    I have a Toshiba Satellite a205-s5000 that I replaced the power jack in. They sent me the wrong plug, mine was hard wired into the board so I cut and spliced the new plug to the wires coming out of the board and still no power. It has 2 red wires and 2 black wires, would it make a difference of which red wire and which black wire I connect to the red and black ones coming out of the board? Thank You for any help.

    Shouldn't make a difference, but you can test them with a multimeter to make sure the 2 red wires are both the same and also the black.

    Did you connect them correctly to the motherboard?
