Apparently the power adapter jack connection is worn. when the adapter is plugged into the outlet, once connected to unit it would not charge unless pressure was applied to the side 9-12v jack of the constantly. eventually it wore out and as not possible to hold enough pressure to connect for the unit to charge. Should i seek a tech to possiblly open unit adjust the jack. the jack is loose and suspect it needs to be adjusted to make a good connection to charge.

It should have a small 120V to DC wall adapter charger with a DC wire / connector jack that plugs into the back of the power pack. Plug the wall adapter into 120V outlet and plug the DC connector jack into the back of the Power Pack. Leave on charge until the unit indicates it is charged fully (several Hours if it was fully discharged).

To use without computer plug ethernet cord into magicjack otherend into router plug phone in to magicjack plus plug magic jack plus int power adapter plug power adapter into power outlet should work but does not no calls in or out in reverseorder and has to be online with internet conection .

Most common cause is loss of power due to poor connection. These are usually turned on by plugging in the inout cable and a worn plug from the guitar may be intermittent. The sleeve of the inserted plug usually turns on the battery or the adapter power to the unit. Adapter plugs are notorious for poor connections. Another common problem is broken solder at the external jacks into these as cords get yanked and stepped on resulting in force on the jacks breaking the solder. A momentary power loss will trigger the unit off.

You are right, most of the situations like this end up that the charging connector fixed / soldered to the motherboard get damaged because of shaking the connector when ever we connect and disconnect it .

On the left side, towards the rear is a DC jack. Plug the power cord in there. It should automatically start operating on AC power, and charge the battery.

1. First remove the Battery, clean the Battery contacts with the pencil eraser and insert the Battery in the Computer.

2. Connect the AC Adapter (Battery charger) securely to the Computer and the Power outlet.

3. If the issue persists, try connecting the AC Adapter to different Power outlet.

4. Make sure that both the connecting points (DC IN port on the Computer and the Power outlet plug) are securely connected and not loose.

5. If the issue persists, try with different AC Adapter.


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AC adapter jack on the back of this notebook (and many others) is susceptible to damage. Extra care must be observed whenever moving / sliding or lift up and setting the notebook down while the AC adapter plug is connected to the jack. Any force on the plug - be it left, right up or down can cause the jack's soldered connections to break free from the motherboard inside the case. Once this happens, the internal battery will no longer receive a charge and when depleted, the notebook will not start up. A way to check if this condition is present is to gently wiggle the plug while connected to the jack. Pay attention to any AC Power indicator light on the notebook. If it flickers, the connection is failing or failed.

This common failure is repairable, but it is not for the faint of heart. The disassembly of the notebook is required. Patience and jeweler's screw drivers (and sometimes other specialty tools and instruction guides) may be required just to open the case. Once opened, a thorough inspection of the jack's solder connections and circuit traces must be performed to identify problem points. This may require further disassembly of components. Inspect both sides of the motherboard for damage. It may be possible to simply "touch up" the broken connections with a clean, tinned 20 or 30 watt pencil soldering iron. A complete replacement of the jack is a better way to go though. The jacks are under $10 on eBay but this work is not for a DIYer that isn't willing to have the notebook reduced to the status of "paper weight". There are those on eBay that offer to perform the entire repair for about $100 when last checked, and is probably a better bet than DIY first time soldering application. Of course, the notebook manufacturer has the ultimate repair shop - but is probably ultimate in cost, too.

You have either a faulty connector plug on the power adapter which connects into the laptop or the loose power input socket on the laptop is faulty. This is because you need to press the connector upwards to make electrical contact.
Test the connectot plug on the power adapter with a multi-meter, wriggle the connector to see if your get the voltage to fluctuate, if it does not then the connector is OK anf the fault is in the laptop power input socket.
If the fault is in the power adapter plug or the laptop's power input socket, this can be repaired, a techo would have no trouble in repairing these faults.

FirewallAvat: Your problem is likely because your battery is dead and the adapter isn't charging it. This may be due to broken connections in the cable from the adapter. Flexing often causes the wire inside to break near the plug. Generic replacement adapters are available, or the wire can be cut back a bit and a suitable replacement soldered on. The cause might also be broken solder connections on the main board at the power jack, This is common from stress due to the power plug flexing. It is usually possible to open the computer and resolder these connections, although sometimes there's too much damage from arcing before the connection fails entirely.

DocBrown: Does the power LED on your computer come on when you connect the adapter? If not, try the adapter in another outlet anyway. Sometimes one outlet in a strip can go bad. Check the output of the adapter with a voltmeter. If it's bad, replace it or try repairing it as noted above. If the adapter is good but the light isn't on, you might have the bad power jack as well.
