Replace dc jack - Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet PC

Yes, you'll need a 3.5 mm audio cable (PC audio) with M/M ends. Connect the cable between the headphone jack of the Next Book and the Aux Input of the Rave speaker. The Aux Input jack on the speaker is between the charging port and the On/Off switch. The headphone jack is between the power button and the DC Power Input port on some Next Book models; you should check your unit's documentation for the exact location. Only the volume controls on the Rave speaker will work. You'll need to select tracks and press Play/Pause on the Next Book.

I hope this helps.

Looks like the internal battery is shot. Contact HP for price for replacement of the internal battery,

did you try another power adapter? If it's not the problem of the power adapter, you might need to check again the power jack, Asus uses a very small power jack for EEE PC series, it is easy to loose on the motherboard..
If a power jack needed, check this page: http://www.lapdiy.com/asus-eeepc-eee-pc-1025c-netbook-dc-power-jack-socket-p-42259.html
wish this can help you.

Hi,
Yes their is, depending on the tablet itself you need to find the screws to take it apart but yes, you could take it apart and see if you could try doing it yourself depending on how easy it might just need a new dc port

Thanks

Sometimes you need a special adapter to charge thru the USB port.

Does anyone actually read the questions before giving an answer? These other 3 answers are useless READ THE QUESTION. I have the EXACT same problem as the Original Poster.

There is not a schematic or repair manual available for this model. However, I was able to locate a video walkthrough on youtube for a similar Coby Kyros. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cun9tzfiFQ.

This is difficult to take apart without destroying the plastic - even with the right tools (http://phonebuz.com/images/tool%20case%20opener.jpg). If you use a screwdriver to pry it open, you'll destroy the plastic in the process. There are 4 clips across the top, 4 clips across bottom, and 6 on each side.

On our model you have to pry outward on the grey plastic around the edges, and up on the black plastic bezel that surrounds the screen at the same time to release the side clips. At that point you can work around to the top and bottom with a (preferably plastic) pry tool. Guitar pics work well too.

The DC Jack is surface mount to the Motherboard,so as long as the jack came off cleanly and didn't rip the contacts off the board, it's pretty easy to re-solder it back on.

On mine they tried to glue the jack in place to keep the DC Jack from coming loose, but that jack takes a lot of abuse for how small it is.

LOL, sounds like your tablet has seen it's better days. See why HP got out of the Tablet business? They are nothing but trouble.

Use a straightened paper clip or similar implement to press the RESET button, located between the microSD card slot and the DC input power jack.

remove the battery, connect the ac adapter and turn on the laptop. If it turns on then it's your battery. If it doesn't turn on then it is either your ac adapter, your dc jack, or your system board.

If it doesn't turn on then try a different ac adapter from your local pc shop or electronics store. If it still doesn't work then try moving the ac adapter connector and see if it attempts to turn on. If it does then it's your dc jack. If it is your dc jack then you will have to replace it. The problem with that is that it can be pretty expensive to replace it.

The way I have solved this is by ordering a dc jack on ebay or any other online parts supplier and replacing it myself. If you can take your computer apart and put it back together then it's just a matter of desoldering and soldering the new one. If you want you can have a pc or tv shop do the soldering for you.

Have fun and let me know if you have anymore questions.

first you need to see if the dc plug looks like this http://www.laptopjacks.com/view_part/Toshiba-Laptop-DC-Power-Jack-TS312030.html

if it does its just a simple unplug and replace .
