    Hi All,

    I have a Sony Vaio SVS15 that I'm looking to replace the keyboard on. I believe in the S15's the keyboard is part of an entire top-case (touchpad, palmrest, everything). Does anyone know what the part number for the black-color one is? Or where I can get it? I tried to search on eBay but cannot find anything.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the information. I looked at the guide posted here on how to swap out the optical DVD drive for a 2nd HDD bay and the video showed that the top case (keyboard, touchpad, and palmrests) are all one piece.

    Guess I'll just get a keyboard cover. I have no reason to replace the keyboard now (everything works now), but just curious for the future if I need to replace.
