Vaio VGN-AR570 CTO Broken Keyboard

chaosphoenix · 01-13-2008, 01:10 PM

I have a Vaio VGN-AR570 CTO and I managed to accidentally break 2 of the keys on my keyboard on accident (the little plastic tabs on the underside of one key is broken, and the mechanism for the other key is shattered.) My friend who owns an HP laptop told me that he replaced his keyboard for around $20, and that it was simple, he just had to undo a screw under his case, pop out the keyboard, and pop in a new one.

I have been looking but haven't found any replacement keyboards for my laptop online. Does anyone know where I can find an OEM one, or even an aftermarket one for under $40? (I did find a replacement keyboard, but it just said compatible with Vaio AR series, and it was around $95).
