VPC-EB LCD Replacement?

Volunteered to replace a cracked panel in a friend's EB. I've done several panels in the past but can't find a disassembly guide for this model. I haven't worked on EB before...if anyone has any links/manuals I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

 

NVM, figured it out, pretty straight forward.

 

What's your opinion on working on this EB model?

 

^Pretty easy, actually. Once I removed all the screws on the bottom the D panel came right off (as opposed to most notebooks needing to remove the keyboard and the C panel). This exposed the hinge screws and the LCD assembly came right off. Total removal time for the LCD screen was probably only 30 minutes, including the time to disassemble the LCD assembly to remove the LCD screen.

 

That sounds interesting, actually.

I am likely to upgrade the HDD or switch to SSD, eventually and depending on the current wifi card in the laptop and which options or other wifi cards one can switch it to, I would possibly switch that out, too.

Nice to know that the Vaio E sounds like a decent laptop to work on.

Do you work on any other brands? I was curious how the Sony would compare to recent Asus laptops and HP DV/DM models.

The Sony and Asus ones look similar? I was wondering if Asus supplies Sony as similar ODMs. I am probably wrong but the keyboards look similar.

 

HDD is easy to access, wifi is a little trickier to access, but not too bad.

I haven't worked on asus or any recent HP's. I don't do repairs for a living, friends and family call me for this stuff

 

Thanks for your input! I think the Sony Vaio sounds not too bad. I think they're up there with my top choices, probably with Asus and Toshibas.

Good to hear feedback regarding maintenance and upgrading/repairing parts.
