Greetings,
when the DC jack on my Sony Vaio FXA32 broke, I got the motherboard out
and soldered in a new jack. Put the MB back into the case, plugged it
in, attached the LCD, and it POSTed. Happily I re-assembled the laptop,
only to find that in order for the adapter to power the laptop, I had
to push it in and hold it tight. After a while that stopped working,
too.
The unit runs fine off the battery, so I haven't fried anything. But
how do I find out what the problem is now? Is it the replacement jack,
or the way it's been soldered in? It looked fairly straightforward, and
the fix did work the first time...
Thanks,
