VPCF12AFM - Disconnect / remove / replace the keyboard

My mother has a VPCF12AFM. She spilled liquid on the keyboard. Now, just a string of 'nnnnnn' is displayed. I want to connect a USB keyboard, just to see if it works - it does. But I don't know if the issue of 'nnnn' is because the internal keyboard is stuck or the computer just needs to be scrapped. It's better that it uses currently, so I want to reset it.

Should what screws I delete to actually remove/disconnect the internal keyboard? If the computer works with the USB keyboard, I either replace the internal keyboard wrong, or just leave it disconnected and have to use the USB keyboard.

Thank you

Mike

Hi mbarbone,

I also check the BIOS settings, and we don't have any option to disable your computer's internal keyboard. I'm sorry but what I propose is to visit the Sony authorized Service Center in your area.

I will send you a private message regarding this process.

Best regards

Vincent

    Hello

    Your warranty is valid?
    In this case contact the ASP in your country to replace the kneeboard, since this would be covered by the guarantee and he would be free of charge.

    As far as I know the keyboard replacement procedure is the same as for Portege R700 series
    It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
    Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
    Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
    And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts.

    Greets, Benjamin

    Hi Benjamin,

    As far as I know that these manuals are not for the public. Technicians certified for laptop only can download these manuals. You can download the normal user manual that came with your laptop.

    A friend told me to replace the keyboard to remove the keyboard first, support but it s fixed by screws on the underside. After that, you can remove the keyboard but be careful with the cable.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky. If you n t have experience with that you should ask a technician for laptop help.

  • You can replace the keyboard on Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT?

    Hi all

    I can get a good deal on a laptop Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT.

    However, there is a downside. They keyboard is in German. I think that the German layout is QWERTZ?
    in any case, I want to know if it is possible to replace the keyboard with a keyboard with a United-States-layout (QWERTY).

    I noticed several online shops offer keyboards, but I'd rather be safe on this fact.

    I can find keyboards, with provision of the United States, for Acer Aspire E5 - 571 G '-part, but not for the TC model 59. Does it matter? I think that the last part is reserved for configuration, right? If anyone can confirm this?

    The keyboard I have found so far is: http://bit.ly/1EVk49k
    Even cheaper eBay: http://ebay.to/1vjvXG9

    So far, thanks for responding. Very much appreciated.
