This is one of the easier Sony Vaio’s to get into. Undo all the screws on the bottom of the laptop. Remove the battery, hard drive and DVD drive and the base separates away from the keyboard part. There is a clip above the memory that attaches the cable from the USB ports to the motherboard. Undo this before separating the two halves.
Clip fits in here. Attaches USB ports to motherboard
