Taking Apart a Sony Vaio Laptop

Step 5 Remove the ribbons

Remove the keyboard ribbon and all other ribbons that you see there. For the keyboard ribbon, I had to push the little black plastic back a little and pull on the blue tab. It should come out fairly easily. For the smaller ribbons, the black latch flipped upward and the blue ribbons came out easily. There was only one more connection and it was your typical 3 wire jack. Slowly remove it, as well. I used my flathead screwdriver to pry it out gently. Again, the key here is not to be a Neanderthal. Everything has a purpose and if you tug like a savage you will break something. Take some time and figure it out. It's not worth breaking something. There are a couple more case screws you'll want to remove. There should only be two or three.

 My computer (which I think is the same one) had 3 screws under the keyboard that needed to be removed.
