I have a sony vaio laptop that is 3 years old and works perfectly except for the main's connector which is on the motherboard. When I attach the connector cable to the socket on the computer for power the connection is not recognised. Now not working.

And your question was....?

I going to go out on a limb here and assume you are talking about the battery charger. It's either fried ( you did test the wall outlet, right?) or the adapter receptor inside the case has become separated from ICB (solder joint broken because of a yank or someone tripping over the cord). Buy or borrow a simple electrical multimeter and set it to the next setting above the charger's output and make sure it's set on DC, not AC. I can't recall which is positive, the outside or the inside of the charger end nib, so you'll just have to give it a shot, both ways. As long as you don't leave it connected for more than a couple of seconds, you shouldn't damage the multimeter, if you got the polarity wrong. If the needle swings to the bottom of the scale, it's wrong. Check the output from the charger and see if it's correct according to what's stamped on the charger's label. If it is..the charger is ok and it's the terminal inside the case that has the issue. Soldering this, is not for you. It's for a technician, if it can be done at all. If the charger's output isn't as advertised, buy another charger.
