Why dc power ports break?
Number one reason is if you use a universal power adapter. Universal adapters are not made specifically for your dc power port. They sit extremely tightly on your dc power port pin and thus any movement up down left right usually breaks the pin off. Number two reason is faulty power plug on your AC Adapter, when a power plug goes bad it usually backfires on your dc power port due to constant twisting and turning of the DC plug, we replace these at no extra charge. Third reason is due to a bad dc power port design. Many HP, Compaq, Gateway, Acer, Toshiba and Asus models have bad port designs that don’t have a securing bracket that holds the port down to the motherboard preventing any movement sideways or up and down.
