Signs your ASUS ZenBook UX21E needs this repair

- Laptop only charges at a certain angle
- Loose or wobbly charging socket
- Burning smell or scorch marks near the socket
- Battery runs down even when plugged in
- No charging light at all
How we fix your ASUS ZenBook UX21E
We test your charger first. A faulty adapter causes the same symptoms and is a cheaper fix, so you don't pay for a repair you don't need.
If the jack is at fault, we remove the board, take out the old jack and fit a new one, or replace the DC-in cable on models where the jack sits on a lead. We then check the charging circuit so your ASUS ZenBook UX21E charges reliably.
How long it takes
Power jack repairs are usually finished the same day or the next working day.
Good to know: Stop using a laptop that smells of burning near the charging socket. A shorting jack can damage the motherboard.
ASUS ZenBook UX21E is the 11.6-inch member of the first Zenbook generation of October 2011, an aluminium Ultrabook with Intel Sandy Bridge processors. More about the ASUS ZenBook UX21E
Common questions
Could the fault just be my charger?
Sometimes. A faulty charger causes the same symptoms, so we test yours before recommending any repair.
Will the battery need replacing as well as the power jack?
Not always. A battery that has been run flat many times may be worn, and we'll let you know after testing.
