Removing the casing from a Sony pcgfrv26 laptop

[theeunthuziast]

Hey everyone, I cant seem to find the last screw to remove the case of the laptop to disable the onboard keyboard....read below another case that was solved but no one responded too....hence the repost

Any help would be appreciated

I`ve just pulled a laptop apart, removed the keyboard etc, to fit a new CD ROM drive.

It`s all back together but when it boots into Windows it`s almost as if the alt key is stuck down and the keyboard will only work for shortcut keys (i.e in MS Word pushing F will open the file menu, and thinks like o just make the keyboard beep).

If I double click on a shortcut the mouse displays the properties menu instead of launching the programme!!

If I go into DOS Prompt and type the keyboard works fine - any ideas?

It`s a Sony Vaio PCG-F709 laptop.

Thanks,

Keith

I have a sony-vaio PCG-frv26 laptop
I am having the same exact problem and have a few questions.

1) How did you get the case off for your laptop to disable the internal keyboard? I thought I found all the screws, but the case just wont snap off in certain areas....do I need more than a screwdriver to get this casing off?

2) Did you find anything else to fix the current problem....i cant reinstall windows becuase when I go to the fresh install from the boot...it still wont let me hit "f8" to continue the install process....so I am stuck with the current recovery version that comes built into all sony laptops.

3) Whats a good keyboard to get to replace the onboard keyboard? Is disabling the onboard keyboard a matter of detaching a wire?

4) Once you replaced the keyboard did your mouse stop acting strange?

5) I thought this was a virus...but it seems not...if you managed to get yours back up an running...please post anytthing else you found about this problem....I have spent hours working on this issue, and just want my darn laptop back...I never did take anything apart in the first place, it just started acting like this out of the blue.....very weird.

Thanks in advance
