Here’s another source for older Sony Vaio PCG series laptops and notebooks. I have a sony VGN-FS790 aka PCG-7D1L it doen’t work anymore due to a burnt/blown capacitos(rectangular tan-ish color) The blown capaciton is located below the heatsink I’ve maganed to de-solder it and am looking for a ceramic capacitor to replace it. In the area when it is located there are 2 other capacitors to the left of it, if laptop is on table with battery location downward and cd/dvd burner to the left Numbers below this capacitor are PQ49 thou they do not goto this cap they’re just written right below it.To the left of this capacitor is two more capacitors like it and a black chip with this writing to left of that AF5AL FDS 6680A. What I need and would like some info on is the value of the capacitor so that I can purchase a replacement to solder it on and fix this sony laptop.

Has anyone dealt with this type of issue? Does anyone have a service manual with laptop motherboard schematics? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have a Sony VAIO VGNFS-790 that is having problems. The “power” light is on, but the screen isnt. It doesnt even boot up or make noises, like it is completely dead. Crack Do Xpand Rally Xtreme there.

When I unplug the charger, the “battery on” light turns on, and the “power” light stays on too. However, when I plug the charger into the computer to charge it, the “charging” light doesnt come on, or blink like it should, but the light on the charger box is green, meaning it is working fine. Any info would help.
