Anyone have Sony VAIO Service Manuals?

[tfflivemb2]

I am working on replacing the power jack on a Sony VAIO PCG-FX310.

Does anyone know where to get the HMM, or service manual?

I'm sure that I can get to the jack, but I would like a manual, to play it safe.

I went through this a while back, never could find any "real" maintenance type manuals or HMM equivalent on the sony site.

I am working on replacing the power jack on a Sony VAIO PFG-FX310.

Is that PFG or PCG? I've found some hits with PCG-FX310, but none with PFG-FX310.

Yes, it was PCG, my mistake. I saw a few on eBay, but I was hoping that someone had one....just like people try to sell the HMM for Thinkpads, when they are readily available.

@tfflivemb2,

I tried this link http://esupport.sony.com/perl/model-doc ... l=PCGFX310

but it says \"The documentation server is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later.\"

You can try this link later...

I've never seen an online HMM for a Sony like we have for ThinkPads. The two hardcopy maintenance manuals I own - for the C1 and old 505 model line - are basically parts lists with exploded views of various areas. Very little text, and no diagnostic info. Once you know what their people have to work from, you understand why their techs are infamous.
