Dell Laptop DC Jack Repair

PC Virus Doctors are able to repair Dell laptop dc jacks within about three days. The reason for the delay is that the exact dc jack must be ordered as no dc jacks are available within Dallas.

These dc jack are soldered on the board and are not easy to remove. Currently we are using a third party to remove the dc jacks because of the high silver content that is hard to melt much less remove.

PC Virus Doctors can solder the new units with professional results, however, removing the high-silver-content with the original Dell dc jack remains a challenge that will be overcome.

Current charges for these laptop dc jack repairs are $150. Be aware of these charges if the repair is needed. PC Virus Doctors strive to bring the most reasonable costs for repair and are working on a cost-reductive solution.
