    Hello

    I own a Vaio Z VGN-Z555DN

    The internel cable that connects the motherboard to the keyboard and the mousepad got worn off. I have mistakenly damaged it while cleaning my laptop from dust.

    Is there an online store that sells that cable so I could fix it my self?

    I tried to look for it, but no luck :(

    Thank you.

    Are these cables replaceable? I am always under the understanding that they are part of the keyboard themselves.

    cheers ...

    hmm I think it isnt, the keyboard, mouse and fingerprint are connected to a small board on the top frame and the ribbon cable (one which i accidentally ripped) connects that small board to the motherboard. I assume that if a replacement is needed it will be one with the board but not the keyboard.
