m15x wont turn on

[anders11]

The battery was dieing so I got a new battery and it worked fine, The power cable was janky and became hard to keep plugged in eventually loosing its power and I couldnt get it to connect and battery died, Bought a new charger http/www.amazon.com/Laptop-Charger-Dell-Latitude-Studio-Power-Adapter/dp/B00GK68A46/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 and It wont seem to work. Wrong charger or somthing with computer?

Hi,

An original M15X charger has a 150W 19.5V 7.7A by default and the charger you bought is a bit lower that may be the factor why it's not booting up.

Here's a sample of an original charger for your laptop:

I had already ordered another one, http/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030ER9R0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00 Matches my old one but doesn't seem to work either. I was able to get the old one to work for a little bit by jiggling it to the exact right position but its about impossible to find and maintain. The port seems stable inside the computer but maybe something is damaged on the inside or not connecting?

Hi, maybe the solder is open for the power jack on the motherboard, it must be soldered or replaced.
