    Does anyone know where I can find a screenand the housing fo this model? It is a 370P. I broke it a month after the warranty went out and am totally heartbroken. The harddrive still works, miraculously, but the entire casing is shattered, incl. the screen.

    I thank you in advance.

    I hate to admit it, because I've never done anything like that befre in my life. Temper tantrum. It got thrown down on its bottom with the screen open. (A week before my wedding and one week following hospitalization due to a prolonged misdiagnosed illness; there was a lot going on.)

    Again, any help would be appreciated.

    I think your best bet will be to call Sony, or maybe even PortableOne (they are licenced Sony resellers and repairers), and simply ask for the parts.

    If Sony wont help you out, then PortableOne might, from what iv heard, they seem to be very helpful!

    Thank you. Found out that the screen was just shorted out, so I really just need the casing.

    On eBay this seller seems have a some SZ parts:
    http://stores.ebay.com/TCIpartswarehouse_VGN-SZ_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ11354746QQftidZ2QQtZkm

    as well as this one:
    http://stores.ebay.com/ITC-Laptops_Laptop-Components_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ12939167QQftidZ2QQtZkm

    It won't hurt to ask if they have what you're looking for in case it's not listed.

    This might be the most useful:
    http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Sony,Vaio,VGN-SZ,Laptop,Parts.aspx
    Palmrest housing: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Sony,Laptop,Part,266345821.aspx
    I think this might be the lid: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Sony,Laptop,Part,A1178619A.aspx

    Anyway, all the housing parts seem to be towards the bottom. Good luck.
