    Hello everyBody

    I have an Asus F6VE , My problem started since the laptop down on floor at the corner of power jack

    so the power jack who connected on the board is broken

    since i didnt find any repair store who repair asus brand or sell asus comonent i tried repair myself ( my skill isnt so huge ) so am just a noob in electronics stuffs
    here what i did

    i removed the broken jack from the board , and i connect 2 wires to charger connector
    if i insert the battery the led of charger will be off after few seconds

    at all case the laptop wont start

    i hear a little click when connect wires on area power of motherbaord
    i think is normal

    I tested the charger with voltmeter it give 22 volt

    i know is labeled 19 volt , but also an acer labled 19v give around 22 volt

    i hope somebody can provide me some helps , some tricks ..etc to repair it

    and tnx in advance

    btw if i can see clear foto of board at corner where powerjack connected

    Best Wishes James

    You've probably broken something on the board when you pulled the jack, or your solder job is not right.

    Either way, you are most likely looking at a bricked paperweight right now :(.

    Please post your location so we can suggest which Asus global service center you might be able to contact for repair.

    tnx for you answer

    well right now am in a non home country doing a job in a company, and i cant find any dealer or service centers of any laptop brand

    thats why i took the risk and try repair myself

    and the bad thing is all that company work is inside my laptop hdd , and even cant find a store who sell Hdd external Slot to connect my laptop hdd on another pc

    so i guess you are right about something broken near the jack, and the problem is there are 2 layers on the jack area , and if i check both of them give a bip wich means they are connected togather ( surface and under it)

    i hope if you take a clear foto of jack slot in both face, maybe i will able to figure out something

    tnx again for all sort of helps

    My best Wishes
