In reply to chris. @ chris, Sorry, I don't know if these motherboards are interchangeable. It looks like both laptop are from the same model line VGN-BX. There is a good chance the replacement will work but I'm not sure 100%.

Take a look at this service manual for Sony PCG-FR series laptops. It has laptop break down and part numbers. Could be helpful. The link to the manual located closer to the bottom of the page.

In reply to BobbyC. @ BobbyC,

Do you know where I can get a replacement keyboard from Also, the hinges on my Vaio VGN-BX are knackered and the lid can not stand up by itself. Do you know how I can replce them and where I could get the part?

I think you can find both parts on eBay.

Great manual on disassembling the laptop, really clear and I used your HP DV6500 as well. I’ll be donating :-).

In reply to dchet. @ dchet,

Dvd front cover came offâ€¦â€¦how does it go back onâ€¦â€¦..

Normally you just place it in the right position, apply some pressure and clip in. There should be three or four plastic latches holding the front cover. If it doesn't stay in place, apparently these latches are broken. In this case you'll have to purchase a new cover.
