Sony Vaio PCG-GRV516g Power jack broken

[Jonah]

Hi i've done a quick search but can't seem to find an answer so thought i'd look here.
I have a Sony Vaio PCG-GRV515g laptop which has a broken Jack power connector. I've now replaced the laptop with a new one but would like to try and fix the jack if possible. I beliee te Jack is connected directly to the mother board from what i can see but rather than rplace the mother board is it possible to simply buy a new jack and solder it to the mother board. Also is there anywhere i can find a repair manual for this model cheaply as it looks like a krypton factor test to strip it down?

Many thansk in advance

I have the same model of sony vaio and also have problem with power in the motherboard. I`ve tried to get any manual of components but no luck at all. If you have any progress please let me know @ [email protected]

Same problem, got a new jack of Ebay for £2.50. You have to take the MB right out to fit the new one. Easy taking it out if you're careful and patient.
