Hp laptop repair with broken audio jack plug stuck in headphone jack.

Hp laptop repair with broken audio jack plug stuck in the headphone jack.

 The repairing step by step:


  •  Tr  Try to pull out the power connector very carefully.

  • Open the computer and remove the motherboard.

  • See if the audio jack has any holes or slots in the back to insert a pin or paper clip to clear the obstruction.

  • If point 3 is negative, make an incision using a fine-tipped soldering iron and a surgeon's scalpel.

  • Ventilation cleaning, change of thermal paste.

  • Assemble the computer and perform tests and tests.

Practical case:

They brought us a Hp laptop to the workshop with the problem of a broken headphone jack inside the female audio connector. This problem caused the sound to not work, the headphones could not be used, and therefore, we have a completely deaf and dumb laptop.

The first thing we have tried is to introduce a metal rod inside the female connector, but with Loctite adhesive. In principle, the piece should have come out when the glue dried. It did not come out, so we opened the computer, and we have completely disassembled it. The intention was to introduce a needle from the rear internal part of the female headphone connector to remove the tip that was causing the failure.

It should be noted that software can solve the problem of switching the current connector, that is, when the input is obstructed there is no sound from the computer's speakers. It is not possible on all computers, but on some it is. The laptop would not look good in this case because whenever we later want to format the computer we have to be very careful to solve the problem by software.

When disassembling we verified that there was no hole in this model to carry out the extraction, so we opted to make an incision in the upper part, to be able to push the half pin that had remained inside. The result was successful.  We clean the ventilation and change the thermal paste, and the client has his laptop back in good condition.

Additional notes

The commented case has been in a 14-inch hp computer. It could be applicable to Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, and any other brands of laptops on the market. If a laptop's headphone jack breaks, it can be swapped with the microphone jack, if you have one. Getting a new pin is virtually impossible unless you go through exploded views and locate the same motherboard.

Everything you need to know about cleaning dust on your MacBook

Today in the Quik Fix Technologies blog, we decided to talk about a subject that will speak to many people: cleaning dust on your MacBook. We will not talk here about software cleaning but about cleaning dust and dirt on your machine. Sorry in advance for PC users, on this topic we will focus particularly on cleaning MacBooks. Why MacBooks? Because from experience, as Laptop repair in Dubai, we come across a lot of very dusty MacBooks. (But let us know on our Facebook page or our Twitter page if you want us to do the same article for PCs!) We'll see now what is the benefit for you of regularly cleaning your MacBook and how to do some of it yourself.

Why clean the dust from your MacBook?

Dust is the sworn enemy of the MacBook, it causes overheating, slows it down, and can even accelerate what is called planned obsolescence. It's not a scoop, MacBooks are an expensive investment, and you have to take care of it regularly to keep them in good shape for the long term! Here are the main factors that will dirty your MacBook over time:

Dust isn't limited to what you see on your screen or on your keyboard.

It will hide under the components and be impossible to really clean it if everything is not disassembled. Are you able to do it yourself? If not, Quik Fix Technologies, your MacBook repair Dubai can help you on this subject! Our advice: clean it yourself every 2 to 3 months on the surface, and once a year, do a preventive cleaning at your local repairer.

Did you know summer is bad for your MacBook? 

No relation you will tell me, and yes yes! In the summer, the MacBook's sensors do their job well and run the MacBook's fans to cool it down. Unfortunately, this brings a lot of dust into the computer and can clog the ventilation grilles. As a result, your computer overheats and you may have slowdown problems because even if your device is recent, it can no longer evacuate heat. It is a cleaning that we

recommend doing every year with the MacBook (especially the Pro Retina which gets the gold medal for clogging!) because in one year, the grilles manage to become clogged and the dust accumulates on the fan.

Another bad factor for your machine: is cigarettes. 

The tar and chemicals in cigarette smoke aren't just bad for your lungs, they're also bad for your computer's vital organs. The components of cigarette smoke make it much easier for the dust to stick to your computer. You can build up endless layers without realizing it! Tip: Have your MacBook thoroughly cleaned if you're a smoker (sometimes some parts even need to be laundered!), or don't smoke in the same room.

How to clean your MacBook?

Part of your computer can be cleaned by yourself without any problem: it is the exterior surface (even if you still have to take some precautions). For the internal part of the MacBook, do not touch it unless you know it. At Quik Fix Technologies, we offer cleaning packages for your computer. The tools recommended by Apple on their site to clean the surface of your MacBook are these:

  • Ø  a soft cloth (any other type of cloth could damage the device)
  • Ø  do not use liquids
  • Ø  do not use aerosols, solvents, or abrasives
  • Ø  do not spray the cleaner directly on the product

Additionally, Apple recommends that you unplug the machine from any external power source while cleaning.


Best Practices to Clean Macbook

How to clean the different parts of your computer?

(Be careful, unplug your computer first and turn it off)? For the outside of the device, use a soft cloth, if you use a liquid, do not spray it directly on the computer. For the screen, remove dust with a dry soft cloth, then dampen a soft cloth with water only (especially no window cleaner, detergent, solvent, etc.).

Be careful, contrary to popular belief, the air bomb is a bad idea.

It has an effect, yes, but the problem is that it pushes the dust and does not suck it up, unfortunately, such small suction equipment is not very easy to find for individuals. To dust off your keyboard and the inside of your MacBook, contact a professional. 

Here you have all the information in mind to properly clean your MacBook!
