Sony Laptop Inverters.

Double Inverters.

There are some inverters out there which are almost impossible to obtain, for example one case we had here at Laptech left us “GOB SMACKED” at the fact that no matter how hard we tried to locate this part, even looking all over the world for it, no one could seem to find it, or know where to get one. Of course this was a Sony part and yes, some Sony parts are very hard to obtain, without going to Sony themselves, and we all know how hard and expensive that is.

This particular inverter was for a Sony PCG-GRT996ZP, and the part number for this inverter was; Sony D2026-B001-P1-0, however this was not necessarily the correct one because when trying to order it; every supplier sent the wrong inverter but with the same, or very similar part number. This left us most frustrated to say the least.

This inverter was, what we would call, a double inverter, it is double the thickness of a standard one and more specifically on the right hand side it had two connectors for two separate backlight leads. The reason for this is with the Sony GRT series, there are three separate inverters for these laptops, and the one we were after was for a black onyx screen, which had two separate backlights, hence why there were two connectors on the inverter, it powered two backlights. This is not very common with laptops, even with black onyx screens, and this is why it was so hard to get hold of one.

In the end we were ready to give up, thinking that we would never source one, but then we did manage to locate the correct inverter.

The moral to this story is, like at Laptech, anything is possible if you just take the time and effort to look as hard as you possible can.
