Power jack repair on the Lenovo ThinkPad T490
The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 uses a barrel charger or USB-C, depending on the version. We test your charger first, then repair the socket, its cable or the charging circuit on the motherboard, whichever has failed.
Recent ThinkPads charge over USB-C; worn ports and charging-circuit faults are repaired on the board.
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.
