No More Wiggling the Cable to Charge

It is incredibly frustrating when your laptop only charges at a certain angle or cuts out with the slightest movement. A faulty power jack can stop your work in its tracks and leave you with a dead device. Sergey provides professional charging port repairs in our Clayfield workshop to ensure your laptop powers up reliably every time you plug it in.

Component-Level Repairs, Not Just Part Swaps

A broken port does not always require an expensive motherboard replacement. Sergey personally assesses the damage to determine if a component level repair is possible, which can save you hundreds of dollars.

With over 10 years of experience, he specializes in both soldered DC jacks and modern USB-C ports. We perform all repairs in-house at our Clayfield workshop, offering a 1 to 3 day turnaround to get your power issues resolved quickly.

Signs of a Faulty Charging Port

  • Loose or “Wobbly” Connection
  • Charging cuts in and out
  • No Power at All
  • Burnt smell or visible sparks
  • Random shutdowns can sometimes relate to overheating rather than charging faults.

If your issue isn’t charging port-related, see our full range of laptop repair services.

How Charging Port Repair Works

Sergey performs a detailed inspection of the power input housing and the motherboard connections. He disassembles the device to check for cracked solder joints or physical pin damage. By reinforcing the connection or installing a new DC jack, he ensures stable power flow under full load before returning the laptop.

Repair time and cost depend on the laptop model and the type of charging port. We confirm this before starting any work.

MacBook Charging Port Repair

MacBooks can develop charging issues due to worn USB-C or MagSafe ports, internal cable strain, or power-related faults. We diagnose MacBook charging problems carefully to determine whether a port repair or another repair is required.

When a Charging Port Repair May Not Fix the Issue

  • Battery degradation or failure
  • Internal power or logic board faults
  • Liquid damage affecting power circuits
  • If the laptop won’t power on at all, the issue may extend beyond charging. Visit our laptop not starting repair page.

We’ll explain what we find before recommending any repair.
