A Lenovo laptop repair that recently came through our Boston computer repair shop had a “no power to laptop” issue as it would not take a charge from the power cable. After first ruling out that the power cable and A/C Adapter (these are the two cables that run from a laptop to the electrical outlet) are not faulty, we
Laptop jack repair on a Lenovo laptop
then inspected the connection from the A/C adapter cable to the actual laptop and noticed a slightly loose connection with the DC jack (the internal component that you plug the A/C Adapter power cable into on a laptop). The suspected resolution was a DC jack repair where we would re-solder the jack onto the motherboard or to purchase a new laptop jack cord, depending on what type of DC jack the laptop had beneath its cover and the damage to the actual jack and possibly even to the motherboard. However, if re-soldering or buying a DJ jack cord did not fix the issue, then there may have been a short circuit on the motherboard itself which means the motherboard would have to be replaced. Therefore, the laptop was taken in for a diagnostic.
After carefully taking apart the Lenovo and inspecting the DJ jack cord that it encapsulated, a multi-meter was used to measure the voltages at each end to ensure proper connection, which indeed revealed a grounded wire as the issue. Fortunately, instead of purchasing a new DJ jack cord, a re-soldering of the cord onto the plug fixed the issue. After notifying the customer, this task was completed and the laptop was powering on. Computer repair problem resolved within 24 hours – nice!!

There are dozens of computer repair companies out there. A simple Google search for “Boston computer repair” brings up 979,000 pages of results. If you’ve never needed computer repair services, how can you tell which company will efficiently fix your computer? And which company can you trust to not go through you private pictures and documents?
Start off by asking friends or family if they have used a computer repair services company in your area. Ask them if the problem was fixed. Then ask them how long it took, and ask how much they paid. If the answers you receive aren’t to your liking, go back to the Internet.
Just like restaurants and bars, service companies often rely on reviews posted by their customers on various websites. If you find a company that you think may be a good fit, Google them to see what others have said. Why?
