Computer: Samsung R480
Work Order: No power, DC jack short circuit. Jack repair or replacement.
Warning: At 2:25 in this Laptop DC Jack Repair video where keyboard/cover is being removed. We chose to not remove the keyboard but unplug the cables from underneath. Take extra care when prying upper cover not to pull on it as it can break the touchpad and keyboard ribbon cables.
- This video only shows opening / disassembly of laptop. Part 2 coming soon.
- At 4:40 mark in video. Please take extra care with connector on the bottom left side of motherboard. It is very snug yet fragile. Don’t rush.
- This computer came with several screws missing, video will be slightly different from your computer due to that.
- Battery and other power sources should always be disconnected to avoid a shock to the technician and damage to components.
- Don’t use a power gun as shown in the video. Power gun will damage your computer and requires a lot of control. Even lowest level of torque will drive screw right through.
