Hello,
I've tried searching for help on opening up a Sony Vaio PCG-GRV670 laptop case without any success. I'm hoping that someone here may have some pointers or a link that may be of help.
The reason that I need to open up the case is that the power connector socket has apparently broken away from the motherboard. This is evidenced by wiggling the connector with the power cord plugged into it. Doing so, will, on occasion, allow the laptop to boot. Once it is up and running it will work for a while, however, it eventually loses AC power, which, I suspect is due to heat building up at the bad connection, unless you wiggle the connector again.
I've had almost the whole thing apart before, but couldn't get to the underside of the motherboard where I need to solder the connector. I didn't want to break anything, so I put it back together and started searching again.
Hopefully, if I can get the case open, I'll be able to solder the connector and fix it permanently.
Thanks in advance to those who post a reply to the group.
Peter.
