How do you take apart dell vostra 3450 to get to charge port

Trying to take a broken pin in chareport

  • Anonymous Jun 13, 2018

    Hi Michael Coombs, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
    read the Dell service manual yet.
    you can, go to dell and do so.
    you are lucky it has power cable inside.
    it just unplugs.
    but the PC must be dismantled.
    and not wreck the very very fragile ribbon jacks. do you know now to do those?
    all 3 types and not wreck them,
    if not ask a tech, who knows.


    why ask fixya and not DELL.com?
    Dell made it and has service manual to read.
    that be first.

    here it is,
    see every word there searched "screw"
    and there is your answer.
    http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-pr...

    on many laptops the every parts must be removed.
    then the MOBO last , inverted then that cable removed from the back side of the mobo.

    page 79 shows 1 clue.
    page 83 is BINGO.
    14 steps, nice book,.

    as they say RTFM. (read the fine manual)

The only way to replace the port is to replace the motherboard in the system.
They are available here:

SOURCE: Can a broken pin in the charging port of a

yes,



the folowing advice pertains to the following magellan gps systems.

Magellan 800, 860, 2000, 2200t, 2500, 3000, 3050, 3100, 3140, 4000, 4040, 4050 and 6000t

i fix these and many other magellan gps daily so when considering my advice , please understand i do not google my solutions.

assuming your car charger is working (the little green light is on) and your magellan still wont start up after holding the power button while its plugged in for up to ten seconds and still does not start..read below

this is actually a very common problem with these magellan power ports...they are poor quality from the factory and always and i mean always fail..the new ports that you find on ebay are 100% better then the factory port.

if your able to replace that power port yourself, you can get one HERE, if not, ask the fellow that sells them for help.

due to some dubious "experts" on fixya, im not permitted to help you directly, but please follow the link above to get further help.

let me know if you need more help or info

SOURCE: Dell laptop model latitude e5500 serial port one

Hello there
Many serial port pins use several of the pins but sometimes not all of them It depends upon how the serial port is wired internally on which pins it uses.
But if yours indeed does not work you will have to have it replaced by a computer repair shop or sombody that is able to unsolder the old one from the board and have a new one resoldered one this generally costs about
100 dollars ok hope this helps
Best regards mike

Firstly, you don't need to use capslock, it just feels like you're being shouted at ;)
Try rotating the sharget in the port, it may just be that it has a loose contact. If the port is broken to the extent that this doesn't work, then I'm afraid I don't think its not going to be simple to fix (if at all). I can't really help more than that from here, your best bet is to take it along to a computer dealer and let them have a look at it, they will be able to give you a definite answer as to whether it can be fixed at all.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

My dell laptop isn't charging when plugged in. What should i do?

Dell chargers have a centre pin to allow the laptop to sense that the charger is a genuine Dell one. If the battery is not charging then:

a) Battery is faulty (old and dead)
b) Pin missing on the charger, wire broken or not original Dell device
c) Charging port on the laptop has become loose.

Hope this helps.

Male power port is loose hard to chasrge unit

The port is female with a center pin, the male portion is on the charger.
If you damaged this pin and it is loose you will need to replace the plug on the charger. Since these are very similar to some laptop charging ports, having a broken laptop around with same size charging port would be a bonus, or a friend with one too, but they are relatively cheap, I fix broken ones on laptops several times a year and can find a pair of them shipped for under $10 typically.
Sometimes you need to solder them on, sometimes they connect with a dongle, should be easy enough to take apart and peek inside.
Other wise, if that is beyond your expertise, does the charger have a cigarette lighter, you could likely charge it through that port, or with a trickle charger directly on the battery cables on the unit if need be.

A) You don't want to take the laptop apart.

B) You don't have the money to have it repaired.

C) Keep going like you are with fiddling with it, and you'll smoke the AC adapter (Charger), and Power MOSFET's on the motherboard.

What !O_O! sort of 'miracle cure' are you expecting?

If you wish to correctly repair the laptop, this is the place.

Rig it so it works temporarily, and maybe permanently damages it?

Suggest go to another website.

Vostro 1510 laptop. Motherboard need replacing?

The best available solution is not an happy one, but the cheapest. E-bay will usually have your part for a fraction of the price ($100 or less for the entire mobo), but then you need to take the computer apart and do the replacement work. Easy....... but terrifying!!

Hi,
I am a Dell Certified System Engineer(DCSE)

try taking out tthe battery and then try powering the system only on ac adapter connected
if it doesn't power on only on the ac adapter make sure that the port on the system where you plug in the ac adapter for any kind of bent or broken pins
if the port is ok then get your ac adapter replaced.
