Quick answer

If your laptop runs out of charge quickly, shuts down at a high percentage or charges only when the cable is held at an angle, the battery or the DC power jack is usually at fault. We test the battery, adapter and port, replace only the failed part, and confirm the price, typically ₹500 – ₹5,000, before starting.

Is it my battery or my charging port?

Bring it in if you notice any of these signs.

  • Battery drops from full to empty in well under an hour of light use
  • Laptop shuts off suddenly at 20%, 30% or more
  • Windows shows “Plugged in, not charging” or “Consider replacing your battery”
  • Laptop only works with the charger connected
  • Charging starts and stops when you move the cable
  • Charger pin feels loose or wobbly in the socket
  • Touchpad lifting, keyboard bulging or the base not sitting flat
  • Burning smell, scorch marks or heat near the charging socket
Swollen battery? Stop using it nowA battery that is bulging, lifting the touchpad or pushing the case apart can catch fire. Shut the laptop down, unplug the charger, do not press on the swelling or try to remove a glued-in battery yourself, and keep it on a hard surface away from anything flammable until you can bring it in.

How does battery and power jack replacement work?

  1. Test

    We check battery health and wear, the adapter's output and the DC jack, so we know which part has actually failed.

  2. Quote

    You get the price and turnaround for your exact model before we order or open anything.

  3. Replace

    We fit the battery, the jack or its DC-in cable, and check the charging circuit around it.

  4. Charge test & collect

    We run a charge and discharge check, then hand it over with a written warranty.

What does this service cover?

Laptop battery replacement

Internal (screwed or glued) and removable batteries, matched to your model's part number and voltage.

DC power jack & DC-in cable

Loose or broken barrel-type charging sockets. On many laptops the jack sits on a separate cable that can be swapped.

USB-C charging ports

Laptops that charge over USB-C, where the port is worn, loose or no longer negotiating power.

Charging fault diagnosis

When the battery and jack are fine, we trace the fault on the board and quote for it separately.

Not covered by this service

  • A faulty charger (adapter). We test it and tell you if it is the cause, but replacing it is a separate purchase.
  • Normal battery wear after the warranty period. Every lithium battery loses capacity with use.
  • Laptops with liquid damage around the charging circuit. These need cleaning first, see liquid damage repair.

Battery or jack: which part is failing?

A rough guide. We always confirm with a test before quoting.

Battery and charging port FAQs

How much does a laptop battery replacement cost in Kolkata?

It depends on your laptop model, the battery's capacity and whether it is glued in. Most battery replacements fall in the ₹500 – ₹5,000 range, and we confirm the exact price for your model before we start.

How do I know if my laptop battery needs replacing?

The common signs are a much shorter battery life than before, sudden shutdowns at a set percentage, a Windows battery warning, or swelling. On Windows you can run powercfg /batteryreport in Command Prompt and compare “Full charge capacity” with “Design capacity”.

Read our guide: 5 signs your laptop battery is failing.

Is a swollen laptop battery dangerous?

Yes. Swelling means gas has built up inside the cells, and a damaged lithium battery can overheat or catch fire. Stop using and charging the laptop, do not press or puncture the battery, and bring it in so it can be removed safely.

Can a loose charging port be fixed without replacing the motherboard?

Usually, yes. Many laptops have the DC jack on a separate cable or small board that can be replaced on its own. Where the jack is soldered to the motherboard, we replace the socket itself and explain the extra work in your quote.

Can I use my laptop with the charger only, without a battery?

Many laptops will run from the adapter alone, but some reduce performance without a battery and any power cut will switch the laptop off instantly. It is fine as a short-term fix for a dead battery, not for a swollen one, which should be removed.

Is it bad to keep my laptop plugged in all the time?

Modern laptops stop charging when full, so it is not dangerous, but staying at 100% and running warm does age the battery faster. If your laptop maker's app offers a charge limit (often around 80%), turning it on helps the battery last longer.

How long does a battery or power jack replacement take?

When the part for your model is available, the fitting itself does not take long. If it has to be ordered, it takes longer. Your quote states the expected turnaround: same day to 3 working days.
