Power jack repair on the Dell Inspiron 1721
The Dell Inspiron 1721 uses a round barrel charging socket soldered to the motherboard. We test your charger first, then repair the socket, its cable or the charging circuit on the motherboard, whichever has failed.
The charging socket is soldered straight to the motherboard on laptops of this age, so a loose or broken socket needs proper board-level work, not just a new cable.
What we do
We open the laptop, remove the damaged socket and fit a new one, repairing any lifted pads on the board. Where the socket is on a separate cable or small board, we replace that part instead.
We test with your own charger before handing the laptop back.
How long it takes. Usually done the same day for common models.
Warranty
This Dell Inspiron 1721 repair is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
