Larry: Great videos! I both replaced the fan and the keyboard. All went well. I am now going to replace the battery; I just ordered it. Both your videos are excellent not only because of their content but how you calmly and thoroughly explain the process. Thank you!

Larry Thank you! This video, and the one on changing the fan, gave me the confidence to complete both tasks. I now have two(!) brilliant Pro 13s working beautifully. The only substantial bit I had to work out for myself was to reuse the my old trackpad as the one that came with the new keyboard was significantly different. Certainly in my top 10 youtube videos.

I almost ordered keyboard-only, but I'll go for the keyboard-palmrest-touchpad assembly as well, thanks to your video. Seems like keys popping half-way off after 3years is a usual thing for heavy users of the SVP13. Already curious, switching from black-on-black/german-layout to black-on-red/us-layout (I'm coding a lot, so US layout is better). :-)

Also Larry at around minute 19 you are showing what cables to replace...What is the cable that is on the bottom right with the arrow pointing to it? I dont have that piece of tape or anything there....Did Sony techs take something out and not replace it? Thanks again

Matt, not 100% sure which cable in the bottom right, but I can see a speaker cable and an RF (WiFi, etc) antenna cable. Also keep in mind that cables can change (come & go) based on which accessories were ordered and what revision of the motherboard you have vs. mine. i.e. sometimes the manufacturer reroutes a cable or integrates the cable into the motherboard.

Hi Larry ....Looking closely at your videos and images of replacement keyboards I noticed the thin ribbon cable in the middle wasn't actually the one for the keyboard.DUH! So I found the ribbon cable (wider) under the battery and plugged it in...Presto!!! It works! I am typing this very message on my SVP132 now. ... Just a couple little things now...I dont know why but I cant find the cable to plugin the SD card reader. I see where its supposed to go but no ribbon cable to be found... Its not connected to anything . Hmmmm Also the audio jack doesnt work. Its connected but doesnt do anything

Matt, sounds like good progress! Regarding the audio jack, you may try re-seating the cable. (I am assuming your speakers work?) If you plug headphones into the audio jack do the speakers mute, as they are supposed to, but just no audio from the jack or neither happens? Regarding the SD card cable, I want to be sure that I understand. So the small white ribbon cable in the video going to the SD card assembly is missing? Can we assume the cable was there when you disassembled the PC? Is there a chance the cable has gotten hidden under another assembly? Larry...

Shaik, sorry for the late reply. You can find batteries for the Sony Pro13 on-line, like at Ebay: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2322090.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.XVGP-BPS38+.TRS0&_nkw=VGP-BPS38+&_sacat=0 However, I suggest you research other users/buyer's experience with a battery seller as some have very POOR quality.

Hi Larry Could you give me a link to buying the A-1964-472-D part on ebay...I tried to find it had no success. My keyboard is completely unresponsive and I guess it was damaged when sony techs tried to open it up. They gave me a refund for the cost of the laptop and sent me the laptop back broken and Id like to see if I can get it to work again. Thanks for your videos!

Matt, you may have more luck finding the PC model of the keyoboard vs. keyboard part number. Example: Search "Sony SVP132 keyboard". Note these are color specific (black or silver) and language specific, be sure to zoom into the keyboard and verify the keys are the same as your keyboard. Here are a few examples: (I've not purchased from any of these vendors so I don't know their reliability): www.ebay.com/itm/New-Sony-VAIO-Pro-13-SVP13A-SVP132-SVP1321-SVP132A-plamrest-UK-backlit-keyboard/322161912764?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3Da225905d813f4340ac6029a2e74ca66c%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D162243631970 www.ebay.com/itm/New-Sony-VAIO-Pro-13-SVP13-SVP132-touchpad-plamrest-us-keyboard-backlit-black-/272421094369?hash=item3f6d9003e1:g:gfkAAOSwHsRYCYGB www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-VAIO-SVP132-13-3-PALMREST-TOUCHPAD-W-KEYBOARD-BACKLIT-009-101A-2937-A-720-/172422449996?hash=item28252dcb4c:g:Wm8AAOSwImRYOY8v The ones from China appear new, but will likely take 1 month or more to ship via non-express.

Joaquin: Hi Larry, The fact is that I own a Sony Vaio just like yours, and I have changed its keyboard today. But, once finished, the computer won't turn on. I press the power button, and nothing happens, it's not working. If I connect the AC adaptor, I see the loading led working fine. But the computer doesn't work. Do you have any idea of what could be not working? Thanks a lot, I appreciate if you can help me out... Best regards! Joaquin Larry: Joaquin, sorry to hear you're having difficulty with the Vaio. Note that on KZitem you can ask questions and they come right to me. First let's do some trouble shooting: 1) turn off the PC, try plugging in a separate monitor to the HDMI port then push the on button and try to boot. This will tell us if the connection to the Vaio's screen is not connecting properly. If the external monitor works, then you'll need to remove the bottom of your Vaio and review the connections for the display. 2) if the above doesn't work, then the next step is to start going in reverse order of the reassembly procedure and recheck each connection. Hopefully you'll find the issue early and not have to completely reassemble. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Larry...

Joaquin, I reread your message and if I originally understood "loading LED" as the Vaio's LED. However, maybe you were referring to the LED on the power supply? If this is the case, ignore step #1 and go directly to step #2 and start checking the power connections in the PC.

Hi Larry! I am Joaquin. Thank you very much for your help. I took all the steps again from the very beginning and the result was the same: the computer won't turn on. I thought about trying to turn it on with the AC adaptor plugged in, and... bingo!! It worked! When I entered Windows I saw that the battery was fine, about 50% loaded. So my guess is that, when I removed the battery to change the keyboard, maybe the circuit of the power switch drained out of energy at all, and maybe it needs a little bit of energy just to turn on the computer. Once I pluged the AC cable in, it had enough energy to work, and now it's working just fine. It may be helpful for other people. Thank you very much!!
