How To Open PCV-W1

[dizara]

Does anybody know how to open Vaio PCV-W1? I want to replace my faulty CD drive but it is situated behind the screen and I can't see any screws.

Is there any service manual that explains that?

Thanks for helping

You do not want to do this, I think.

You need to remove the screen's rear cover, but to do so you need to detach the screen from the rest of the system. To do that you need to remove top and then rear cover of the main unit, then continue taking it apart so you can reach the screws and connectors for the screen. The optical drive placment in the screen is sufficiently complicated that I do not think you will be able to wiggle it out of there by bending the screen's rear cover.

Its by far less hassle to use an external drive.

Thank you very much Stephanius, I thought that might be complicated. Alex
