In this guide I explain how to take apart a HP Pavilion dv8 laptop. I’m taking it apart in order to replace failed DC jack.
The LED light on the DC jack started flickering when adapter plug moved. I tested laptop with another known good AC adapter but it didn’t fix the problem. I assumed this is DC jack related failure and decided to replace it.
