Hi I am also having problems accessing and repacing the power jack for this laptop. I removed the fan and speaker but it is encased in a plastic surround that does not budge or have any screws visible. Any info or diagrams that anyone knows about ould be great. Excellent guide. Unfortunately 2 wks down the line and GPU failed again.
Obviously pushed the laptop to its limit by running Furmark benchmarks almost 3 times daily and reaching 85c max! Steps followed: 1 Cleaned GPU with arctic clean 2 refluxed it with liquid flux 3 Used heatgun for 50 secs at c to melt the solder in conjuction with the liquid flux 4 Applied thermal paste and put heatsink and laptop back together.
Great instructions!!! I used these directions to take my VGN-NR apart for a wireless switch on the front of the notebook that was not working. Thanks for the assistance!!! The CMOS battery is in my case bright green in color and a little smaller than two dimes though thicker. This is NOT on the side shown in step So after step 17, keep working as mentioned by others, if you want to reset the bios.
Got a ton of files to give back to my friend, the owner of the laptop. I disconnected the tiny white connector from the usb board to the motherboard, and freed some cables here and there. By reassembly time, I found the usb board connector had slipped off the wires. Rather than guess at the wiring, I just left the 2-port USB board disconnected but still in place — small loss. I was able to unplug and replug the white connector from the CMOS battery without fully releasing the motherboard from the chassis.
On reconnect, I also noticed the blue ribbon had become disconnected see step 8 picture. I flipped up the connector and reinserted the ribbon cable, just before I inserted keyboard again. I have a few more pictures, including one showing cmos battery. If author would like them, please contact me you have my email from the post , and you can add them if you like.
