Broken connectors are one of the most common breakdowns of Sony Vaio laptops, especially if they have been heavily used and carried frequently. Careless use can damage any connector: power, USB, audio, HDVI, VGA, memory card slot. In some cases, you can continue to use the laptop - this will only cause certain inconveniences.

But, for example, when it comes to breakage or loosening of the power connector, there is a threat of a short circuit, as a result of which the motherboard can burn out along the power circuits and repairs will be quite expensive.

Often The power plug in Sony Vayo laptops breaks down the inner part, exposing the power contacts of the laptop, you urgently need to fix the problem by replacing the connector with a new one, because 75% of the repair of motherboards falls on this problem.

Most often, replacement of connectors on Sony Vaio laptops is required when laptops are often worn. Repeatedly disconnecting and reattaching the mains cable and other cables will wear out and loose the socket.
Disconnect cables, external devices, flash drives, etc. you need to be very careful, in no case should you pull them out with force, especially if it is not applied at a right angle.
When carrying your laptop, you need to use a special case or bag. In addition, the manufacturer does not recommend putting the laptop down without first disconnecting the power cable, in sleep mode, a mouse, a flash drive, etc.

But if, nevertheless, the trouble happened, do not be upset: Replacing connectors on all Sony Vaio notebook models can be done quickly and are inexpensive to repair.

I wish all readers good health! Today I will show you how to disassemble, clean and repair a Sony Vaio sve151g17v laptop yourself. I'll tell you a secret - this is my home laptop, so today we are cleaning and fixing our faithful friend and just handsome Vaio from Sony. To be honest - in modern Vaio, only the name remains from the progenitors: nowadays it is the China assembly and the case made of thin plastic. It's good that at least there are no children's sores in the form of chips and buttons falling off. In spite of everything, he has been serving faithfully for 4 years already.

For 4 years of operation, the laptop has never understood and today will be its first time. Meet - repair of a laptop Sony Vaio sve151g17v in a white case.

Actually, why did I decide to take it apart? It's simple - it began to freeze and slow down - then I realized that cleaning the cooling system could not be avoided. Well, let's start. First, remove the battery and unscrew the screws securing the RAM and hard drive covers.

We remove the VGP-BPS26 4000 mAh battery. I must say that she still pleases with a couple of hours of offline video viewing. When he was still young, this time boldly approached 4 o'clock. Eh, years, years. But in general, over 4 years the result is impressive.

Next, you need to remove the hard drive. To do this, you need to unscrew one small screw and move it to the left, as seen in the photo.

After that, you can safely proceed to unscrewing the screws, but I decided to remove the keyboard just in case. To do this, you need to pry it around the perimeter with a scalpel or knife, unhooking the latches.

Then lift the keyboard, but without fanaticism and without shouting "urrraaa" with raising the object of conquest upward. The keyboard is attached to the motherboard of a Sony Vaio sve151g17v laptop with a ribbon cable. Here it also needs to be removed. To do this, slide the retainer up and pull out the ribbon cable.

After the victorious rise of the keyboard, I freed up two more connectors, although all this to clean the fan need not be done. But if you are going to remove the motherboard, then you must do it.

We can already see the dusty impeller of the processor cooling fan and the video chip of the Sony Vaio laptop.

It's time to stretch your wrists and tighten the screws. Feel free to unscrew all the screws that you see - just remember where the screws were longer and shorter.

As a result, we snap off the latches around the perimeter - they are visible in the photo - and lift the bottom cover of the Sony Vaio laptop.

Immediately we see dust flakes next to the SD memory card slot.

To remove the Sony Vaio sve151 air cooling system, you need to carefully unscrew the screws that secure it. What does neat mean? Just unscrew all the screws half a turn crosswise - you definitely won't be mistaken and do not chip the processor or video chip case. Remember to disconnect the fan power connector.

This is how the motherboard should look like with the cooler removed.

All this dust on the motherboard must be removed with compressed air, a tissue or a brush.

This is what the cooling system looks like taken from a Sony Vaio sve151 laptop. Dried thermal grease and dust are visible on the fan.

In a different perspective, the reason for the processor overheating is clearly visible - a radiator clogged with fine dust

The distance between the lamellas of the radiator is very small and therefore the dust cokes well.

Remove the fan by unscrewing three screws for easy cleaning.

I decided to wash the radiator with a cooling tube under running water with a brush and soapy water. Everything cleared up very well. True, I had to wait until the water dries up - I put it on the battery.

With a fan, I had to go out onto the balcony and in the fresh air scatter all the accumulated dust with a brush. Here's how it turned out in the end.

Now let's get down to repairs - let's update the thermal paste on the video chip and laptop processor. Wipe off the old paste with a napkin moistened with alcohol.

After that, we apply no less than no less thermal paste to the center of the mirror surface of the chip.

We do the same with the processor.

There are recommendations for smearing a thin layer of thermal paste using a credit card. This can also be done ... But for some time now I stopped suffering from this, relying on the freshness and fluidity of thermal paste under the pressure of the radiator. As practice shows, this method works well even with scratched radiators.

I use thermal paste KPT-8 in a branded tube made according to GOST.

According to the manufacturer, its thermal conductivity is about 1 W / m deg. It seems to be a good indicator, although here overclockers write that foreign pastes will be better.

Let's start repairing another breakdown found in the process of disassembling a Sony Vaio laptop. The fact is that when you open the lid of the laptop, a load appears on the plastic in the area of the display hinges. Over time, it cracks and breaks.

So it happened with me - the part of the case, which holds the screw head in the bottom cover, cracked.

Epoxy, baking soda superglue, or cold welding is often used to repair this mechanical failure. I settled on the first option, which was at hand. For some time now I always keep an epoxy like "POWER" or "Second" at home. It costs cheap, dries very quickly and is conveniently dosed for minor repairs.

Another advantage is its transparency and invisibility at the gluing points. It sticks to plastic well enough, especially if it is matte, that is, rough.

To repair a laptop, you need to mix a certain amount of epoxy resin components in a 1 to 1 ratio on any piece of paper or cardboard that comes along.Then mix the components until you are completely exhausted and apply the mixture to the gluing site using the remaining strength.

Here's how I did it.

We lean on top and press the second part. For greater strength, it is advised to squeeze the two parts to be glued.

After drying, I again smeared the resulting compound on top with a thick layer of epoxy. It worked out pretty well.

After disassembling and cleaning, the repair of the Sony Vaio laptop is completed. Then proceed with the assembly in the reverse order. Do not forget to tuck the loops into place.

The refurbished laptop continues to delight with its stable operation, pleasant mother-of-pearl and soft buttons. These are the buttons that I knock on these lines. Good luck to everyone in the repairs. With you was the Solder Master and Sony Vaio.

Sony's VAIO series notebooks are not cheap, but they are quite reliable. When using Sony notebooks, you must adhere to the general guidelines for using them. It should be borne in mind that laptops overheat if kept on a soft surface, due to which performance drops and some components may be damaged.

You should also be aware that due to a fairly reliable design, VAIO laptops often need to be replaced with a replacement power connector. The thing is that the power connector in laptops of this series is located in the corner of the case, and is easily damaged if the installation is unsuccessful for the laptop to work. Sony laptop repair in the event of a breakdown of the power connector, it can be carried out in several directions, depending on the severity of the damage, the easiest of which is the separation of the connector from the motherboard along with all the tracks, and the most difficult is a crack in the motherboard at the attachment point. Sometimes a whole part of the motherboard comes off.

Complicating repairs is the fact that a number of VAIO models are equipped with very compact motherboards, which leads to a high density of components. In this regard, the repair or replacement of the BGA microcircuit is indicative. To replace it, it must be heated to the minimum melting point of the solder. In the process of this operation, the microcircuit itself is heated, and all the components located next to it. An operation of such complexity, carried out by an insufficiently qualified specialist, can lead to additional breakdowns, which will certainly affect the duration and cost of repairs. So sony vaio laptop repair must be carried out by a qualified technician and equipment of the appropriate level.

Visually, a malfunction of the power connector can manifest itself in different ways. So, the laptop may not turn on every time or not turn on at all, turn off when working with some applications that require additional power.

Malfunctions of the south bridge of the motherboard are common. They are indicated by the inadequate operation of the keyboard, touchpad and USB ports. If the laptop often freezes, turns off, or spontaneously reboots, the drilled bridge is likely to break. Most often, in such cases, the replacement of a non-working microcircuit is required, made using specialized equipment.

This time I got my hands on a SONY VAIO laptop, if I'm not mistaken, my first experience in disassembling laptops was just connected with the sony vaio (although it may have been the second laptop), though of a different model. Okay, more to the point.

Photo of the laptop SONY vaio VPCEH2J1R (PCG-71812V):

The first thing we do before disassembling is to disconnect the laptop from the network and remove the battery:

We unscrew two screws to get to the hard drive (hard disk):

And we see a hard drive in front of us in an iron "shell", which holds it in place (not counting the interface). We unscrew one screw:

Pull the transparent tongue of the hard drive to the left side, thereby disconnecting it from the motherboard:

We take out the hard drive and put it aside. Unscrew the screw that holds the drive:

We take out the drive by simply pulling it and put it aside in the same way:

We unscrew the screw of the cover that closes the RAM (in principle, you can not remove this cover):

The screw is there with a washer that holds it at the base of the lid itself, so it rises:

Thus, it is easier to remove it, now we have access to the RAM:

By the way, the lid that covers the RAM has a protective “barrier” that helps to let in less dust:

Unscrew all the other bolts from the back cover of the laptop:

We remove the cover (there are latches there, but everything is removed easily and simply):

Carefully unscrew the 7 screws of the cooling system, and in the reverse order of the numbers, that is, starting with the seven and ending with one (the numbers are signed on the mounts, 7 - the chipset, 5-6 - the video card processor and 1-4 - the processor).

Carefully remove the cooling system and disconnect the fan from the motherboard:

Disconnect the fan from the radiator by unscrewing three screws:

Let's take another look at the horrors (dust) of the radiator:

Well, we clean it accordingly:

We clean the radiators from the old thermal paste, only the processor and video card, there is a gasket for the chipset:

We clean the processor and video card processor from the old thermal paste:

Apply a thin layer of new thermal grease to the processor and video card processor:

Putting everything together in the reverse order, only the cooling system is already fastened with screws in ascending order (from 1 to 7).

We enjoy the quiet operation of the fan when the laptop is running in the OS without a heavy load 🙂

Do not forget that incompetent intervention in a malfunctioning computer or laptop can have a much destructive effect than the malfunction itself.

The advantage of a laptop is mobility, therefore, when the battery is not charged on a Sony Vaio laptop, a feeling of discomfort appears. In this case, the device loses its significance and is no different from an ordinary stationary PC.

The main reasons why the battery does not charge on a Sony Vaio laptop:

Broken power supply or cord;
Defective power socket;
Driver error;
BIOS error;
The power controller is out of order;
Battery wear;

It is quite difficult to identify such a malfunction on a laptop. Of course, if the effects of mechanical damage are visible on the device: cracks, scratches, dents, then everything is obvious. Pay attention to the shape of the block. If it is swollen, then using the block is not recommended. In case of careless operation and transportation, the wire of the device may break. Where the breakdown occurred is difficult to find out at home. If the problem lies in the unit, then the charger can be replaced with a new one and the root cause of the battery not being charged is exhausted.

The reason that the battery does not charge is a breakdown of the power socket. In this case, you can independently determine whether this is so. Signs of nest breakage:

the plug is loosely fixed in the power socket;
the central leg moves if you move it, but the plug holds well in the connector;
there is no visible damage, but the battery of the Sony Vaio laptop does not charge, the connection indicator does not light up;
Service personnel advise against using the device if the power connector is broken. This will damage other components.

An error in the operation of the driver for the battery is also among the possible reasons that the battery on the laptop does not charge. Usually, the indication is not visible while the device is charging. This problem is corrected with a specialized program that automatically checks the driver program.

A delicate problem that interferes with the normal operation of the Sony Vaio device and the fact that it does not charge is the incorrect operation of the BIOS program. This applies to those cases when they try to solve the breakdown on their own. The result of the failure of the BIOS is striking, because the device may not turn on at all or the system time will be reset. The breakdown belongs to a number of serious ones, so it is important to take the laptop to the Service Center.

A manifestation of this failure is the lack of display on the Sony Vaio laptop. A similar failure manifests itself as follows: after connecting the adapter to the laptop, charging does not take place.

A common cause of failure is the battery has expired. On a Sony Vaio laptop, the battery can withstand 800 charge cycles. That is, it is provided for 2 years, after wear, the part must be replaced. The battery life is 2-3 years. After each charging process, the capacity decreases. For one year, the capacity becomes less than 15-20%. The battery belongs to the consumable parts of the laptop, so this outcome is predictable.

If, on a Sony Vaio laptop, the battery does not charge, then it is important to fix the problem as soon as possible. In a specialized Sony service center, diagnostics are guaranteed on the day of contact. During the repair process, only high-quality consumables, spare parts and professional equipment are used.

Regardless of the reason why you need to urgently replace the power connector on your Sony VAIO laptop, our professional craftsmen will do everything you need in the best possible way. It is meant that if you contact our authorized Sony Telemama service center, you will definitely be satisfied with the level of service.

We constantly carry out high-quality repairs of equipment with original spare parts, and then we definitely give a one-year warranty on them.

The laptop breakdown in question occurs most often because:

The connector breaks down after some kind of mechanical damage, for example, drops, strong shocks. The socket loosens, breaks off, breaks out by the user (through carelessness, of course) and it is urgent to change it to the original analogue (look for the price of the components in the price list);
If your laptop does not charge, then it is likely that the problem lies not with the connector, but with the power circuit. After free computer diagnostics, a real provocateur of incorrect behavior of equipment will be detected with one hundred percent accuracy.

What to do to avoid such breakdowns?

According to our observations, the power socket fails most often after mechanical damage. If you notice that the device does not charge well, then do not try to figure out the problem at home (this is unlikely to help), but immediately go to the service center.

Sony Vaio PCG-61611L laptop does not turn on
Good day! The problem is this .. Laptop (Sony Vaio PCG-61611L) when.

Sony Vaio PCG-81112M (MBX-235) - Does not turn on from PSU
Hello everyone. Sony vaio pcg 81112m laptop, worked fine all of a sudden.

Sony VAIO VGN-TZ3RXN model PCG-4N4P does not turn on
Good day to all! I have a question: I bought myself a used laptop.

HDD in Sony Vaio PCG-71211V
I duplicate the topic from the hard drives section.

1. this is sarcasm if you do not understand. and it has nothing to do with it, but the choice of pasta already shows specialization ..
2. A break through a loop is a break. check the white ribbon for licking the contacts. textolite is less susceptible to this.
3. to measure on mosfets and coils. on the button on the presence of 3.3v.

I advise you not to go into it further and take it to the service (just not to repair cell phones / shoes, etc.) - there is a similar one - it is waiting for the mood and time to dig it .. after the cleaner .. only 80 veins to the trash can and a couple more loops .. the toad strangles to order them for almost 2k.

First, a couple of useful links:

one of the topics where it says that the model name was changed from PCG-71812V to VPCEH2J1R in the Sony community
driver page on Sony support page

a pair of Phillips screwdrivers: small and slightly larger,
plastic card or guitar pick,
a free table so that you can place the laptop and carefully lay out the bolts (I lay them around the laptop next to the place where they were unscrewed, the bolts of even one device can vary in length and shape, so it's better not to confuse them)
I advise you to immediately stock up on new thermal paste, since you still disassemble the laptop, and in order not to do it twice, it will not be superfluous to update the thermal paste for better processor cooling.

Now, to actually disassemble the device:

remove the battery,
unscrew the cover of the hard drive and it (for this you need to move it to the side),
unscrew the laser disc drive.(the bolt fixing the drive is shorter than the others, so I advise you to put it aside with the drive) and take out the drive,
it is not necessary to remove the cover of the RAM, it is kept on the bottom of the case and does not affect disassembly,
unscrew all the bolts,
gently unscrew the latches from above and below with a screwdriver (after that, the lower part of the laptop case was removed easily), you may have to pry the case a little to unlock all the latches. It is advisable to pry with something plastic so as not to damage the case, for example, a plastic card (you should not take a bank card, it will be a shame if you break it) or a mediator,
disconnect the cooling system,
we clean the cooling system from dust and, if necessary, you can change the thermal paste,
we clean the radiator and fan from dust and everything that is heavily clogged with dust,
collect everything in reverse order.
