How easy is it to replace a palmrest on a Sony Vaio VGN NW series laptop?

The plastic around the AC power port is broken and is hard to recharge. If I get a new palmrest, is it very easy to replace?

    Because this plastic is broken, the charger doesn't sit exactly like it should.

The Sony laptops can be quite tricky to work on, I would suggest having someone that is trained replace it because there is a good chance of breaking something while stripping the unit down.

SOURCE: sony vaio vgn series doesn't turn on no power

You should try another ac adapter.If that does'nt work the power jack where it plugs in may be bad or the power board under the power button is bad.You should try another ac adapter first though.

SOURCE: charging problem in sony vaio VGN-N220E

sounds more like your dc jack(where you insert your plug into the laptop ) is going bad. If you have a multimeter the first thing to test would be your charger to make sure it isnt faulty. If the charger is fine then it is most certainly the dc jack. Replacing the dc jack is best to be left to someone who specializes in that kind of repair but if you know how to solder it may be something that you can do yourself. click here for more info on dc jacks.

SOURCE: Need service manual or instructions on replacing

The hard drive is inside of the laptop and not accessible from the outside. The way to get to the hard drive is to take out all the screws from the bottom of the laptop, take the keyboard out and there may be some screws there that need to be removed. The dvd drive needs to come out and where the dvd drive normally is, check for screws there.

At this point you can remove the top cover assembly and you will see the hard drive. Remove the screws that are holding the hard drive in place and then it will come out.

Testimonial: "Thanks I realize that the unit needed to be seperated however without a service manual there may be some important tips that could be missed."

You ARE using an ESD wrist strap, and have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source, correct?

Otherwise you are going to Static shock your laptop, and can use it for a Doorstop.
(Or conversation piece,
"Hey what's that Stewart?" "Oh that was an attempt to repair an old VAIO I had." )

Average price is around $3 to $6. One example,

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103245

I connect to an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of an open, empty desktop computer case.
You can also set a large metal serving tray (Unpainted), on the TABLE you are working on, and connect to it.
Or a large metal knickknack (Unpainted)

Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you will remove.
Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.
(You can use a clean egg carton if you need to)

SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws.
Advise DO NOT mix them up.
(Especially since there is no free Service Manual)

Let's look at some of the casing parts, to familiarize you,

Get the Sony part number off of the Touchpad, to look up a replacement.

My sony fw21l laptop's power input is broken, the plastic connecting it to the rest of the laptop has broken and as a result it wobbles around and will only charge in certain posistions.
The input jack is just that. It connects to the system board via a cable. The power adapter jack needs to be replaced.

Power socket is loose
dc jack socket for Sony VAIO VGN-FW is very easy to loose, I think you can replace the cabled dc jack, no solder work, plug in and work, see this reference page: http://www.lapdiy.com/sony-vaio-vgnfw-series-power-jack-port-connector-dc-in-cable-p-2647.html
the above item is with ground cable, it is known that sony FW uses both harnesses with or without ground cable, you can cut the ground cable directly if your laptop does not use it, or order from this page for the one without ground cable: http://www.lapdiy.com/sony-vaio-07300012492a-power-jack-port-connector-dc-in-cable-p-2782.html

My sony vaio vgn-fs285e will not switch on since this morning. Even if the AC adapter is plugged-in it still won't come on. None of the lights come on, it won't run with the battery pack or just AC power....
Hi,
To check if the problem is the power adaptor or the Vaio, just have a look at the charger itself and see if the green light on the adaptor itself is on?If yes, then more likely it is working fine. If no light, change the fuse in the plug and try again.
You can also try a static discharge on the Vaio. Please remove all external devices, unplug the adaptor and remove the battery. Put your finger on the power button and hold it for about 30 seconds. Then connect the power adaptor again and try to boot.
Regards,
Purito
