One thing that tends to happen with Acer laptop models including the Travelmate and Aspire series is the center pin in the DC power jack tends to break out of the jack itself. These laptops use a 1.65mm center pin DC power connector (jack), which are a bit more fragile and susceptible to damage than the larger 2.5mm DC jacks. Many times the pin will break and get stuck inside the plug of the AC power adapter.
If this has happened to your Acer Aspire or Travelmate laptop, we want to calm your fears. This type of breakage is no worse than the average broken DC power jack we see for our $99 laptop DC power jack repair service. We replace the entire jack when a notebook computer comes in for this repair, and since the center pin is part of the jack itself the laptop is good as new after the DC jack replacement. The center pin itself usually comes out of the adapter plug with no problem at all, and we don't charge extra to fix the plug.

Acer Aspire and Travelmate power jack repair
Acer utilizes a very fragile DC jack in most of their laptop models. This power jack has a 1.65mm center pin, which is much smaller in diameter than the usual 2.5mm pin in most DC power connectors. So, with the day-to-day wiggling of the power plug of the AC adapter, these DC jacks break or come loose from the motherboard very easily.
We have an increasing number of customers ask us if we can upgrade the jack in these Acer laptops to a larger jack. The answer is yes. We can solder a 2.5mm DC power jack in place of the smaller jack in these notebooks. Obviously a 2.5mm pin is not going to break as easily as a 1.65mm pin. The only drawback is if we replace your DC jack with a different jack, your AC power adapter will not fit without replacing the plug with the correct size power plug.
Whether you decide to have the jack replaced with the standard 1.65mm Acer power jack or the larger 2.5mm DC jack, we have a solution for you. Check out our $99 DC power jack repair service for more details.
