Toshiba Sat Pro Power

centium · 07-15-2008, 03:59 AM

Does anyone know of a cheap way of getting my power socket replaced on my Toshiba Sat Pro without having to return it to Toshiba? my laptop power input socket burned out one week after my warranty expired! I have been quoted £200 for fitting a replacement socket by a couple of local laptop repair shops but I thought that was a bit steep to be honest! especially as that part costs £1.35 and I can't fit it myself in case I damage the motherboard!

If you can find somebody who's decent at soldering, you should be able to find a replacement socket for reasonably cheap. If it's anything like my Satellite Pro is (460-480cdt), it's generic connector that you could probably find in almost any electronics parts store.

post the model and part # on the bottom of the laptop and I can tell ya what to look for and maybe even how to replace it yourself.
