    Ok, so some one stepped on the power cord and broke the connector for the power supply. A friend rigged it to work but with a wiggle sparks were seen and the connector does not work anymore.

    So, I'm trying to fix it the right way. I have taken all the screws that I can see out but at about where the space bar is it looks like there is a screw but the only way I think to unscrew it is to stick a wrench in it.

    Anyone know of a better way to get it open?

    Hi, On PCG-K33 you must take off all screws at bottom case, keyb. lcd screen, palmrest and take off power board... and few screws claimed power supply cable... , the power supply cable is called Power DC jack for SONY K series, you can use as k15 k25 or k33 K45 all work fine, You can get it cheapest on eBay. Good Luck.
