Replacing the LCD on a Sony VGN-T150

I have a Sony VAIO VGN-T150 that I inherited from my wife when she broke the screen. I replaced the screen and used the computer for a couple of years. Then I broke the screen or, more specifically, United Airlines did.

Now that I'm replacing it again, I thought I'd post some helpful information. Even if you don't find it helpful, I will the next time I need it.



The VGN-T150 is also known as the PCG-4C1L, for reasons only Sony knows for sure. The screen specs are:

• 10.6” WXGA display (1280x768)
• XBRITETM technology

The Sony part number for the screen is:

• A8068213A

You'll also find it written as:

• A-8068-213-A

That's not hard to decipher, but the screen is made by Sharp, which calls it the:

• LQ106K1LA01

I believe all of these part numbers are for screens that will work with the T-150, but do your own research, I could be wrong:

• LQ106K1LA01D
• A8068213A
• 147783711
• A-1132-489-A
• A-8068-213-A
• A-1132-489-A
• A8068213A
• LQ106K1LA01
• Sony 147783711
• Sony 147783721
• Sony A1132489A
• Sony A8068213A

Prices for the screen range from $119 to $595, so it's worth shopping around.

It seems as though the same screen is in a lot of different Vaio laptops.

• Sony Vaio PCG-TR Series (some)
• VGN-T92S
• VGN-T130FP
• VGN-T140
• VGN-T140P (PCG-4C1L)
• VGN-T150 (PCG-4C1L)
• VGN-T150P
• VGN-T150PT
• VGN-T160P
• VGN-T170P
• VGN-T1XP
• VGN-T240PL
• VGN-T250
• VGN-T260PL
• VGN-T350
• VGN-T360
• VGN-T370P

I'm listing the other models because y0u might be able to find a broken one that still has an in-tract screen. I've never had much luck with that, but I always try.
