When I did and put the laptop back together there is no video. I have retraced my steps twice over but still do not know what is wrong. Thanks for any help.

However, I have a sony PCG-GRT995MP - do you know are your instructions for replacing the broken power jack for the PCG-K the same/similar for my machine ? Would really appreciate some guidance before I attempt to dissemble my laptop to repair the power jack.
