Acer Aspire 5 DC Jack Repair in Hyderabad

Acer Aspire 5 won’t charge unless the cable is held at a specific angle? That’s the DC jack — either solder cracks on the barrel (older barrel-jack models) or a worn USB-C port (newer USB-C PD models). For barrel-jack Acer Aspire 5 variants we resolder the jack at component level. For USB-C variants we replace the entire USB-C daughter board or the soldered port on the motherboard. Doorstep diagnosis included — we’ll tell you which it is before quoting.

The Acer Aspire 5 uses a 65 W barrel-jack (5.5×1.7 mm) input. The plastic barrel socket is through-hole soldered onto the motherboard. Over time, the cable’s weight and repeated insertion angle cause micro-cracks in the PCB pad solder joints — the first symptom is intermittent charging (works when cable is held at a specific angle). Left unrepaired for weeks, pad lift occurs and the trace needs jumper-wire repair instead of simple re-soldering.

We test the jack with a multimeter before opening the chassis to confirm the fault. Re-soldering done with flux and fresh solder; pad lift repaired with micro-gauge jumper wire if needed. Cable stress test (20 insertion/removal cycles) confirms no intermittency. Acer Quick Access shows battery charging correctly. 30-day warranty; ₹149 doorstep.
