The other tech are afraid of taking apart laptops and soldering new DC jacks.
Re: The link up ^there; one of the guys I work with likes to blow the dust out of PC cases with canned air. The fucking dust drifts all over the shop. I wish I could kill him

cram it into a tube, put one end of the tube in a pressurised can and shove the other in his gob. release the pressure and hey presto! tons of dust shoot into his lungs causing a slow and painful death.

I SWEAR they're designed so that they'll break and the owner will have to spend lots of money getting it repaired - or get muggins here to do it for nowt :(
seriously, they should be set into a block of aluminium that's then bolted to the mainboard or laptop case, too many idiots dropping laptops/tripping over the power cable
when I mean idiots, I mean friends :/
soldering has become a double edged sword for me now, I've got to the level that I can solder/unsolder 0.5mm pitch chips but I do so much I'm starting to get sick of it so my own at home projects suffer

It was a Dell XPS laptop. The jack also had an integrated 2 color LED. I had to desolder 12 points to remove the jack. I cheated by breaking the thing apart and cutting away the plastic with the soldering iron. They use a very low lead solder which is very difficult to remove with a wick.
The customer wanted the old jack. He was surprised when I immediately headed to the back and came back with all 20-something pieces of plastic and metal in a small plastic container. People are weird, but I know what to expect from them; that's why I saved the pieces.

I had a couple of kooky aunts who would bring home anything that was removed from them during their stay at the hospital. Anything from gallstones to cataracts. Just lovely.

I've always been more of a software/virus/missing files/omigodwhatdoidonowibrokeitfixer/networkystuff/teacher/tech than a hardware guy.
Truly good hardware techs are hard to find. By that I mean someone who can determine beyond doubt whether it is the video card, memory, motherboard or hard drive that is causing the problem.
The boss is a hack. He orders motherboards for laptops without even cracking the case open, then throws the fucking mess on my bench when he discovers that the video card was a separate component after all... *snicker*
