    I'm looking for a service manual for the Vaio VGN-NS10J. Friend's got one that won't charge anymore after some abuse, though otherwise the laptop worked fine on battery. His sister apparently managed to trip the power lead while it was plugged in, heard something snap and since then it won't charge, so I thought I might pop open the top cover and have a look at the charging port if I can spot anything. From the outside there's no visible damage to the area, the only odd thing is that when you plug in the power lead it wobbles in the charging port, it's not a tight fit. Don't know if that's always been the case.

    Anyway, I had a look around the net but all I've found is a service manual for an older VGN-N series here, same as the one in the sticky in this forum. I could attempt the disassembly just with that, or even without it as I'm only going as far as the top cover, but seeing as it's not my laptop and all I thought it might be worth taking all precautions and seeing if anyone here might know where to get the guide for the NS10J itself? Or am I chasing after something that doesn't exist, and the above linked VGN-N applies to the VGN-NS too?
