Asus K53E-MT1: How do I fix the ac plug in?

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 04:01:17 -0700

The power adapter won't stay connected when I try to recharge the battery or run it on a/c power. I have to forcefully hold it in place. I've checked the cord and it is okay.

Asus K53E-MT1: Can I resolder the contacts on my ac adaptor input jack?

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 01:08:52 -0700

I have a faulty input jack for my ac adaptor.(It is the jack on the laptop). It is loose, and I suspect it may have broken solder joints. I would like to test that theory, before replacing the jack itself. Does this sound feasible? I plan on using the dis-assembly guide, available on your website.

Asus K53E-MT1: I cannot get connection to Asus Laptop model K53E from power cord.

We started having intermittent difficulty powering up the pc at first. Best Buy suggested replacing the power cord. The problem continued with greater frequency to the point that we put pc on a shelf and bought iPads. It has been quite a while but I would like to know if it is worth having the pic fixed, or recycle it and buy a rebuilt one.

This pc has not been damaged or abused in any way.

Asus K53E-MT1: Can I replace my existing K53E motherboard with K53SV motherboard?

Mon, 23 Apr 2018 13:19:31 -0700

Hello, I bought a Asus k53e used off of kijiji a while ago. I have tried gaming on this laptop, and it wasn't really good enough for me because it had intel graphics. I have been doing research on this model, and it turns out there is an motherboard with nvidia graphics on it.

I would like to get the motherboard with the 630m 2gb, but is it worth it the performance difference compared to the 540m? The k53sv motherboard is around 50cad with the 540m. The one with the 630m is almost 100$. However the 630m 102% better than the intel graphics. The 540m is only 78% better. I will be overclocking the gpu. And i will be getting a cooling pad for gaming as well. I've seen videos of the 540m once overclocked, runs bf3 at 45-60fps on ultra.

The following is the specs of the motherboard, and the cpu i'm also going to be buying for it.

-K53SV motherboard Rev 3.0

-I5 2450m (From an I3 2350m)

-Nvidia gt 540m 2GB (I have the Intel hd 3000 currently.)

Will the motherboard be compatiable with the k53e? The ports look the same so I would think it would work.

Thank you.

Asus K53E-MT1: Problem replacing the power jack connector

The power jack connector in the motherboard has been replaced. Then the computer has been assembly again and it didn't turn on.

I would like to know if the four pins at the side of the connector must be connected together when the power connector is assembled in the motherboard.
