In this guide I'll be doing a full disassembly of a Sony VAIO PCG-61411L laptop. My hope is that you will find some helpful information here and possibly save some money! lets get started!

First unlock the battery with the sliding locks (marked with orange indicators), and lift battery up and out.

Next loosen the hard drive cover screws as shown (marked with red indicators picture 1) And remove the hard drive bay cover.

Remove screws from indicated areas (picture 2).

Use the tab (indicated in picture 3) to pull the hard drive to the side and lift it free.

-
Loosen the screw marked (indicated in the red circle) and pull the RAM bay cover free. (the cover has plastic tabs on the sides and may take a few tries to free it.)

push the metal tabs on either side of the RAM chips, making them lean up slightly, and pull both chips free

I would have to say a partial disassembly, unless I'm missing pages somewhere?
As a matter of fact there are 20 (not 15) small black screws (in addition to the 3 silver ones) that hold down the bottom casing. Also, I could not pull the tab in the RAM bay, but was able to rotate the bottom casing around that cable to access the fan, which needed cleaning.
I have same model of this laptop and the same colore I need motherboard where I can find it and how buy it by laptop model or motherboard have model number.
How about an actual Sony part number for the hard drive caddy that this model used? User removed the drive and tray, then lost both. I can fit an SSD into place but have to use some high-density packing foam to keep it from sliding off the connector. Can't find a service manual for this unit anywhere, let alone a drive caddy, and especially not when I have no idea what it really looks like, except from the 2 pics you have of it, but there's a number of them that look the same. Thx.
