  • Difference between Sony Vaio PCG-71312L and PCG-71312M.

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 17 21:56:33 2022
    Hi,
    I want to find replacements for the keyboard and HDD caddy (tray) in a
    Vaio PCG-71312L. eBay lists a caddy for a PCG-71312M.

    Can anyone tell me how models PCG-71312L and PCG-71312M differ?
    Same keyboard and caddy in the two?

    Thx, ... P.

    This vendor claims the keyboards are the same: https://www.ebay.com/itm/112044239367
    Googling seems to confirm this but you should double check.
    look for kbd for PCG-71312L, then look for keyboard for PCG-71312M. Check if the p/n for the kbds match.

    No info about the caddy.
    Good luck

    Thanks for the reply.

    The original keyboard is Sony part 148793541. I didn't find the
    number in keyboards on ebay.

    My search found two keyboards claimed to work in the machine.
    112044239367 lacking the frame or bezel surrounding the keys and this
    one with the frame.

    I bought the 2nd, visible here installed in the machine. http://easthope.ca/VaioKeyboards.jpg
    The failed original keyboard is below. The two Enter keys and a few
    adjacent keys differ in shape and position. The original keyboard has
    some unusual markings on keytops, lacking on the new keyboard.

    The machine has Debian 11 installed with X and default keyboard
    support. No problems with function of the new keyboard.

    Thanks again, ... Peter E.
