Not sure whether it will work for my Sony Vaio VGN-CR21 to remove the keyboard. Those 4 latches which are mentioned in this guide are not so visble on my VGN-CR21. The distance between the keybord and top plastic cover is less than 1 mm and you can hardly see if anything is there in that narrow channel. What to push and in what direction to push? If there are some latches are those part of the keybord itself, part of the top cover or part of something else? It would be good if Eugene can give some more details as it seems that VGN-CR is more specific model.

It was very helpful, although, my laptop required all three little screws in the back to be removed or else the keyboard would not come loose.

I’ve stumbled upon your blog looking for how to remove/replace the keyboard on my vaio vgn-cr. In addition to removing the main screw, there are two more screws under the battery (very short, with a rather wide top). They need to be unscrewed as well. Hopefully this will save someone from making more dents and scratches on the laptop than is necessery.

I picked up a used one on ebay and installed it myself (kudos to your tutorial).

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-7A2L (also called a VGN-FS640W). These instructions worked well for this model as regards lifting up the top panel above the keyboard. Once out, though, I found there are 4 more screws holding the very top of the keyboard that must be removed before you can take the old keyboard out. One more thing: the lone screw on the bottom holding the keyboard in place for this model is in a slightly different place, but the correct one has an arrow pointing to it like it shows in the photo above, just to the right in a different place, though.
