Power jack repair on the Alienware m17 R4
The Alienware m17 R4 uses a high-wattage barrel or rectangular charger socket. We test your charger first, then repair the socket, its cable or the charging circuit on the motherboard, whichever has failed.
The high-wattage charger socket takes a lot of strain and is a common repair.
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.

This Alienware m17 R4 repair is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
