Question:

i have a laptop, and the socket where the power cable goes, stopped working.?

How can i fix it and how much would it cost?

Answer:

This is a common problem with the technology. Our shop charges 150.00 to resolder the jack on. You have to completely remove the motherboard from the case inorder to properly fix the jack. This problem will repeat with time so extra care should be taken then using AC Power.
is it the power cable or the adapter ? is it's the power cable then it cheap. if it is the power adapter then it will cost u nearly 100$ Hope it helps u ..... !
cost if u take it some where is about $100-$200 and it can be fixed
Well... It depends. First things first, never move your laptop with the ac plug connected to the laptop. This is why the plug stopped working. The connection is very fragile, it cannot withstand very much abuse. To get it fixed, you would have to bring it to one of the local computer repair shops to have a new AC jack soldered to the board. You will probably have a hard time finding a larger repair shop that will do this for you. You would be looking at around $120-180 just in labor. The jack will probably run around $10.
its possible (unless you're sure) that its not the socket. It could be the surge adapter(the plug itself). possible it can be the outlet itself, have you checked a different outlet? Anyway, fortunately, that's not too big of a problem, especially for a laptop. To get it fixed, if its still under warranty, you have to call the manufacturer and ask for technical support. They will most likely send you a box to put the computer in, have you send it to them(prepaid), and they will send it back repaired, IF ITS UNDER WARRENTY. If its not under warranty, you will have to go to a computer technician. usually a place like Best Buy has fast and cheap computer repairs, or you may find a local computer repair shop that suits your needs better. Or you can even send it back to the manufacturer to fix it, be warned however, they usually overcharge on expired warranty repairs. As far as the cost, it can range from fifty to a couple hundred dollars, depending on the problem. Hope i helped
