Hi,
I recently broke the power jack in my ASUS N71jv laptop because I dropped it.
A couple of weeks ago, I changed the power jack myself, however, a few (major) problems have since occurred:
At first it was fine, but a bit later the power indicator has been constantly switching on/off for a couple of minutes - and the cord has to sit in a certain way in order for it to work.
It has now gotten a lot worse, it's difficult to get it to charge at all now, and on top of that, the laptop seems to be getting really hot, especially near the fans and at the dc jack (the pin on the power adapter gets burning hot). However, the laptop also gets a lot hotter itself than it used to. The pin on the charging adapter also gets really hot after just a few minutes of the laptop being turned on (same sort of goes for the fans).
Unfortunately I can't really check how it works without it being plugged in because the battery only lasts for 10 mins (but it doesn't warn me when it's empty, the laptop just turns off)
Could it be that the dc jack which I bought uses a different current/voltage than my charging adapter/laptop (I have searched the web, but can't seem to find an answer to whether the dc jack has a specific setting to voltage/current) - or could it be that I haven't soldered the dc jack on well enough, or another problem entirely?
I really hope someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it
