    I've tried searching the Internet without any luck. I think my friend needs a keyboard for his Vaio PCG-GRT100. The "H" key is stuck. I am more of a desktop person although I have done some upgrades to my older Dell laptop.

    Can anyone recommend a place to get a keyboard for this model?

    Thank you for the response. I was not able to locate the exact model of the laptop on the site. However I was able to locate a couple of used keyboards on ebay. I also sent an email to Sony's parts dept. If all else fails, Sony will replace the keyboard, bezel, palmrest and back cover for $170. Again thanks.

    the keyboard is there, although they do not have a P/N for the TZ like they do for the TXN.

    Find the damn disassembly guide

    Thanks Nixon. I'll let my friend know and let him decide what to do. I don't feel comfortable taking apart someone else's laptop. I've been building my own desktops for about 16 years now, but didn't touch a laptop until about 2 years ago. That is an old Dell and I just added memory, new hard drive and optical drive, nothing major. I just bought my Daughter a new XPS M1530 for her B-Day this Saturday so maybe I will learn more about them soon.

    Thanks Again




    Why the hostility? Get some sleep:tongue: :) J/K Thanks for your help also.
