sewbr0 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 have any of you ever had to replace one? my dog just chewed mine up. the problem im facing, is my sony vaio has 2 model numbers on it. one it actualy on the pc, and the other is on a sticker on the back. im having a hard time trying to find a power cord which will be compatible with both models. the actual info on the back reads "model PCG-61111L" while the sticker reads " Model Name: VPC-CW1PFX/U" anyone?

Guest eriathomas Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Go with which ever model number is on the power cord itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewbr0 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 the power cord model is VGP-AC19V35 and i found one that is VGP-AC19V10 but it says its compatible with mine, does that make sense even though the last two numbers are different?

Guest eriathomas Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Same Amp/Watts? It shouldn't be a problem if it's all the same. Check newegg.com out, I think you can find you exact laptop and it should give you a list of stuff you can use on it. It looks like amazon is selling it for about $20ppd.

alex13 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 if the end connector is okay, you can mail it to me and I can splice the wiring to repair the cord. I won't charge you...just pay for shipping. I've been fixing computers since 96 and disassembling laptops since about 01. Go with the laptop model and voltage input to match a replacement.

You may be able to help with this question. How easy is it to replace the spot on the laptop that the cord plugs into? I don't know the technical term...the jack, maybe? The one on my laptop has gone bad, as we determined after buying a new power cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Not very easy, since the inside of a laptop is one solid piece, you can't just replace the PSU like in a PC. I'm not sure how hard it's be to solder one in or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the technical term...the jack, maybe? The one on my laptop has gone bad, as we determined after buying a new power cord. That requires resoldering the actual jack. I've (successfully) done it a couple times. Sometimes it's very simple (soldering a broken joint) and other times the actual circuit board is toast. If you know how to turn a screw driver, are careful and methodical, and know how to use a good soldering iron then I believe anyone can do it.
