Does anyone recognise this as being a power jack problem?
Recharge light started to flash regularly on Asus M70V. Pretty soon plug started needing twisting to get it to start actually charging the computer. Soon I noticed that the plug was melting. Then naturally the whole computer stopped charging at all and nothing the plug would do would charge at all
Plug had slight arcing but not so bad that it would prevent power getting through.
I replaced the plug and noticed slight melting at the plastic around the socket. And there is melting on the plastic at the tip of the old plug.
But with the new plug, the light only blinks and no amount of twisting it will get it to work properly
Does anyone think this is a power jack replacement repair or is the problem more likely on the mobo or in the internal power supply?
