+frankodragon Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'm a noob at identifying electronic components so I'll try to explain what I really need: The power component socket on a Telegames Personal Arcade broke off one time so I tried soldering it back on. But after so much heat, it melted and a tiny piece of metal fell out of the socket so it's no good anymore. The second pic is the broken component -sorry about the quality. Is there an online electronics store that have replacement parts? I don't want to pay another $95 for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwane413 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm pretty sure it is called a "power jack". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've got one of those barrel connector sockets. Not sure of the size yet, but it does match you board pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just wire the power cord directly the the motherboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just wire the power cord directly the the motherboard. I don't know if that's possible. The PC board has 3 solder pads, which the jack was soldered to, the AC adapter-only 2 wires. I can't remember if the power supply was 9 or 12V.

ApolloBoy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just wire the power cord directly the the motherboard. A power brick dangling from a light cheaply-made console isn't really a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
