Stripped two of the three screws trying to swap the fan. Ordered several types of extractors online. The first one I got was a small set of extraction pliers: www.vampiretools.com/shop/products/pliers/vampliers-mini-5-screw-extraction-pliers-2 . These worked well: got both screws out in 10 seconds. (No affiliation with that company, just a surprised and satisfied user.)

In reply to the previous comment, that is NOT “sony’s site”. Encompass is not Sony! They distribute parts for hundreds of different brands, not just Sony. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with them but don’t mislead people into thinking they’re buying directly from Sony!

top two red circles are in the wrong place, they should be under the triggers.

Thanks, I have the same keyboard and the same micro-USB problem. I used a flat screwdriver to remove the PCB cover (breaking all the screws), removed both cables, soldered it, and with a lot of patience and with small pliers I was able to re-insert both cables. Now I’m just not sure how to glue the cover on again

Hi there.

Thkx in adv

why the !&&* should one remove the board just to solder the wires to the freely accessible uart port?!

Hello, where could I find a replacement brush for this model?

This saved us. Although we have a different model.

For reassembly, it would improve the instructions to note the exact orientation of the camera cable, as well as the LVDS cable, in these steps (7-10). This avoids confusion as to where those cables go when the display is reattached (working steps 11-13 in reverse).

As viewed from the orientation of the laptop at this point (looking into the motherboard from the underside), these cables are routed ABOVE the mounting plates for the hinges.

Viewed from the front of the machine (as it would be sitting on the desk in front of you during normal use), they are routed BELOW those plates.
