Remove three (or more) screws from the top of the keyboard. It is not necessary to disconnect the keyboard bezel from the motherboard in order to remove and replace the keyboard, just put it aside so you can access the keyboard screws. If you accidentally pulled the cable, connect it back.

Continue releasing plastic latches and removing the keyboard bezel with your fingers.īe careful, on some models the bezel might be connected to the motherboard as it shown on the picture above.

Insert a small flathead screwdriver under the keyboard bezel and carefully lift it up. Should be similar for some other Sony notebooks too. I took these pictures from a Sony Vaio PCG-K33 (model PCG-9S1L) notebook. – if you damage the keyboard connector on the motherboard you’ll have to replace the whole motherboard. – always remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before you open the laptop case. – if your laptop is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, do not open the case or you can loose the warranty.
