Excellent Video! I was able to replace my cooling fan thanks to the instruction here showing how to disassemble this Viao! Saved me from having to purchase a new PC! THANKS!
Thanks bro! Your clear video demonstration gave me the ONE PIECE of information and confidence I required to complete this Sony Vaio Update! And thanks for making the video so easily accessible, with all of those chapter cuts. Later bro!
Vaio Tap 20 has a capacitive touch screen digitizer (a 1mm thin glass) with about 3mm gap in between the digitizer and the LCD screen by a double sided sticky tape. You have just placed the middle point of the glass holding the full load of the desktop (with your funny table). "BIg Mistake" the stress on glass can break the digitizer anytime.! ! ! Just like any other LCD screen's handling precautions the outer frame SHOULD be taking the load so place it on a FLAT surface on a spread cloth. A Novice thought can be dangerous, this is why personals get trained at colleges for servicing of any electronic equipment ......
Thanks for a really helpful video. Cheeky to ask but is there any chance you can produce a part 2 video for dissembling a Sony Vaio Tap 20 and include how to change the Digitizer Glass please? I cracked the screen on my Tap 20 and have sourced a replacement glass screen but can not find out anywhere how to actually replace the glass. I was hoping your video here would include this information because I've seen lots of forum comments asking how to do this. Thank you.
Hey Anna! Were you able to replace your screen? I have the same issue but not able to find a place to repair it or get a replacement glass. Any input from you would be super helpful!
Sorry Rajat, Last Feb 2016 I sent my computer off to a repair company in Manchester. At the time I did source a new digitized glass screen and told the repair company the suppliers information. It took 11 months to get my PC back as they claimed the screen they acquired did not work and they could not repair it but I don't think they even tried. I've just got my PC back (Jan 2017) and it doesn't look like they've touched it at all. Now I can not find on line a digitized screen anywhere. I have however managed to disable the touch screen function and the computer is working well with the crack across the glass.
Hi I have tap 20 I5 series.. Can I change wifi adaptor as to use my tap 20 as secondary wireless display for my server. Any help will be appreciated,thanks! Ps: thanks for the video!
i doubt it. as you need a way to power the LCD screen. with most AIO the computer powers the screen therefore you have to buy a different component just so you can get the screen to turn on. you can do this but it is cheaper to get a screen and sell this. there are many youtube videos showing you how to turn a LCD screen into a monitor i tried it but realise it cost quite alot compared to just getting a proper screen.
