Sony Vaio laptop won't charge

me4bargains

Hi,
My partner's sony Vaio laptop won;t charge.
It's just over a year old and has been hardly used until the last few weeks.
I have a spare charger and tried that to no avail.
It's completely dead now.
Would the battery need changing already?

Hi,

Its unlikely to be the battery that's the problem.

The laptop should work without a battery from only the laptop adapter in most cases.

As you have tried another charger & that didn't work, it could be that the main connector on the laptop needs repair.

Seeing as its over a year old, I assume you might be out of warranty, unless you had purchased an extended warranty of which case you can get it fixed by Sony.

I don't think took out extended warranty.
just before the battery ran out i noticed the headphone socket wasnt working.
how much do you think the repair would cost roughly?
thanks

I charge £30 but then apparently according to the forum I'm very cheap. I've seen someone on Ebay charging £35 plus return shipping.
