Jen,
I purchased it online from a surplus store in what looks like China of all places. It looks to be the right size and thickness but who actually knows until it can be disassembled. I have had the bottom portion of this laptop apart several time in the past to clean and eventually replace the fan. I have searched the web and found nothing on the process of disassembling the screen portion. Sony does not even list a parts break out of this model.
Does Sony even have VAIO authorized repair centers now that they have stopped supporting VAIO computers? If so maybe I could locate one in the Dallas Texas area instead of shipping it off to never never land for a month or two if I can not figure out to take the screen out.
Any help or further suggestions always welcome.
