"Broken" Sony Notebook
I have a Sony Vaio 4E1L Notebook with a broken display. The screen itself is intact - so I assume it's a problem with the inverter or the backlight. The display is completely out of whack...is there an easy way to tell what the problem is?
I've never worked on a laptop before, but I need the experience. I went to open the screen, but there don't appear to be any screws. It's possible that they're hidden under the four little rubber pads, but I want to be sure before ripping them off, as I may be selling the laptop after repair. Do they just snap it together, and/or glue it with this model?
Stupid add on question: One of the keys is also missing (down arrow). A fitted Sony keyboard is rather expensive - can I get individual keys? Suggested retailers?
Thanks!
