I have a Dell Latitude D510 and have a new power cord cause it burnt up the the battery started to stop charging unless you wiggled the cord at the power jack and then one day is quit so did some research and found that the power jacks go bad but i have no idea how to take it apart and dont wanna break it thanks
You can access service manuals for all Dell laptops at Laptop Manuals Hub Find your manual and follow the motherboard removal instructions. Here’s how to replace DC jack.
Replacing the DC jack on a laptop can easy or hard, easy when it does not need to be soldered in, hard when it has to be soldered. In your case a new DC jack needs to be soldered so the best thing to do is let an expert fix it. My laptop repair business based in Manchester would charge you £55 to replace a DC Jack which is a very competitive price, so use that price when phoning round for quotes, good luck
