Vaio VPCY11M1E Parts and HELPPPP!!! PLEASE!

[Mymaholo]

Hi,

I am in Desperate need of some help. I am about to go on my third walk, just to get away from it.

Basically, somebody tried to rob my Vaio VPCY11M1E out of my backpack while it was on my back, They did not succeed, but it did however fall, and broke the DC socket side of the laptop.

I was looking for PCG-41112M parts for ages, but have since found out, that is some other number.

The laptop worked fine for a while after, and i had glued the DC socket where it cracked, soon enough, the glue gave away, and now i can't charge the laptop.

Sorry for the long winded post.

I am now trying to open the laptop and it's stuck where the VGA and HDMI ports are, i don't want to force it open.

Is there anywhere i can buy a replacement base for this model? Also, is there a Service manual i can view/Download anywhere.

I have searched everywhere on the internet, and have found one place that sells the base, but WAY to expensive, and they have none in stock.

Here are some pictures of where the DC socket has broken. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP, I NEED A SERVICE MANUAL. Thanks for reading.

Hi Mymaholo,

I’m sorry to say that obtaining genuine spare parts for any Vaio is difficult unless you arrange a repair via one of the Sony repair partners.

As far as I am aware they will not ‘supply only’ parts.

Do you by any chance have home contents insurance that covers items damaged when away from home? Is so the repair cost should be covered by that policy.

Can’t help with a service manual.:smileysad:
