You can try eBay.
Can you replace the CPU or is it soldered?

Firstly, thanks for this guide, it really helped me a lot. Secondly, I am trying to buy a new fan for my Sony Duo 11, but I can’t find any online. Could you please let me know what the part number is to make it a little easier for me to search?
We have sold more than 200 Duo 11 cooling fans before, but they are now out of stock and unavailable on the market.
Is there any chance of getting the display flat cable that goes from the mainboard to the display?
Mine is broken. I bought a new screen from nbkit.com and connected it, but it stays black.
The funny thing is:
If I connect via HDMI, I can see my windows and now it gets confusing:
Touch and pen do work. But no light or Picture. What the hell is wrong with my beloved Vaio Duo 11?
My last Idea is the Flat cable.
BRO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THAT UNUSED SCREEN? IS IT STILL AVAILABLE? CAN YOU GIVE IT’S SPECIFICATION? I HAVE A VAIO DUO 11213 CNB.
Sorry, bro. I cracked it too hard while disassembling it (it is glued, and you have to crack it controlled to remove it completely), so I put the old dead parts in the trash.

Thanks

Can we (any hardware expert not me) put the motherboard of Vaio Duo 11 in the chassis of any traditional laptop (preferably x1 Carbon, because of its solid body)
