a particular angle or have it pushed right in, then the fault is probably with the power socket on the laptop, not the mains power adaptor (charger) itself.

Of course, sometimes batteries do become faulty, or simply wear out. Either way, we recommend that you discuss it with our staff before going ahead with a purchase- you can telephone or email us in advance if it’s more convenient for you!

And remember, we operate a no charge policy when inspecting your computer!

I gave my laptop in for repair 3 months ago. Have not been able to get it back. Jay keeps promising to return it. Probably have to go down the legal route to retrieve it.

Unfortunately not able to leave a positive review. Dropped off an item for inspection in January of 2026. Communication and progress updates were virtually non-existent. I was initially told item was repaired only to be then told the wrong part had been ordered. This dragged on and on and when I went to collect the item after months of frustration I was informed the item could not be repaired. A below par service which on personal experience I sadly cannot recommend.
