I had what I thought was a broken DC Jack on my laptop. I took it to a local shop, where after 2 days of diagnosis they told me that I was right, and it would take a week to repair. 2 weeks later, they tell me that not only can they not fix it (they said they were missing the proper tools), but that they would have to charge me the cost of the part (~$20), and that my AC Adapter was broken along with my DC Jack.
After this experience, I brought my laptop to Tony at Connectionz, who after looking at my laptop for less than a minute told me that I didn't need my DC Jack replaced at all, all I needed was a new AC Adapter, which I could buy for $10-$20 online. He verified with a volt meter that my AC Adapter was the problem on the spot for no charge, rather then go through with the unnecessary and more costly DC Jack replacement.
I wish I had gone to Tony in the beginning, I would have had my laptop up and running much faster, at a lower cost, and with no unnecessary repairs. If I ever have laptop problems in the future, I'll definitely be giving Connectionz a call.
