replaced dc/jack now laptop dont boot up

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
ok heres the situation
i just replaced a dc jack that was solder to motherboard on a acer 1690 laptop , i put part of it it all back together to try the power see if it was working the fan came on power lights came on i thought great it works, the fan went off after about 3-4 seconds but the power light and other lights stopped on i thought the fan will keep going when i add the monitor, hdd ,and all the rest of the laptop. so i put it all back together and tried it again , fan came on lights came on that was it ? no monitor no hdd did not even boot into first part of screen where you can get into bios then i checked the fan and turned it on and off 3-4 times and notice the fan was doing the same again coming on for 3-4 seconds and knocking off ,i don't think i missed anything putting it back and the lights stop on and the laptop turns off after i press power button for 4 seconds as normally. its just that it don't want to boot and the fan stops and does not even get the the acer screen ,when i was soldering , the solder was a bit shabby ,now could it be a short somewhere i not good at soldering i know when i soldered on one part of the dc jack did not fit into the hole right when i solder it but it did get contact with the board or could it be something else i have re tried everything a few times and still the same when i turn it back on.

any help would be appreciated

Try re-soldering the jack again. Take the board and the jack to an electronic shop and ask them to do it for you if you are not sure about it.

You must first clean out the area, removing the old soldering first before putting the jack pins into place and solder them. No short cut here.

thanks m8 i will try that the reason i did it myself due to high cost at the repair shop for a 5 dollar piece, still might cost 50+ to ask a shop to solder it on

I usually remove the old soldering by heating them and use a gadget that sucks the loose soldering into it (like a suction pump), clean the holes with some flux - put some soldering tin on the pins, place the jack into place and soldering on top - never fail.
