    Hi all,

    Just purchased a Fit15A from ebay and it's in rough shape. The vendor didn't disclose that it was an M.2 SSD instead of SATA, so I'm missing parts I need to upgrade the storage.

    Does anyone know where I can find a parts diagram for the Fit15A or a service manual in PDF? Sony has us contacting third party "authorized" re-sellers who aren't all that familiar with with our laptops (and, IMO, aren't willing to find part numbers to see if they have stock) since they service everything from fridges to lawnmowers.

    So, any help, or direction to find this info would be appreciated!

    Short of that, if anyone is willing to provide part numbers or tips on specifically sourcing parts (I've tried ebay, amazon, the "authorized" parts suppliers, and even just googled without part numbers), that would be amazing.

    Model: SVF15N190X
    16GB RAM, GT735M 2GB, 2880x1620, 256GB M.2 SSD (to be replaced, hopefully, with 2TB SATA SSD)


    Parts I'm looking for:
    1) rear rubber foot (one of the pair)
    2) bottom case screws
    3) HDD caddy bracket assembly (foil, side brackets, screws) (HDD tape would be great as well)
    4) the caddy retaining bracket (dog leg/Z shape that holds caddy to mb post) and screw
    5) sata cable
    6) the "platform that the HDD assembly rests on" (what looks like a metal bracket with several medium sized holes cut through it and one large hole) and screws.

    Incidentally, if anyone is considering converting their SATA Laptop to M.2 maybe we can swap parts?

    Help if you can! Regardless, thanks for taking your time to read all this!

    Robert
