Question ID: 24438
Where can I buy a new replacement keyboard for my Sony C1XD
Picturebook for a good deal?

The C1XD is a European model.  Please help - but I am looking for
somewhere that sells it besides Sony Europe, because Sony support
really sucks.  They won't replace it unless I send it in for a
'repair' and since I bought the machine off eBaY they won't even take
it in, because the original owner is registered.

I would really appreciate any help whatsoever.  A granny knocked over
a can of coke and the keyboard seems ok but acts funny.  I find that
it works better, when I unscrew the keyboard screw, and tilt out the
keyboard from the hinges.  I tried to clean it...

But anyway, I would like a replacement keyboard.  I know that
laptopking.com sells the C1XS which is the US version keyboard for
around $100 or so.. but if I want the UK version, for the C1XD, and I
have heard that I can get them for around £50-£60 but I don't know
where!

Also, I can install the keyboard myself so I don't need a 'tech'.. but
I need it to be able to be shipped to either the UK, or to Hong Kong,
preferably.
Thank you..

best regards
Vincent

Bargain guy,

It's breaking my heart to see your question go unanswered for so long.
 I did a bit of fishing around [google search sony (c1xd OR c1f)] and
have two suggestions for companies to contact who MIGHT be able to
help you out.

One is an Irish  firm called iPlanit at
http://www.chad.gilmer.com/notebooks.htm
that specializes in refurbishing notebooks.

The other contact is Contactcom at:
 
 information@contactcom.co.uk

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Dave

Since I am not sure this is compatible, but would guess it may be,
I'll post this as a comment instead of an answer.

I found the following at
http://www.partsearchdirect.com/product.asp?Category=&product_id=17606411&IsSubPart=0&Manufacturer=76&PartNumber=&ModelNumber=c1xd&Description=keyboard

Brand: Sony 
Description: KEYBOARD  
Part #: 147593221 
Availability: Usually ships within 3-5 business days 
Price: $69.78  

They say this keyboard is for the Sony model # PCG-C1X. You can call
them at 1-877-62PARTS (1-877-627-2787).
