Trying to find a replacement part for a Sony Vaio

[KM@]

I've got a laptop sat here where the owner has experienced problems with the touchpad, and took the laptop apart trying to find the problem.

The problem is now there is a crack running through the touchpad's PCB and i've got to try and replace it, ok simple enough, except i cant find one for this laptop anywhere!

The laptop is a Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S0/W1 and the touchpad is integrated into the palm rest.

Anyone have any idea's where i may be able to source one from? I am in the UK but the client has indicated that providing the price is reasonable he is willing to pay shipping from the USA, China, etc.

Thanks

have a look at www.pchub.com

they are based in the far east, prices can be costly, but they have a huge amount of parts.

+1 for PCHub. Great service for laptop parts

Have you googled the part number for the PCB? - likely to give you more results than using the laptop model to source

What's the delivery time for PCHUB if they are based in the far east?

edit - just seen it.

Martyn, i've usually had stuff arrive within 10-14 days from ordering. When your in need of a part, which no one else has, you have to take the rough with the smooth lol.

2-3 days to australia. thats why I use them - they are actually quicker to deliver than a lot of local suppliers here

Hi guys, just to let you know the Laptop is repaired, kind of. The Touchpad is a bit posessed. It astonished me how Sony intergrated the Alps Touchpad right into the case.

I couldn't find the part on pchub, but damn they have got some hardware on there!
