Hi I changed dc power jack on my laptop asus x53s because old one was broken but now it doesnt work more.I beleve that its settled very well because I tried to reset bios and when I putted the charger I saw 3 green led lights for 3 seconds but it doesn charge.Thanks
 
Perhaps the circuitry on the board is faulty. It's difficult to say whether the new jack or solder job is good or not. Unfortunately that's something you'll need to troubleshoot yourself.

Can you run the laptop off of the charger with no battery installed?
 

i just bought an original asus charger here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360702139908?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649


 

I removed the battery for 1 minute and I plugged the charger without battery and as I said above I saw 3 green light in that moment.
Yes Ofcourse I will open again and I will make some photos.

 

I dont have my smartphone I can do the photos only with webcam

From the pictures you have send, it seems that you did a good work at replacing the DC jack, but the pictures are out of focus for really see if you don't have a broken trace, sorry.
 

Anyway thankyou but now I remember that the guy wich had the laptop before me used a chinese charger universal wich was 24 V but this asus works with 19V ,so I changed the battery and I bought new original asus charger.maybe any fuse fail?I dont know if the laptop has fuses and if yes where I need to control the fuses?

 
No, your laptop does not have any fuses in the circuit for the power inputs, you have a few coils, but I do not think this is the problem. Surely a component has exploded with a voltage of 24 volts from the adapter.
