DC jack, DC in, DC connector, DC adapter, DC input jack, DC power plug, DC power jack, power jack, power plug, plug adapter.

The DC jack is one of the hundreds components a laptop come with. It is an electrical connection to feed the laptop with direct current (DC) and charge the battery. In other words, it is used to plug in the charger, feed the lapop with power and charge the battery. Very often they come loose due to normal use or they break by accidents (dropping the laptop when it was plugged in or pulling the cable connected to it and bending or breaking the inside of the DC jack.). Fortunately they can be repaired and/or replaced. DC power jack are usually soldered to the motherboard and the replacement or repair requires the complete dismantling of the laptop, desoldering the broken dc jack and soldering the new one. (See picture for more details) .

Newer laptops come with a DC jack separated from the motherboard, just plugged-in to it and are somehow easier to fix(Soldering is not required). Laptops with this type of DC jack are commonly misdiagnosed with a bad DC jack when is reality is a poor (weak) design on the bottom case that breaks and it doesn't hold the dc jack in place.
