I have an ASUS VivoBook 16X (M1603QA). The DC charging port is loose and only makes contact at a specific angle, so it needs to be replaced.

A local technician checked it and quoted ₹1,200 for replacing the jack. Since it’s soldered directly to the motherboard, the board has to be removed for the repair.

He also noticed that my S key is not working properly — actually, it’s not just the S key; the = key also works only sometimes and fails most of the time. Right now, I’m using AHK key remapping, which works fine for me, but he advised replacing the keyboard instead.

According to him, one key may be shorted, and over time this could cause other keys to stop working as well. He only mentioned this as advice.

I have two questions:

1. Is ₹1,200 a fair price in India for a motherboard-out soldering job for a DC jack, or is that on the higher side?
2. Is his claim about the keyboard true? If so, roughly how much would a keyboard replacement cost?

The charging port (DC jack) on my ASUS VivoBook 16X (M1603QA) is loose, and it only charges when I hold the cable at a particular angle. I’m looking to get it repaired.

A home-visit technician checked it and quoted ₹1,200 for replacement, mentioning that the jack is soldered directly to the motherboard. I wanted to ask whether ₹1,200 is a normal rate for a home visit, or if the repair might cost around ₹800–₹900 if I take it directly to a shop.

If anyone knows the usual cost for this kind of repair, please let me know.

Also, could you recommend any reliable and skilled laptop repair shops in Vijayawada where I can visit in person?

I’m facing an issue while trying to fill out the Infosys survey form. Every time I click Submit, I get this error:

>

The strange thing is that I double-checked all the files I uploaded, and each one is well under 2MB. I also tried uploading the same image multiple times in different sizes, even under 100KB, but the problem still happens.

What I noticed is that when I click Submit, the image seems like it was not uploaded properly. I tried around 10–15 times, but the same issue keeps coming up.

I also tested it on different browsers, but the error still appears.

Has anyone faced this issue before? Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.
