Google Dell battery recall.. You might get one for free.. Check that first.. If it dont qualify for a new free battery you will need to buy one. Its very common.
All the best,

I would use solder wick and clean all the connections. After you know you have it very clean use some flux and then tin everything nice.
Im sure its a connection issue.
Let me know how it works.

Hi Pete,
I tried to replace my DC Jack on a Dell Inspirion 8600, and when I pieced the laptop together, I hear a beep at boot up. Something about the AC adapter and it’s not going to be able to function right. Any idea what’s went wrong? The part when you mentioned the center piece to be solder, I didn’t see any terminal to be solder. Any ideas? Thanks.
Ekk that could be a board issue.. I would open it up and see if you can put a volt meter on it.. If you see your 16-19 volts and after the click it hits 0 you know its a board issue..
Let me know how that goes,
-Pete
Thanks soo much.. I will have more to come.
All the best,
-Pete
nice! Glad you enjoyed it.. Let me know how that goes.
-Pete
Very common on that model.. next one I get in the shop; I will do the video.
All the best,
-Pete
Sure sounds like a DC Jack.. Center pin on that model.
-Pete
It could be a DC Jack too.. What type of laptop?
All the best,
-Pete

hey man just did this on my sisters dell inspiron 8100, everything looked good afterwards…plugged the ac adapter in and theres a faint “click”…the light on the ac adapter goes out when i plug into the dc jack on the laptop, any suggestions? appreciate the help….
Great video. no gimmicky ” speed ups” etc. keep up the good work.
Great stuff man, keep up the quality work. Maybe we independent contractors can put geek squad out of business!!
Interesting.. I would download the lastest bios flash and re-flash it.

Thanks so much for the kind words.
All the best,
-Pete
lol @ least IBM took care of it..
Take care,

Homedepot has some Husky drivers that hold up pretty well. I have a couple that I favor that I picked up from an electronic surplus store.. Its mil-spec stuff.. You need something that has a great tip on it. You will also need one thats small and a little blunt.
Hope that helps.
on and just the light of the power button light up and keeps on but the computer doesnt boot or get in to windows i dont know what its the problem know can u give me some advise to fix this mather and thanks 4 ur help
good video, but i got a litle problem i did the same as u do and after replace the dc jack on my inspiron 6000 i put everything back together and the dc jack its working fine but my laptop does’nt get into bios or windows you yes can see when u push the power button that the computer is turn in
very cool and very useful
you’re the pro sir
my friend is good at destroying those DC jacks too, luckily warranty was still active and IBM got it fixed in 4 days
What screw driver set would you recommend?
I have a few laptops I want to get into clean out.
But the Screw drivers I have are a bit worthless…
Thanks in advance.
