Sony Vaio Laptop Keyboard

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop Model # PCG-FRV28. It was my daughters when she was iin High School. I want to repair it for my son.

The laptop is missing 3 keys and the dvd drive does no work. I can work around the optical drive since I have an external however I would like to replace the keyboard or just the buttons. Anybody know a good place to get parts?

PS: There is a guy on Ebay selling buttons but they do not match this laptop

Here's your replacement keyboard : http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/S...Keyboards.aspx

At $65 the price is fair but can you replace they keyboard yourself ?

I recieved the keyboard on time and as descibed.

I had a little trouble figuring out how to get at the keyboard, but with a little persistance and care I was able to install the keyboard. It took about 45 minutes. The system is running well. Thanks for the help.
