No power, no charge.

I've got an Acer Aspire V5 122p

I've recently had an issue where the charge wasn't connecting properly it needed moving and twisting to sit in a good position to charge.

It then after a while stopped completely, so I did a few checks to make sure, unplugged the battery, reset the battery and so on, all whilst plugging the charger in to make sure it wasn't charging, so I would assume it was the charge port, I went and bought a new charger port unplugged the old one, ect ect, I did a last battery reset and plugged in my charger. No power. I've done it all again, and still no power. I'm confused and baffled. Unplugging the battery would assume it would power on if it was a battery fail, but still no power.

I've tried a new charger several to be exact and none of them are giving it any power...

Can anyone give me an idea as to what the issue may be, and how to fix it.

(PS I've left it on charge a few hours but still no power)

Thanks in advance!

Hi @jaydea91, since you mentioned that battery works, there is a possibility the DC jack has broken / failed.

One option is to order a replacement from ebay or aliexpress and try swapping, and hopes it works.

Hi @salmonjapan ,

I was under the impression that the OP replaced the charge port.

"I went and bought a new charger port unplugged the old one, ect ect,....."

Hi @jaydea91 ,

With the charger connected, use a Voltmeter to check if there is voltage present at the board connector end of the DC-In jack.

If voltage is there then the problem is further into the board.

Check if the connector socket is OK to the motherboard.
