sony vaio broken headphone socket Help!

[norbie.k]

Just resaved my laptop back from repairing. I had broken right headphone (the jack socket) in the shop one of the staff member informed me that the jack socket is the most expensive part of the laptop and to reaper that will cost me around £400. His advice was to buy in Argos separate docket with audio socket. I’m really disappointed that Sony service can’t reaper it as the part of warranty. And on top of that after the service checking my left and right headphone is not working. It’s so unfair  that after service I’ve got my laptop in worse shape I’ve given it to repair. I don’t really know what should I do now I’m using my laptop just for films and music and without headphone socket laptop is just a piece of junk. Any useful suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Hi

well i went to sony shop and they told me it will cost around £400

is the SONY VAIO VPCEJ model numbet UPCEJICSE

Hmmm ok, sounds a little fishy to me. The VPCEJ shares most of its parts with a VPCEA series laptop, except the motherboard, and I know a repair for one of those audio sockets should be around £100 maximum, if not less.

Have a look around! Find a repairer who specialise's in Sony Vaios.

Hi there,

That seems quite excessive!! Which laptop model is that?

Generally on Sony Vaio's, especially the newer vaio's, the audio sockets are on a seperate audio board and these cost nowhere near that value.

When taking it into a repairer, just make sure they know what they are doing with Sony Vaio laptops, otherwise they will have trouble getting a hold of the parts and charge you a fortune.

If you can tell me your model, I'll let you know how much you should be paying for a repair.
