Thank you so much for this guide.
I have model VPC F126FMB and was able to use this guide to replace my display inverter with a new one. The only problem I have is that it didn’t fix my display issue. 🙁

I’ve seen other people that have the same issue I have, where an external monitor (either RGB port or HDMI) works, and if you shine a flashlight on the screen, you can see the desktop, icons, etc. – as if the LCD itself is working fine, but the backlight is not. If I press the “Display Off” button on the Media Bar, the display will light up for a fraction of a second and then go off again. Everywhere I read online said this was the inverter gone bad, but sadly that didn’t fix the problem. It’s almost like a fluorescent light with a bad ballast that won’t fire up.

If you have any ideas on how to fix this I’d be extremely grateful! I can’t afford a new laptop right now, but I’d be able to donate some $$$ to your PayPal if you can save me. 🙂

In attempting to replace my palm rest on a vpcf126fm ( broken DC plug holder. seems that this series of comp are notorious for this)
As I said I was attempting to replace the palm rest when all of a suddenly there are these two wires with odd looking connectors dangling with no apparent place to connect them. I have searched and searched for so much as a description of them. With your tutorial I have found out where they connect. Now, any suggestions on how they reconnect? I know this post is very old, I just hope you still monitor it. Thanks for putting an end to months of searching for the answer. Very well done.

Hi,

I would be happy if i could get some help. I would need the front casing, the bezel, and the screen frame/bracket and hinges. The screen still works fine.. But i cant seem to find the screen bracket anywhere. The model i have is the VPCF115FM

I would be grateful for any help.

Hi,

Hi Thank you for this wonderful website. Its been helpful so many times!

I’m having a weird issue with my Sony (exact model)…. It would run on a fully charged battery and powers on fine however once the battery dies it doesn’t turn back on once plugged into the charger.

I take the battery out completely and just try powering on with a charger and same thing. The green power light on the laptop BLINKS RAPIDLY as soon as I plug the charger in (kind of looks like a short) and nothing happens. When I press the power button I see 2 lights on the mother board light up briefly as if its power on but no fan spin or anything else.

I changed the DC jack port and still the same thing. I’d appreciate any help you guys can give me here as Im stuck and I don’t want to have to buy a new laptop.

I needed to get some compressed air through my fan on my VPCF12AFM and everything looked almost exactly the way yours is. Thank you!
