Sony Vaio DC Jack & Power Socket Restoration
The DC charging port is the most stressed mechanical component on your laptop. Every time you plug in your AC adapter, the solder joints holding that port to the motherboard are subjected to physical leverage. Over time, these joints can crack, leading to intermittent charging, excessive heat, or even a total power failure. At Atlantis, we offer a specialised Sony Vaio DC repair for a fixed fee of £80.00. Our specialists focus on the Power Integrity of your device, using advanced micro-soldering to ensure a stable, safe connection that lasts for years.
Meet Your Atlantis Technician
DC jack repair is about more than just a part swap; it's about structural reinforcement. In many Sony Vaio models, the power socket is either soldered directly to the mainboard or connected via a delicate harness. If a port is loose, it creates "arcing"—tiny sparks that can scorch the motherboard. My role in the Canterbury lab is to surgically remove the old, oxidised solder and replace the port with an OEM-spec unit. I use reinforced solder anchors to ensure the new jack can handle the daily strain of being plugged in. Whether you're in Kent or using our UK-wide service, I treat every board with the precision required to prevent future laptop mainboard repairs.
Process & Protection
Our power restoration process begins with a full teardown and inspection under high-powered microscopes. We check for "carbon tracks"—residue left behind by electricity jumping across a loose connection. Once the new port is installed, we perform a load-test to ensure stable voltage delivery to the battery. Every repair is backed by a 1-year return-to-base warranty. If we find that your display has also been impacted by power issues, we can offer combined Sony Vaio screen repairs. In the rare case that the motherboard is too damaged to repair, we charge only a small £15 inspection fee.
