Trying to open the back of a sony vaio pcg laptop

Turn laptop over and remove screws from HDD compartment door.. Remove screws holding HDD in place and remove.

PCG-7Q1L is the Chassis number.

VGN-FJxxx should be the model number.

Ummm, VGN-FJ350

There is a semi-metallic rubber band, holding the DVD drive from the inside, and.............





NO! I'M JUST KIDDING!



It's a little green Martian man, tugging back from the other side.



After you remove the Philips head screw, tap the DVD drive's tray release button.
Ease the tray all the way out to the extended position, and then gently pull on it.
Pull DVD drive out of laptop.

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

From experience a lot of these things are designed the same, that's why they have a root key.

This guide should be a general fix for all PCG in Sony's Vaio.

It's not going to be completely exact, but it should be next to exact with how you take it apart. Screws should be the same, panels, and such on so fourth.

I hope this helps.

See if you can find a bottom case and lcd hinges on ebay.

Just put in your computer's make and model in the search box.

Example: Sony Vaio PCG-61411W bottom case or Sony Vaio PCG-61411W Lcd Hinges

Remove the Power Cord and the Battery. Turn the laptop over and start removing screws from the bottom of it. There might be screws on the bottom that hold the keyboard, normally they will have the keyboard icon by them. Once you have the screws removed Look inside the battery case to remove any screws. Sometimes there will be screws that hold the keyboard and the strip that is above the keyboard inside the battery case.

Next turn the laptop back over and open the lcd lid. Remove the strip that is above the keyboard. Be careful because there might be a cable attached to the bottom of the strip. Once the strip is removed there might be screws that it was hiding that hold the keyboard so remove them. Now you can lift the keyboard out, but be careful because there is a cable attached to the back of the keyboard.

It is a button battery under the keyboard. Just be careful not to break the battery holder.

You need to locate screws below you laptop, the keyboard was ajusted by some screws(2-4), Vaio do this in almost all models. Detach your screws and your kb will be removed.

The hard drive is hidden inside, and you have to take the palm rest off to get to it. Take the srews at the bottom out, take the keyboard off and replace the screws underneath. then pry off the palm rest. There are Laptop Repair Guides that show how to open a Laptop. Watch out for the ribbon cables, those tear easily. Replacement parts are usually available on Ebay. There are third party services that can do it for you, like Sony Repair NYC.
