Your missing a key component in the video, you go right from solder finish to plugging in when you never show the installation of the new jack. I will find a different video to show me that important point.

@firstcomputerservice those jacks are pretty straight forward to install, now when you

get a smashed in DC Jack Port seat on the bottom case then that needs to be shown, I will try to do that video someday, I have a whole new method in seating the DC Jack in the case of Toshiba's and HP's I do not even have time now to solder these anymore I just buy the pre-made plug in jacks, I still solder the Toshiba Jacks.

I have a HP DV4 I had my laptop on a long time it kill the battery so it turned off so every time I plug the changer in it lights up cut on a min with the battery ONLY and turns off. So I replaced the changer and it worked a min then, cut off. So I don't know if the DC plug need replacing or the motherboard but, no blue screen.The jack did sometimes say not changing and was plugged in But, it did kill my old changer. I took it to Greek Squad and they want $150 just to fix.Please help thanks.
