Mainly for VAIO's, from what I've researched, but it works with ANY laptop. This is a how to, and a wayyy better quality video than the one I followed, but I still give credit to the guy, if it wasn't for his guidance, I literally would not be typing this lol

Im holding my charging cord in the sweet spot so I can watch this lol...
That sweet spot is so precious when it comes to this point on how to fix it lol Glad this helped you out, and thanks for the thumbs up Aubrey! :)
lol
yo me too
😂😂😂
Yoo you the fucking guy!!!! Just tried it worked straight away! You any good with cars? 😂😂😂😂
my sims owe their lives to you. I DIDNT THINK I'D BE ABLE TO PLAY SIMS EVER AGAIN AND THIS SAVED MY LIFE💚💚
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Literally watching this video because I really miss playing with my sims! 😭😂😂
THIS IS WHY IM TRYING TO FIX MINE 😂😂
Same here!
I HAD THA SAMMMEE SITUATION
I like this guys attitude.
Thank you for the thumbs up Tre! And yes, attitude helps a lot when fixing stuff haha
7 yrs later how ya doin
it doesn't work if you don't eat the cereal
Uh huh!
Of course not. What would anyone expect?
Simply no
Of coarse it wouldn't it's the first step
lol
Cant believe im vibing with a video from 2013
Totally worked, thanks for the awesome tip. I was going to purchase a new port (about $25.00) and try and install it myself. Everything online says taking the laptop apart and installing the new port is a pain in the butt and can take a long time, if you know what you are doing. After watching multiple videos on how to do it and becoming discouraged that this would be way too time consuming, I scrolled a little further and came across this video. Totally worked. Took less than 5 minutes. It took me more time to find the tweezers than to make the repair.
They really ought to switch the ac plug to a charger like a cellphone has.
yeah, the ac connections are absolute shit. Even better, adopt apple's method of connecting a charger via magnets.
+Alkalite the magnet idea is actually really smart.
It really is. Bewildering that no other companies have followed suit.
They can't apple holds the patent.
gb342002 They can use a micro sub or regular mini sub power cord like hard drives use.
lol I watched this and 10 seconds in I was thinking I was going to have to thumbs this down... HOWEVER this actually worked FAR better than expected! I have an Alienware m15x and the charger has been loose for so long and with a dead battery I NEEDED the charger to STAY plugged in. And in case anyone else has an Alienware as well, the fix is the same only the "chip" he said to lift is the little metal ribbons and you do it the same way just don't pull too hard or it can pop out. ALSO there are 8 of these. 4 Around the edge and 4 around the plastic peg in the center just pull these outward with a sewing needle or something else with a sturdy and thin tip and VOILA! Thank you Coach Peter greatly appreciated!
so do i when mine started and now am so confuse because i dont know how to follow all this simple intruction to lift the metal up because i dont want to make the case worse again like when i followed an instruction on the youtube on how to watch youtube offline because after following the intructuction that when my laptop began to have problem to load th page even though it pick up the wifi name but refuse to load when i try to search for any thing in the bar search
and i have just gone to repair my laptop WiFi connection problem in which they told me they had to change the WiFi drive then when i ask why they said the WiFi card is been burnt due to excessive use of electricity because i always leave to on charge when am using it the battery has being dead well it cost £45 where it was at last repaired yesterday and if you must know its now i know that not all the computer repairing shop knows all about computer some only know basic way on how to repair them why because i have taken my laptop to several repairing shops that at the end they just said to me ho sorry we cant find the fault and another said hey we think you should buy another laptop as the laptop is now packed up and when i went to curries i was asked to pay £80 in order to get new harddrive installed into my laptop because i was told it will be needing a new harddrive allthough after the wifi problem was repaird and i told them about the charging port problem i was told i need to pay them another £45 in which i had to leav the shop with out repairing it so please tell me how much can that part be please thanks
+tomtom sweet it does sound like they may just be trying to get money from you. I'm sorry I don't know the cost of the part for you as all laptops vary. I know that to replace my charger port I would have to replace the entire motherboard which would cost me a couple hundred dollars.
ok thanks for your info any
I just straightened my pins and they worked! I wished I saw this video before I bought a 2nd charger thinking that was the problem,
I bought a whole ass battery
This is awesome, I've been having trouble because my sister broke the port and I needed to use the laptop for school but it would always turn off and mess up my things because it wouldn't want to charge. I had to tape the charger into the port many different times then it would move randomly and power off, this helped me get rid of that. Thank you!!!! I can finally use my computer again with no trouble (I used a needle pin and it worked perfectly) :) 10/10
Let me know how it turns out. And yes, the stress before I fixed mine was off the charts, we're talking a lot of money down the drain for such a small little piece of a laptop :(
Yes, two: 1 Use a bit of force to get under the chip, but be careful not to stab to deep once the tool you use goes through OR 2 Find a tool that is thinner or smaller to go in between the chip and plastic. I had to use quite a bit of force to wedge it out. Thanks for the thumbs up! :)
Yeah, I wasn't serious at all in tone, but so happy it worked! :D Thank you for the thumbs up!
i know this is 4 years old at this point, but great vid man!
I know this comment is 4 years old at this point but great comment Man
You are a hero. Nothing is better than being told to go get a bowl of cereal to enjoy while your life problems are washed away. I have been struggling with this charger for years. It feels wierd to gbe able to plug in my computer like a normal human being.
bruh this video is 2012, but it works in 2021, thats awesome bruh
OMG! seriously??? after I don't know how many burnt up/overheated power cords and even having gone as far as ordering a new little power socjet, as I looked for the video to tell me again how to replace the socket, I ran across this....GENIOUS! worked like a magical charm! Thank you so much. I now own a replacement power port in the event that I ever do need to replace it but...for now don't need to remove solder or resold etc!! Thanks so much. Btw, I did this to a Samsung R480 (don't know why they discontinued this little work horse cuz it has travelled half the world in flight mileage and the power problem is the ONLY problem it has ever given!) Thanks again....still amazed at how simple it was and guess what, you are correct, a repair shop would have charged at least a few hundred even though there was just this to it.
oh, forgot to add....my little metal ground piece was so far in there I could not lift with tweezers...I just used the tip of a safety pin first lifted a little on one side then lifted a little on the other side of the little metal ground piece and....there you have it...worked great. was wondering if rather than glue gun which is very messy, how about a 5 second fix pen (or would that make it a pain if I later have to replace the port for real). If anyone tries the 5 second adhesive pen, update us please.
Wow. People. Anyone growing up in a public US school from 1990's + deserves to be taught the basic physics/electronic principles covered here. I only know it because of physics in college. Currently this info is only offered to (I can only speak for TX) more advanced students. I know history is important, but these practical concepts need to be taught in 8th grade! It's not rocket science. I really wish there were programs where public school kids could take classes and dissect outdated/broken computers. Learn how to solder (welding metal at a ballpoint pen size), and to learn common sense of how to do it without frying the entire device. Kudos to anyone watching this and trying to learn for yourself!
Omg!!! U LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE! I had a song Vaio for 5 years and it wouldn't charge. I left it in the corner of my room for 3 years and I digged it up today to see what's happening. And I saw this video and you saved my PC!!! Thumbs up!!!
One of the best how to videos...first step get a bowl of Cereal. keep up the good work.
Yup, I have to be very clear with the steps lol Thanks for the thumbs up Richie! :D
My battery and ac adapter both are working but not charging. I guess the problem seems to be inside! Do you have any way of fixing it?
Just wanted to thank you!!! Totally set to go to geek squad & somehow realized that our wire was loose, did a quick search on google, saw this video & IT WORKED!!! Thanks so much!!!
I'm gonna try this. I had my vaio for several years and a couple days ago my port stopped holding the charger. Thought I was gonna have to take it to some store. Glad I ran across this vid
this very simple ofu just saved me a lot of money and i dont know how to thank u enough but i hope u get everything u want in life tysm !!!!
You ROCK!!!! Seriously haven't been able to get my VAIO running in literally 8 yrs!!! Now I just need to figure out how to get it out of the VAIO screen and get in there to get all my pics and music......
Not everyone is sooooo computer savvy. Thanks for the vote of confidence Iamandi. I am not going to let your negativity rain on my parade. Here's my middle finger, sit and spin d-bag.
Iamandi Radu You're a pretentious little shit, aren't you? Compensating for something? I bet you're REAL fun at parties, huh?
I love how he's experimenting with us
Omg you just saved me!!! Stuck with access laptop during covid and now I finally can breath. Than you so much!
I've got this laptop. The fix totally works! i have done it a few times now and it's got me an extra 18 months out of my 5yo laptop which otherwise still performs really well. I just didn't glue gun it as i still occasionally want the thing to be portable.. and that's when i need to do the fix again. i can go about 6 months between fixes though.. well happy. thank you for the video!
Push the bottom chip a little lower. It should be a snug fit, if you put the chip too far out, you won't be able to fit your charger in the port. Hope this helps! :)
No problem!! :D I would love for you to share this with anyone having problems with their charging port. This laptop cost me waayyyyy too much and for it to just die because of this, I would have been screwed beyond repair for at least another year or so >
Hey coach, great advice, got one for you in exchange- you could use a high temperature silicone, once its cured- no chance it will melt. Its softer and more flexible than the glue though, if thsi makes a difference ;)
you might want to clean your fan.. That is why it is getting hot. I cleaned it, and Stopped overheating completely..
It's not the fan, I have had it cleaned. I don't use this for video rendering anymore, but when you start working on 1080p videos with Vegas Pro- it will heat up any laptop.
Coach Peter Hanz i have the exact same vaio and stopped it over heating just by opening a few holes under the fan.
Thank you so much! Exactly the same laptop...had the charger in every angle under the sun until it had enough! Great video :-)
No problem! And thanks for the thumbs up :D if you only have one prong, that's good news. If you have two, squeezing them too tight will cause them to be crushed with the prong from the charger.
Mine is not twin in that inside.... T.T plss help...
Its not charging :(
Idk just keep trying
So I got chased by a dinosaur than attacked by a unicorn than attacked by monkeys then swallowed by pineapple then put into minecraft,what did I do wrong?
My laptop has the same problem! But doesn't have those 2 Pins only has one massive one? Help
same
Dylan Doughty same lol
Dylan Doughty same found any help
Dupasol 123 same found any help
same
Seriously I am looking at my Asus port and it looks nothing like yours at all. I don't see a ground on it at all. I just see the prong on the inside nothing else around it! HELP ME COACH!
OMG! I'm here for an Asus port too.
Maddy Lang same here. So difficult this asus T.T
same
Same
HeatherT614 sameee ASUS X553M
If it has the same type of port with prongs, yes :)
EXCELLENT! tried it on my Sony Vaio pcg61411l. do not have the two metals to squeeze but pried to pull out although covered with rubber. anyway, attempted to pull out. tried it and... IT WORKED!! WORKED!! thanx buddy!
Should I pop off my CAPS LOCK button?
this solution actually worked on my tablet!!couldnt get the light to stay on to charge. but i did the part of reajusting the inside of the charger port(bend it slightly) and it actually worked for my tablet(acer) thnkx for the vid
Awesome! Thanks for the thumbs up Josh!
My laptop is a Dell and I couldn't get it to work out like you did. Thanks for the info anyway. I find it so useful when people try to help each other. I did google and found another solution that worked great for me. Maybe it will help those who weren't able to make this work. The product is called Zinscot Tension Retainer and I bought mine on ebay. They also have it on Amazon. Worked like a charm.
I would recommend getting the golden chip out more so it can be snug. Once it you know it's snug, remove the charger and glue gun around the port so it stays firm. Hope this helps and thanks for the thumbs up! :)
That was awesome. It was so easy to followed your video and wow the charging light is brighter than ever. Many thank.
Super helpful, but how did you get the ground (gold chip) up?
Spot on, my sister in law's computer up and running. Now I can have mine back. Thank you..
"Brand new ones, as in 2012" Damn.
i think this is how companies get you to upgrade and buy a new system. I've owned 5 laptops and all the first problem they all had was either the charger going bad or old use. 3/5 went bad due to constantly replacing chargers and im finally having the port issue. This always happen after 2 years going on 3 but hey i can't proves this only observe a pattern
what about in only one needle? how to fix pleaseee
I'm gonna try to just bend mine a little, make better contact, cuz this sux.
@@wesnorthcutt639 did it work
If you know for sure it's just the charger, then get a new charger off eBay. Make sure to use the exact model number on your laptop. They usually range between $4-15. WAY cheaper than any stores $75+ "Universal" chargers that are the exact same quality as those on the eBay. Thanks for the thumbs up! :)
Thank you so much- Whatever you showed, i followed up and it worked!!! on my Acer Chromebook.
Omkari Emenke Wait did this really work I'd try it but I have no hot glue...
Yeah, if there is enough force applied to the port over a period of time- you'll constantly have to be fixing/positioning the plug, or even putting new glue. The reason it worked great for me over a long time is because it was a workstation. I bought a wireless mouse/keyboard for it and used that while having it plugged into my tv. Never moved it at all, still works great, but I use my new one now if I'm out and about.
Thanks man - I was just about to take my vaio to best buy to get it fixed but ran across this and it worked like a charm! Excellent!
This worked for me on my Sony Vaio. The light that shows it's charging doesn't turn on anymore, maybe because my battery is dead. Anyway, it works. Great video. Totally helpful. Thanks!
Note: I used a bowl of cashews instead of a bowl cereal and so that might be the reason it took me a few times to get it right ;)
Thank you for the thumbs up! Glad this video helped you out :D
Thank you so much for your video...I was able to fix my Toshiba Satellite laptop and I used both the tweezers and a tiny screwdriver to pull the prong out more. YAY!!!! I had not used my computer since last year...lol
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Thank you for the thumbs up! :D
what if i don't have two prongs?
What is a prong?
Visualize a clitoris and you'll know what a prong is.
Master Blackthorne What is a clitoris?
Saori Yukimura Ahahaha but "Ew Disgusting" is also natural. Natural reaction on a natural body part, it should be accepted. Hahaha.
Ew Disgusting.
So everytime a girl cops a squat she's peeing on her clit, also, most girls pee a little bit when they laugh or cough or sneeze...yeah they leak. FYI. A pubic service announcement, just trying to help...
Wow best quick fix for Power Sockets yet!!!Ta Buddy and Hi from lil oll New Zealand..you are Awsome!!!
WOW! This video is REALLY spanning out around the world :D
+Danny Faye Same here bruh
I have the exact same laptop. This solution worked great for two years until one of the contacts snapped from constant re-bending.
I really needed this fix but what I really love is the caps lock key. Mine was in my laptop bag within about two minutes of exiting the box. :)
My port slides back every time I put the charger in, my grandpa told me to buy a new battery. Do I just glue it?
His room is so clean
Bro you saved my life and my wallet!! thank you!!!
Army
I would never open up a laptop. Especially if it's something to do with the charging port. The stuff inside a laptop are extremely delicate, some pieces get a few specs of dust and just die. Whoever opened up yours and made it worse should pay you for damages. That's messed up Majah :(
You don't have to, but then you won't have something to counter the constant "loosening" of the port. If you have a laptop that heats almost to a burn, the glue will melt. It's happened to me.
Holy shit!! It totally works! A little too late, seeing how I went out and bought a mac anyways but it totally works!!!
i have a asus 501k from 2009 and today it decided that it wasn't going to charge. i knew the port was loose for a while so today i took the computer apart and found the wire that connects to the port into the motherboard, then i unplugged it blew it out and plugged it back in and put the laptop back together but that didn't work then i just put the battery back in and turned it on till it died and then decided to try seeing if the charger would work and it did no clue why or how but if this happens again i might just replace the port
umm its 2020 can u help tho i still got a 2013-2014 but it was top tier at the time it only has one of those silver/golden looking thing
Works for my Fujitsu Lifebok T900 Laptop. Thank you so much!
im frantically looking for 500 gb cloud storage before my laptop is a goner, but ill try to do something like this to make it last another while
Yeah, it turns out certain companies have stopped creating ports with prongs entirely. Too many customers have complained about loose port fixes. Which I think was something done on purpose to have customers pay over $100 to fix, but when you have reviewers online that murder their laptop in a video or written review, the companies start losing money, so they had to "upgrade" their ports to one prong, none, and now I think there are some similar-usb-style ports for charging :D
do you think it's because of the port or because of the cord? i was thinking about just buying a new cord... but idk
Cheers mate I've just fixed my acer 5742 saved me money and time. I had a charging problem for about 3 weeks now but now it's fixed thanks.
You have to eat a specific cereal or this will not work u have to eat pops frosted flakes or froot loops or this will not work hope I helped ;)
Dude yes. :)
Help? The silver or gold part doesn't seem to be bending up or maybe I'm not doing it right.. any close up clips for that.... your problem is exactly how mine is too on my Sony laptop... hope you can help... i have all my important paper works in there.
I don’t think you should do something like this you might destroy you’re computer I don’t know that for a fact I just assume it’s possible it might be screwed up
I tried putting a book but i think i putted way to much pressure and puched it all the way back so it wont reach my charger
dude!! tysm you saved almost everybodys live!!
The metal chip? You might need to use needle pliers from a construction store. A few friends have been bringing me their laptops and I use those, works awesome :)
hey completely different computer but it helped me fix my toshiba satellite a135 laptop! this gave me an idea about it!! OMG THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
You're welcome! Thank you for the thumbs up!!
I just used the tweezers and it worked. Duh, why didn't I think of this? Thank you so much.
what you really do is open it up, desolder or unplug the old one, buy a replacement part for ~$3 and solder/plug it in and it definitely will work!
nope, i replaced my power port but still have the looseness and have to find a sweet spot.the new power port did the exact same thing as before.so i put the old one back in.i have only one pin and cannot even see a gold area anywhere.replaced the charger but that didnt help either.still have to hunt for the sweet spot.hp laptop
Wow I can’t believe this worked! Thank you so much as my laptop is finally functioning and charging, I used the glue gun and that helps keep the plug in.
I squeezed the 2 prongs but I can't seem to pull the chip. Ugh driving me crazy
same ughhh
I have a netbook and it only has 1 prong as far as I can see..I'm going to grab an eyeglass repair kits and see if your repair concept will work. Thanks :)
I see. Thanks!
Mine has completely stopped, or it works at very select times, charging then stopping, charging then stopping.
Also, the weirdest part it, the tray icon show's "plugged in" picture, but the orange light doesn't blink.
That's when I know, its not sending a good charge through.
I saw a software fix somewhere...u ever heard of such a fix?
My goodness! Thank YOU!!! You just saved my life and my laptop, saved a couple of 1000 s from geek squad! Thank you thank you!!!
No probelm Isha! Thank you for the thumbs up :D And yes, GeekSquad charges a ridiculous amount for something that only needs a pair of tweezers and some cereal to fix. I'm glad you can use the few $1,000's for Christmas shopping instead :)
What if they both broke off? The two little things inside I mean.
I've spent an equivalent of over $200 on my laptop to get fixed. The port is still a bit iffy but my new charger should last me I hope.
Actually, I don't think deleting comments that are mistakes are jerk-material, I do it myself lol but I'm still confused by what you're saying?? You mean to say that the circle, before I glue gun it, is not the same for your laptop?
Love the video! Probally the more less scerious "How to fix something" video, thats why I love it. But sadly my gateway only has 1 prong.
Well, I have to completely disassemble my laptop to fix it. And what's wrong is its actually removed itself from the surface of the motherboard. I got this information from a computer tech at my school. I am having a hard time getting two screws loose. They are covering the hard drive and fan, but every other screw comes out without any hassle. Any idea on how I would get those two loose?
my vaio doesnt have the metal parts, instead there's a black plastic circle
pro tip: put the cereal into the space where the battery goes to never need to charge your laptop again
It's rare, but sometimes those screws have a special type of driver needed to remove them. My best bet would be to take a pic of the screw, and then take it to your tech department at school and ask to borrow the driver :)
Help please my charger has a problem i pulled the charger too fast that a peice got stuck and it doesnt allow me to charge and its low battery how we take the peice out??? My mom doesnt want to buy me a new laptop now :(
A green substance? I don't think that's safe, that might just be battery acid...
Hey man, I got the same laptop, gotta try this fix. I also had the same issue you mentioned about it getting hot. Just yourself some canned air duster and blow the shit out of all the vents on the bottom, and mainly the fan vent on the side. Blow it out until no more dust comes out. Mine was getting so hot I thought it would melt and now it runs cool and quiet (when it charges)
Anyway, good video, I'll give it a try.
they dont make tutorials like this anymore
