Sony PCG-Z505JS: motherboard keyboard connector broken

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Did you only damage the connectors hold-down clip (it's the top flap that
pushes down to hold the KB connector in), or did you wipe out the whole
thing (which is very hard to do...)?

Not that I have a good solution, but if all you've damaged is to hold-down
clip, the I'd go on to ebay, buy the same vaio motherboard that's DOA, and
carefully transplant it onto your system. These things will always break
when you try to transplant them, too - the trick is to not break too much
of it so that there's enough of it left to work!
