MSI A6200 Laptop Power Jack Problems

[MisterD]

My MSI A6200 was shutting down at times but only when I had the Power Supply plugged in and also the connector was hot to the touch, it wouldn't always recharge the battery, I was thinking I was going to have to disassemble it and resolder the DC Jack but I tried something else, I just kept unplugging and plugging in the AC Adapter connector at a fast rate over and over and spinning it around back and forth, this cleaned the jack connector and now it's working normally again. not getting hot at all and charging the battery again.

Well that was an easy fix but I suggest you replaced the dc jack the corrosion is going to come back.

It started doing it again, this time I took a small screwdriver and scraped the negative outside edge connector inside the jack, now it's working normally again. I really don't want to have to replace the jack unless totally necessary. I think I will coat that portion of the jack with a light coat of petroleum jelly.
