I have a Sony Vaio PCG-614xxx with VPCCW21FX screen. My laptop screen got cracked, and to repair the screen, I was asked by Sony rep to find the screen model by opening the screen but had no clue how to. Thanks to this post, I am able to open the screen, find the model number, and take my next steps.

Thanks.

In reply to Joseph. Joseph,

I have a Sony Vaio E Series and my display got cracked and I need a replacement. Do you know if the procedure to change the display is different?

I haven't created instructions for Sony Vaio E series yet. Could be similar to this one: https://www.insidemylaptop.com/replace-lcd-screen-sony-vaio-nw235f-laptop/ But this is just a guess.

Great site and found the photos of disassembly a useful guide even though my machine is a Sony PCG-GRT896HP.

My screen started flickering when moving it a few months ago, so suspecting the screen cable, I left the screen up, since I never move the laptop. Everything was fine until this morning – blank screen! Removed trim and checked cable and inverter connections – no joy.

Found that after closing lid and opening, screen would be okay (albeit with a red cast) for about 3 seconds, flicker, then go blank. An image is barely visible and it still displays to an external monitor.

Realised problem is associated with the microswitch that dims the screen, but have no idea how to proceed.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

In reply to michael. michael,

I ordered a replacement screen for my PCG-7112L. It came with an inverter attached but uses a larger connection pin for power. Should I just remove and use my old inverter or should I seek to change the power cable from the laptop to match the new inverter?

I think you should use your original inverter. It's just a different type of connector.

Hello, I find your site very helpful and I would like tot ask you an question: I’ve got a PCG-K115Z and I want to put 2 x 512 MB memory into it and a larger & faster HDD. But I can’t let the BIOS recognize the changes: memory never comes above 768 MB and the new HDD does not work. I updated the BIOS to version R0110X1 but no result.
The old HDD is: Hitachi DK23FB 60 and the new one: Samsung Spinpoint HM160HC.
I thought the BIOS would recognize the changes in hardware automatically but it can’t forget about the old configuration. How can I “clean” the BIOS without damaging everything?

Thank you for your answer!

Dick

In reply to Greg. Greg,

Iâ€ve got an old Vaio PCG FR-130. The screen started fading, looking like a dim amber color. It would blink out after 10 minutes but if I used a paper clip or closed the cover on the cover latch it would appear again, although less than optimum brightness. I did some study and found out it might be the inverter. Any at home diagnostics I can use to test it, repair it?

It's either bad inverter board OR backlight lamp problem. For some reason I think your failure is related to the backlight lamp, not the inverter. This is just a guess but from your description if feels like the backlight failure. In order to find out if your problem is related to the inverter or backlight, you'll have to test the laptop with another known good inverter or backlight. There is no other reliable way.
