Features
• Circuit board connects Teensy to 24 pin 1mm pitch FPC connector and breaks out all other I/O
• Scans a KFRMBA151B Sony Vaio keyboard and sends keypresses over USB.
• Communicates via PS/2 with the Sony Vaio touchpad and sends the data over USB
• Replaces the control pad for a M.NT68676 video board
• Receives commands over I2C to shut down power or reset the laptop

I converted a Sony Vaio PCG-K25 to a Raspberry Pi 3 laptop with a Teensy ++2.0 as the controller for the keyboard, Touchpad, and Video Card.
The following picture shows the Teensy and other boards in the laptop.

**********Update - The laptop now has battery operation**************

The Teensy reads the battery voltage with its ADC and blinks the video card off for a second
if the battery voltage is getting low. Eventually the Teensy shuts down the laptop power latch
if the charger is not plugged in. I updated the PDF documentation and the code at my Github repo
