Satellite Pro U200 - DC jack is broken
Posted: 07-Feb-2012 00:42
 
Hello everyone

I was wondering if you guys can help me as i have broken the dc jack on my laptop, its only charging when the charger pin is in it at a certain angle and i can actually feel the jack in my laptop moving so its not the charger. I have tried looking for it over the internet but to no avail as i dont know the part number and even if i put the serial number on the website its not actually giving me the part number and maybe cause toshiba dont make them anymore :(
Now i am looking for power jack for Satellite Pro U200-199
Part Number : PLUA1E-01900JEN
Key Features
  • Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology featuring Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7200
  • Genuine Windows XP® Professional
  • 100 GB Hard Disk Drive
  • 1,024 (512+512) MB DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)
  • 12.1" Toshiba TruBrite® WXGA TFT display
  • Slim DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) drive

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ne last thing, i got some experience in hardware but not very good with soldering, would it require soldering or does it come with the wire which can be clicked into place.

Thanks
xaver

In the past I found several threads where people have reported about the same issue but on different notebook model. Obviously some of them have done good job and repaired it alone.
To find this DC jack is not a problem.

You can find it on eBay and it is not expensive. Put in google “DC jack U200” and you will find it.

Problem is that whole notebook must be disassembled and new DC jack soldered in the right place.
Can you do this?
I mean if you don’t have experience with this stuff don’t touch anything and ask for professional help.

Thanks for the reply mate :) i was thinking about buying the whole dc jack with wire which can be clicked in rather than soldering it. I have got some experience in hardware and in desktops i have taken the hard disks out and fans and put them back on with thermal grease and changing those rams so done fair bit but soldering is something i havent got much experince with and would be a bit careful before i wanna try that.

I have seen few of them on ebay but am not sure which is the right one hence i thought ill ask here as you guys would have more knowledge about these things.
There is one without the wire which would be the last resort but i have kept it as an option.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220719961631&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Now this is the one with the wire where i can change the whole thing as it can be clicked on to it.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260801562551&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

What do u guys suggest and do u think its the right part? or what would be the part number if its not the right one.
Thanks

Hi

I found an DC harness part number P000459560 which should be compatible with Sat Pro U200 series.
Google simply for this part number.
You can order such part also from an Toshiba ASP in your country.
