Sony Vaio VGN-CS118E DC Power Jack Repair

SONY VGN-CS118E DC Jack Repair

This sony VGN-CS118E laptop came in with a broken power plug.  On most Sony notebooks the small plastic circular barrel is missing and the two ground wires are exposed.  This means the dc jack will need to be replaced. 
The CS118E needs to be almost completely taken apart to access the dc jack.  It uses a cable style connection with a dc jack soldered on the end.  We just de-solder the old broken tip and re-use the cable.  This is a very effective way to do it and let's us repair the jack for $65 instead of $85+.
If soldering isn't an option you could replace the entire cable style jack.  Once the jack is replaced the laptop is working like new again!
