Chosen Solution VAIO Model SVT13125CDS (aka. SVT131A11L) was subjected to a fall of sufficient force to separate one of the lid hinges from the lid. (Fortunately, the screen was not broken and the hinge has been repaired.) The unit runs correctly, except that the fan does not appear to run and the shuts down due to apparent overheating.

Chosen Solution My son inadvertantly cracked his netbook screen/display and we intend to replace the broken screen with a new one that will arrive in the next day or two.

Chosen Solution are there any direct replacement keyboards that fit the ideapad yoga 11s? I think you’ll have to do a bit of research yourself - I could be wrong but you may not find anyone here with a definitive answer.

Also, look for disassembly and repair guides and videos for your laptop, and when you know how to do it, remove your keyboard....

Chosen Solution Hi guys, First time asking but I’ve used this forum to troublshoot many issues on this machine and others over the years. Thanks in advance for your help!

How hard is it to replace the glass? Any recommendations?...

A few days ago the battery died, and after that the phone won’t turn on again. I tried charging it, putting it in recovery mode and DFU mode and nothing worked.
