Sony Vaio pin in "DC In" outlet bent, can't power up

Blumengarten · 11-27-2007, 02:13 PM

Hi Everyone!

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-932A. The pin inside the "DC IN" hole is bent, and now it won't power up. I think my toddler had tried to stick something in that hole. I tried to straighten it myself, but that didn't work. Is there something I can do to power up my computer?

Thanks,
Blumengarten

The jack will have to be replaced. Not sure how hard it is with this model.

Oh thanks, it's called a "jack"! Could you recommend a good website where I could find instructions? I'm amenable to doing it myself if you think it might be something a moderately-tech-savvy person would be able to do. I've done some minor repairs, like replacing hard drives.

Thanks.
