I know nothing about fixing laptops; I just removed all the screws, opened it up and Super-Glued the broken jack and base together in the correct position and it has been working fine for months. By the way, shortly after that my AC Adapter quit working. Toshiba and the stores in my area wanted $60.00-$100.00 for a replacement. So I browsed thru E-Bay and found many similar adapters for much, MUCH cheaper. Believe it or not, I paid $1.95 + $7.95 s&h for a brand new, off-brand adapter that has been supplying my laptop with power for a year now! And we use it a lot every day. I am still stunned. Can't remember the name of the company but they had plenty more of them. To heck with replacing a broken base assembly or DC-IN jack.

I am also a php programmer programming dating web sites trading web sites. PHP Mysql PHP Myadmin. The Toshiba lap top satellite L355D-S7825 AMD 64 unit is a defect it was shipped with a 17 screen AMD turion processor with 3gigs of memory 667 MHz bus speed/ 250 gig hard drive. from my technical standards I have replaced three system boards in this unit the first one lasted from factory about 12 months. I asked for repair Toshiba said it was going to be fixed I ended up paying for it $350.00 at the time lap tops were 600.00 at the cheapest. I then had to replace a second system board really making it the third being shipped with the unit. After replacing the board twice and it dieing again I gave up on the unit with a total waste of $1500.00 I personally recommend apple lap tops none other is visable in my point of view. I also repair apple computers as well and have never received a repair for any of them. You get what you pay for.

I think mine was just 6 months old. I bought a new cord and it worked again. Just tonight my screen popped off on the left side where that funky screw is. If I take that to Best Buy where I bought it can they fixed that or should I even bother. My computer is 3 years old, but runs great otherwise. How much do you think they would charge for something like that to fix? Thanks for your help. Very interesting to read. I got blamed for not being able to charge mine as well.

1. Test your laptop with another adapter. Your adapter could be defective.
2. Examine the DC jack harness.
3. If the AC adapter and jack is good, this is motherboard related failure.

Like the other guys said: * make sure you get every single screw you see on the bottom of the laptop off first, even the bay for the hard drive (take the hard drive out as well), and the bay to the ram, which there is one or two screws to remove there. *on the top, with the screen open, just above the Function keys you see the smooth glossy plastic piece about 11.5" wide and 3/8" thick, pry it off carefully with a flathead screwdriver, start at the sides to avoid breaking the piece down the middle. *there are 2 screws to remove under that thing plastic piece *you can then wiggle the keyboard free and carefully lift it out, it obviously has a short ribbon connected to the MB *release the ribbon by pressing both black tabs on the ribbon connection to the motherboard downward *remove all the screws you find under the keyboard and gently pry the rest of the top panel off. *again, make sure ALL screws are removed before pulling top panel off. Hope that is accurate of what i did earlier.. Hey guys,
