    Hi guys,

    I'm pretty sure my model number is VGN-NR38E (Thats what it says on the little panel type thing on the monitor case anyway), however I'm not 100% sure. It also says PCG-7134M on the bottom of the laptop too, so hopefully one of them will be able to help you understand what laptop I'm using.

    Anyway, my keyboard is basically in a complete mess. Numerous keys are missing, 7 keys to be exact. And its not a case of just replacing the keys due to the rubber bit having come unattached from the laptop on the majority of them.

    I've searched Google and the sony website for days trying to find a replacement keyboard for the laptop but to no prevail. I've found one similar, but the Return key is a different shape so I'm not completely sure that would work.

    I was wondering if anyone knows where you can purchase one of these keyboards.

    Also, on numerous laptops I've come across they've had panels above the keyboard which are removable, to reveal the clips needed to unclasp the keyboard. However, this laptop doesn't seem to have one. If anyone knows where I can find the clips, and a suitable way to press them in for keyboard removal then that would be helpful too.


    Regards,
    Chris.
