Journey to the Center of the Sony Vaio

[CubanCorona]

I love my Vaio PCG-R505, but recently the power socket has been acting up. I have to jiggle the cable around a bit in order to get it to work. I'd like to open up the case and look for the problem, but I haven't been able to find any disassembly guides for this particular model. Can someone point me in the right direction? Has anyone else had similar problems that they?ve been able to successfully resolve?

Hmmmm, I've worked on a few of these at work, but don't remember all the little details. There are probably some screws, possibly hidden under the feet.

Sony is a real pain when it comes to finding this info out.

I had to replace the hard drive of a Z505 and it took a lot of searching the net to find the info.

One guide that might help is here, it is for a Z505 but it might give you a start.

Another good resource is this Sony Yahoo Group.

Good luck.
