A Recent Job in Redding, CT
I recently worked on an ASUS laptop for a client in Redding whose laptop had stopped charging reliably — the charger only worked at certain angles and the connection felt loose. After opening the machine, the fault traced back to the power jack and DC-in board area rather than the battery or charger. It’s a repair worth catching early: what starts as a temperamental connection can progress to complete power failure, random shutdowns, and connector damage if left alone.
For ASUS laptops specifically, the DC-in board is usually a separate component from the motherboard, which makes this repair more practical and cost-effective than it sounds. The machine left working perfectly.

Signs Your Laptop’s Charging Port Needs Repair
This is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed laptop issues — people assume it’s the battery or the charger when it’s actually the port:
- The laptop only charges when the cord is held at a specific angle
- The charging connector feels loose in the port
- Charging cuts in and out unpredictably
- The battery percentage drops even when plugged in
- The laptop loses power when the cable shifts even slightly
If any of these sound familiar, bring it in for a free diagnosis before the problem gets worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you come to Redding, or do I need to go to you?
Both options are available. Drop-off at 58 Ridgedale Rd, Bethel is the most efficient for hardware repairs. Remote support works for software issues without any travel. On-site visits to Redding are available at $75/hr — good for Wi-Fi issues, home network setup, or desktop repair where moving the machine isn’t practical.
My laptop stopped charging — should I replace the charger first?
Try a known-good charger first if you can, but if the problem persists — especially if the port feels loose or charging only works at certain angles — the issue is likely the charging port or DC-in board rather than the charger itself. That’s a repairable problem, not a reason to buy a new laptop. Bring it in for a free diagnosis.
