Dell 14z-N411Z AC DC Power Jack Repair

The Dell 14Z-N411Z laptops are common ones we work on and do fall under the $69 parts and labor rate with $20 return shipping if needed for dc jack repair.

The N411z common symptoms of a bad power plug are a loose internal connection when you plug in the power cord.  Sometimes you can hold the tip of the cord in just right way to get it power on and or charge the battery.  It may also be going back and forth from AC to battery power and the screen can flicker because of this.  Another common symptom is the circular barrel missing from the dc jack and copper pins are all that’s left.

The 14Z notebook needs to be completely taken apart to the motherboard level to access the broken socket.  Its is a cable style dc jack that plugs directly into the main board (see picture below).
