    I have a VAIO VGN-A417M (i suppose a different code out of italy?)
    http://support.vaio.sony.it/specifications/specifications.asp?site=voe_it_IT_cons&c=0&s=VGN-A&m=1878 . following a couple of years of quite satisfing use, I had a problem: the Notebook did not find the any drive for boot.
    I took away the HD drive, i tried to connect it to my PC (it's a S-ATA) and it doesn't operate.
    Anyway my problem is the following:
    The Vaio inside is very complicated, in order to remove the keyboard and to reach the HD I had to unscrew and remove a lot of screws. Now I have to reassembly it had I have many scres of different size.

    Does anybody know where I can find an exploded view and disassembly scheme for that model of notebook?
    Does anybody have a list of part?
    I looked around but I didn't find anything for this model.
    Thank You very muck for your time.
