Vaio VGN-TZ11 broken mouse button - where can I find spare part in UK?

Hi All,

My TZ11's left mouse button has gone a bit 'soft' and it's a bit unreliable now, so using the computer is becoming very frustrating. I can see that it's pretty straight forward to take the keyboard off and get to the trackpad and mouse assembly but I need to know where to get the spare part in the UK.

Can anyone tell me the best source of this part? And also the part number?

Do I need to buy a combined trackpad and mouse assembly or can I buy just the micro switches for the mouse?

Thanks -g

I would email that seller if you're in any doubt of what you need/might not need.

You can order this from Nextronics.

I ordered something from them and the service was very slow. May be my experience was just a one off.

I would just get it of ebay.

 

@Rachel: thanks for providing the information - very kind. The part on eBay isn't quite right as it doesn't have the finger print scanner between to two mouse buttons. Do you know if the A1289864A part number refers to the one with the finger print scanner or not?

They do sell one of those.

You could also find a US model that has a fingerprint scanner and look on the Sony service sales website for the part number.
