Sony manufactures Vaio laptop computers, known for their slick LCD screens and sound quality. Like any other laptop, damaged components may need to be replaced. If you have a damaged Sony Vaio VGN-BX Keyboard on your laptop, you can remove and replace it on your own.

Power off your laptop and disconnect the battery pack from the bottom of the computer. Locate the rectangular frame just above the keyboard.

Insert the tip of your screwdriver in the seam at the edge of the frame and gently pry up to remove it. Set the frame aside.

Remove all screws above the Sony Vaio VGN-BX Keyboard. Set the screws aside.

Lift the keyboard up from the top to reveal a ribbon cable that runs from the back of the keyboard to the top of the computer.

Unplug the Sony Vaio VGN-BX Keyboard ribbon cable from its port on the top of the computer. Set the old keyboard aside.

Plug the ribbon on the new keyboard into the port and place the keyboard over the top of the computer.

Replace the screws and frame.
