Dell XPS M1730 Power Jack Problem
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
We have been seeing a few M1730 gaming laptops come in with broken power jacks. As of October 2009, the jacks are not available anywhere. This is one of the very few jacks we can not get our hands on. Of course, we have a repair solution. We’re not extremely happy with it but we can make the machine work again. We use a similar, smaller jack, and convert the PA19 AC adapter to fit the new, smaller jack. We aren’t excited about it as the smaller jack will be easy to break. The adapter is very large and if the weight of the adapter pulls on the jack too many times it will break. Most of our power jack repairs leave the jack better than new. But not this one. The good news is we can rescue the $2,000 machines using our standard jack repair service. To get the correct jack we must buy another motherboard from Dell and they are $700 - $900 depending on which rep answers the phone. At this time our jack repairs are $149.

I was in search of a good laptop repair company then I found InnovativeIT, a very reputed laptop repair company. It is really trustworthy and recommended.

It is funny how some companies think that spamming our blog will get them customers or better search engine results. This may have worked several years ago but doesn't any more. We tried to figure out who these "innovative" people are and they're all the way over in London. Anyone using 7yr old techniques and advertising on the wrong continent is probably NOT who you want working on your computer. LOL!
