@ Bernie,
Yes, you can replace the DC jack without replacing the power board but you have to know how to solder. The DC jack soldered to the board.
On the other hand, the DC jack itself cost about $5 and the whole power board about $12 (on eBay). If I was you, I would replace the whole board.

@ rodwell,

Here’s something to try:
1. Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter. Wait for a few minutes and after that plug in the power adapter and try turning it on.
2. Try removing RAM modules one by one. Maybe one of the modules is bad.
3. Remove the power button cover (as shown in steps 8 and 9 in this guide). Try pushing on the power button directly. It’s possible the plastic button on the cover is broken.

He replace the jack and the powerboard( he called it the “circut board”) and still no power. He then mailed it back to me and told me he thinks its a bad motherboard and he doens’t repeair that issue. My question to you, Is it even worth buying a motherboard, because I have spent atleast 200$ on this acer aspire 3280 and I would love to have it alive again, but is my money better off purchasing a brand new laptop with no issues at all??? I would like to fix it myself if at all possible

@ Lavon Tuberville,

I found the power button to be just sitting in its place but not connected to anything. If I order the power board, will it come with a replacement “ON” button, and how does it attach to the power board.

What do you mean the power button is not connected to anything? Is it broken?
In this model the power button is soldered to the power board (as you can see in step 20). If you replace the power board, it will have new power button.

In thinking it might be the Power Board, I have just disassembled the laptop, as per your instructions. I found the power button to be just sitting in its place but not connected to anything. If I order the power board, will it come with a replacement “ON” button, and how does it attach to the power board. The existing power brd. is DAOZRiPB6EO Rev: E, If I order that # from you, will I get the same part #? If button is a separate part, how do I order it?
I’m not a comp. Tech and I just hope I can get this thing back together.
Thanks.

@ Jon Villablanca,
