Sony vaio palmrest dead - IBM PALMREST W/O TOUCHPAD 91P8399

The Sony laptops can be quite tricky to work on, I would suggest having someone that is trained replace it because there is a good chance of breaking something while stripping the unit down.

LOL, the hard drive is probably located under the Keyboard or the palmrest. Sony was known for putting it under the keyboard or palmrest on older models.

I have never seen this beforeis it the symbol on the back or the palmrest.Anyway the only way to get rid of this is to replace the monitor.

Sony makes getting a keyboard off it laptop like trying to launch a shuttle craft. Take the three screws out on the bottom, Push in the two detent tabs at the top of the keyboard, the hold it in place when on the palmrest. They are located at F5 and Num Lock keys. Now take a thin skewer or wire and push through where the screws were, this will release the keyboard. Now slide the keyboard toward the screen and that releases the lower detents that hold it at the lower part of the palmrest....nor unplug the cable and you are good to go. Oh, by the way below is the link to the service manual for your laptop....it has it fully illustrated.....

Unfortunately hinges are not repairable, so:

Buy hinges from here and replace them.

Unfortunately i can't find any service manual for TR1MP, so you should sort it out how to do it.

I just can say that you will need to remove palmrest, screen bezel, lcd screen to get access to hinges.

the cmos battery is under the palm rest of the viao....requires you to take off the keyboard and undo 2 screws holding the palmrest on....slide the palmrest off....battery is plugged into the touchpad circuit board

Hello

I would not suggest yo uto luricate the fan but if yo want to, you will have to take palmrest off, first of all you will to take keyboard off to do so there are two screws on each side of battery take those screws off and then in battery compartment you will see two black plastic Knotch push those back one by one and keyboard will come off now unplug two flex cables one for power board and one for mouse pad also unplug the speaker wires on left hand side now take all the screws on top of palmrest and then close the lid and flip laptop over and take all the screws of n bottom and your palrest will come off and you can see the fan.

Thankyou

usually there are screws coming upward from the bottom to remove the keyboard,then you have to remove the palmrest which the touchpad is integrated into.
