So...How can I replace the AC Jack on this laptiop with little soldering knowledge?

Kind Regards,

Corgi.

Update - Please see MB pictures attached.

Edit 25/9/24 - Thanks to the tireless work of shingle we have solved the issue. With a quick AC jack replacement and an installation my Laptop is now working!

just for ease of use I used this guide for disassembly : Dell XPS 15 9560 Fans Replacement

Though here are a few pitfalls I found!

- This should be what your hinge looks like Immediately after you open the laptop, you then need to undo three different screws, but first unplug the power connector, it has a bunch of red and black wires. Sorta like this:

- see bottom left,

Then you untape the ( very fragile, so be careful) screen connector and the AC jack ( Actually called a DC connector for some reason).

Then you need to unscrew the two screws on top of the hinge, and VERY VERY gently push the hinge upwards.

There you will find a third screw, unscrew this one but Put it somewhere safe as it is actually different than the two other screws you have just removed

Once you have done that gently slot the new part into the hole into the little cut out for it and using the screw you have just put aside for safety, screw the new part into the cutout, you shouldn't really have to worry about orientation as it actually only fits in the correct configuration.

Now move the screen cable and the new power connector away from the hinge to close the hinge, it should look like the picture before you removed the screws, then gently replace the tape.

Then pick up the new connector for the AC jack ( It should look like the picture below) and plug it into the slot with the dot/divet facing upwards.

gently push in with very very minor wiggling if needed. and then put the screws for the hinges in once everything looks seated correctly.

Then re assemble the laptop as the guide but read backwards and cograts you should have a working laptop! Whoo hoo!

i know that they should fit in the same chassis for the new 9560 model

i would like to know if anyone has a part number / price / website to buy the 97wh battery from

(preferably in the uk)

It can be barely seen from the top - see pictures

View from the top:

View from the bottom:

There is no access to the switch from either the kb or the bottom.

(*) An aside: coffee was spilt on it, it died, it was given to me. I got it going (much cleaning) and now it says "AC not connected". BTW there is no battery.

So the cpu clock speed always drop to 0.79-0.80ghz every time I run a game. Thereby causing the game and the laptop to lag.

I’ve cleaned the motherboard, the fans, and opened the cpu and gpu and the thermal paste still intact and not dry

I’ve cleaned the heat dessipitating panel.

I’ve undervolted it yet it still happens.

How do I fix this issue? Does that mean I can’t game with the laptop?

My battery was dying so i got a replacement one for my Dell XPS 15 9560. I installed it and followed the instructions about a full charge and then letting it run down to 0. Then to charge it fully. It worked fine last month. I just tried to turn it on and it will not work.

I took the back off and unplugged it. Held the power button for over 30 seconds, then reconnected it and tried charging it again.... No luck.

Is there something else I can try? Thanks.

Picture of the audio jack

@andrewsawesome Hey I apologize been busy with work. I can only answer about a few of those not too savvy on this microelectronics.

The number of pins seems to be 7. Dimensions and pin space I couldn't tell you as I have not taken the motherboard out of the pc and the jack is still within the motherboard.

Hello all! Again thanks for staying with me below are four (hopefully satisfactory) of the audio jack.

So I ended up finding a workshop that had digital calipers and measured it there (They also have a bunch of soldering equipment too! Whoop!) Attached a rough sketch but it seems you may be right @dadibrokeit

. Will order it and attempt to solder it when it gets here but I don't count on it arriving too soon.
