Had a really shit day today and now i get this...

[Cold Snail]

I've done a couple of powerjacks on laptops, so I would keep it and spend six quid on a new socket.

[fossie]

Can't be arsed with it, just collecting dust , wouldn't read the CD's , because of some program was......... woteva .
No good as a door stop ,
At the end of the day 6 quid to you 'cos you know where to go , I don't know where or what to ask for , then if it got power I'd have to wipe it clean and re install , Sharp sticks and eyes comes to mind!!

power socket repair is piece of cake fossie. tut tut. A man of your skills and all that.

I have just sold a couple of my sisters old Sony laptops. One had water spilt all over it. And the other had a dodgy graphics chip (common prob). Not worth repairing. Flogged em both for about 50 quid each Both buy it now's. And both of em went within half an hour of putting em on ebay Took both of the hard drives out as well. Dont want some wanker reading where i get my porn from !!!

m8 of mine had one of those... sent it back to sony and they repaired it under warranty. there was a recall on quite a few a couple of years ago and the info was still on their website if i recall

Yeah, did check that out Steve. Was a while back and these ones were not covered.

Cheers anyway.

Daughter had a Sony Vaioueiuooo or something like that.

Was never the same after she left a set of Hair Straighteners** on it. It survived the first couple of episodes but eventualy the keys welded together were just too much.












** Now I had to do some research on this for my benefit, and probably for you as well Pete. Hair Straighteners, some times known as GHD's are a sort of double sided iron for styling your hair.

I'll just stick with Gillette............
