power jack problems with Compaq Laptop Presario 1200
Hello,
I have a 1200 Presario which I bought in 2001. It was running fine up until a few months ago. Then the computer would shut off if the power jack cord which went into the computer moved slightly (or if I moved the computer on the desk). I could here slight clicking/sparkling noise come from the area where the two met. I opened up the computer and had computer friend resoder the jack. Afterwards, the problem was fixed. It has been 2 weeks since then. Now this morning I put the plug back into the computer and the power light on the laptop is not even coming on nor is the computer turning on. I don't think I shook the plug and it was not rough used since the repair. What should I do? Should I try getting it even more resodered? I don't want to get rid of the computer b/c I've already put about $30-40 already into it for other small repairs. |

It can be that the power supply has failed. If you have a DVM, you can read
its output, to see if it is working. If it is not the supply, then it can be something on the mother board, where the power enters to it. You will have to work from there. The mother board can be difficult to troubleshoot. Normally they are not serviced at the component level, unless the problem is simple to service. -- JANA _____ "globetravel" wrote in message news:afca5$426c0ffd$455da0d2$26231@allthenewsgroup s.com...
