    Ah, I hoped this day would never come, but unfortunately it's happening as I speak. Couple of days ago my DC port started feeling really lose, and I would have to plug it in in a certain way for it to charge. The charging port is INSANELY HOT I almost burned my hand, and I really ought to stop using it until my replacement part arrives. I bought myself one of these and I'm hoping if anyone have any cautions or tips before I start replacing it. Looks like I have to disassemble the entire unit for this. Thanks all

    I have another question for VGN-Z users. Do we share the same DC harness with VPCZ-1 models? They look EXACTLY the same to me and also are listed compatible with both.
