    I've done a search but couldn't seem to find anything. The keys and palmrest area on my TZ are worn and I'd like to replace the parts and make everything look like new. I see someone on ebay selling just the keyboard piece, but couldn't find anything on the palmrest so I assume it should be fairly easy to swap the keyboard. What about the palmrest? Is it just a bezel that can be easily removed and replaced with a new part? Or would it be more cost effective to take it to Sony (I'm in Canada) and ask them replace both keyboard and palmrest as opposed to ordering the parts (assuming they sell the palmrest alone) and doing it myself... any help appreciated. Thanks!
