    Today I just try to see the inside of this beauty beast.
    However, after I put the parts back in, most of the keys on keyboard, touch pad, the sexy green light, the led light on the upper part don't work! :(

    The graphic switch still work, the vaio, assist, special and disc reject button still work. Some of the keys still work like "w p s z '" and space bar

    The left, right, down arrow work, up arrow doesn't work

    Can't adjust the screen brightness even in the power option.

    The fingerprint work.

    Anyone can help please?

    Are you sure you connected the cable connecting the keyboard with MB well? Hopefully you didn't break it...

    I don't know. :(
    I have tried many times to reconnect that cable and it still doesn't work...
    I have connected it back and push it quite hard to ensure it is well connected. But not very hard because I was afraid I would break the motherboard.
    But I remembered it was quite hard to pull out at the first time.
    It is quite easy to pull out afterwards.

    After seeing some pictures of that cable, I think I may break the connection part...Half of it is left on the socket
    Anyway, I will take it to repair tomorrow
    I swear I won't open it again.
