Where can I find a reasonably priced Sony Vaio VGN-SR190 hard drive connector cable?
I recently broke my hard drive when I dropped it and, upon inspection I now see that the connector cable that connects the SATA hard drive to the motherboard is broken (one of the pins is bent around and I can't undo it). I have a Sony Vaio VGN-SR190 laptop. Does anyone know a good place to find the exact cable that I need at a decent price (and the faster I can get it the better!). Thanks!

Well it varies between 1 hr 40 mins to 2 hours 10 minutes. Check mode of battery for longer life option

Sony's generally require specific casing. You might need to look for it at Sony directly.

Call Sony and tell them to send you a new one lol

Try ebay they have almost every battery for laptops. You could also try to buy it off sony but it could be a little pricey if you do. I would buy it off ebay to save some money.

My Sony Vaio laptop cannot connect to wireless networks?

It is probably your vaio. I had a Sony Vaio once before and had so many issues connecting to the network. You may have to bring it to the place you got it from so they can send it off for the Sony company to repair. Oh and just in case, make sure that the Wireless LAN switch on your laptop is in the "On" position. Sometimes it can be off and you don't even realize it.

I think you should have reinstall your driver or try to use other version. Good luck.

How does the Sony Vaio claim an i5 processor and have only 1.2 ghz speed?
Looking at a Sony Vaio Y series. It says its an i5 processor but it only has 1.2 ghz. The i5 is supposed to have 2.2 ghz? How did this happen?

I'm sorry... Where exactly did you get the erroneous information that the Core i5 processor only comes in one speed, and only 2.2ghz? http://www.intel.com/products/processor/corei5/mobile/specifications.htm There is a listing of the Core i5 Mobile processors. Note the different speeds they are offered in. http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=49159 There is the 540-UM, a 1.2ghz processor. Interesting, eh? end of line
2 :
I believe it's the SpeedStep technology of the i5 processor. The moment you are viewing it the processor isn't under load, so it shows a lower speed. My old Core 2 Duo laptop showed the same thing. Don't worry, if you have an i5 at 2.2 GHz it'll be that speed, when it's under intense load. The SpeedStep technology is so that it will save on power (electricity).

What is better for the battery life of a Sony Vaio laptop?
What is better for the battery life of a Sony Vaio laptop?
I bought a new Sony Vaio laptop yesterday and fully charged it. Now my question is: Is it better to take the laptop off the charger and use it 'till the battery is fully empty and then charge it again. Or is it better to just keep it plugged in the charger when I work on it (at home)?

Most batteries these days are L-ion (lithium ion). They have a special memory which cuts the battery life short. I'll explain: If you get your laptop charger and keep charging it at half way. If you do this for a long time (a few months) the battery will get used to getting charged at half way and the battery will just basically fall to 0 when it was supposed to be at halfway. This is hard to conquer in a laptop because you are constantly moving it around. My advice is - Only charge it when it's VERY low like about to die, but if you REALLY need it charged then do it. Just don't do it too often. Also, once in a while (maybe a few months) You should drain the battery life down to 0% (completely gone) Then charge it back up, this will make sure that windows and the battery are in sync. So there are no false readings. Hope all this helps -jgv115-

I brought my vaio around a year ago and my battery is fine. But I've had to replace my charger two times in the space of approx. 6 months... The charger just didn't light up anymore and couldnt seem to charge my laptop so i would watch out for that... I just keep my charger on and it's been working for me. I would recommend if you use the battery to use up all the power before plugging it in again.

What are you talking about? SATA = Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. Data is a word which means: Individual facts, statistics, or items of information. You can't enable data, since it is an idea, a concept, and was never un-enabled. You can't change a SATA drive to be data, since they are two entirely different things. Your question doesn't even make sense.

My Sony Vaio is really slow and really loud now what should I do?
I bought a used Sony Vaio and for a few months it worked fine and ran quietly. But now, all of a sudden, the hard drive is making a LOT more noise, to the point where it is annoying, and it;s running a lot slower. Everything is taking a lot longer to load. What could be wrong with it, and what can I do?

Install Windows or whatever OS you are using again it MIGHT work.. Or leave the computer for a day without using and turn it off
2 :
First, how much is a lot more noise? If the defragmentation program supplied with Windows has never been run, then a lot of files are fragmented and the head of the hard drive has to do a lot of seeks to gather all the information needed, that makes a lot of noise. But first get yourself an external drive and copy all your important files and folders to the external drive, then run a backup (external drives usually come with backup software). Then run the defragmenter program, it might take quite a long time. Some malware, when it gets on a hard drive, tries to look at every file on the drive in an effort to report back to its owner what images are on the hard drive, and so it constantly accesses the hard drive. This will slow your computer way down as well as make a lot of noise. So you might need to run an anti-spyware program quick.
3 :
It sounds like you probably have adware/viruses/bloatware/spyware junk on it. Try running anti-virus or scanner like AdAware or Spybot on it to see if it helps.
4 :
If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task. First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it. http://www.delete-computer-history.com/what-is-the-best-registry-cleaner.html 2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how: 1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser 2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options". 3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files. 4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK. 5. Click OK. 3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how: 1. Open your Start menu. 2. Click Run 3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe" 4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab 5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using. 6. Click "OK"

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S, and the touch pad is going crazy since I got home to my very dry house that has lots of static electricity in it. I had to run my shower to make the room humid enough to even operate my computer today. Is there some kind of trick I can do on myself to prepare my hands just before I touch the touch pad? The touch pad is considered "electro-static" if that helps at all.

If both your Bravia and your VAIO have VGA ports the best option is to use VGA on both of them. This will give you a nice HD picture without having to purchase any expensive converters. If that's not an option there are a lot of other solutions. If your computer has VGA, but your TV has HDMI I would recommend a VGA to HDMI converter like this here: http://sewelldirect.com/articles/vga-to-hdmi.aspx If your computer only has USB and your TV has HDMI you can use a USB to HDMI converter like this one: http://www.usbtohdmi.com/ If you want to read some other information about hooking it up in different port combinations please check this article here: http://www.squidoo.com/browse-the-web-on-your-tv

It is one year old, has a three year accidental warranty, and I have all the boxings and papers it came with. I was wondering how much I should sell it for? It is a white Sony Vaio, and was originally $600, but I paid around $900 with the warranty.

Sony Vaio VGN-NW series laptop
How do you replace the keyboard on a Sony Vaio VGN-NW series laptop?
I have looked up online guides for how to replace keyboards on other Sony Vaio laptop models, but they do not seem to apply to the VGN-NW series. Which screws do I need to undo on the back and how do I lift the keyboard off? Thanks!

I am running into the same problem. I am looking at mt VGN-NS135E after much disappointment from Sony Tech Support (I do not recomend them at all and they are still dragging out work that should have been warrenty) Anyway, long story short, after I recieved it back from Sony ater they said there was evidence of Liquid intrustion, I have found out that they have NEVER opened it up and they take me for a fool. (I work in the industry and I know their tactics.) Anyway, The best way I'm finding out how to remove a keyboard from a VIAO Laptop is to set it in your driveway roll over it a few times with your car. Then while your still behind the drivers seat, head down to your local best buy, or other computer source and buy something other than a Sony. I bought an HP and their srvice has been top notch, (I checked them out due to the lack of tech support and service from Sony) and found their first tier help desk most impressive and knowledgable. If they didn't know the answer, they immediatly sent you up higher up the food chain until the problem was solved without spending hours on hold.

Sony VAIO VGN-NW240F
What is the best wireless router for a Sony VAIO with Windows 7?
I just bought a Sony VAIO VGN-NW240F and I can't get my current Cisco Linksys router to work. I think it might not be compatible with the Windows 7 installed in my laptop.

They're perfectly compatible. What problem are you having getting them to work together?
2 :
You shouldn't have any problems with the compatibility with Windows 7. At least, I haven't heard of any lash-outs about wireless connections failing with this new operating system. What type of error are you receiving? Are you prompted any message on your PC, or what's happening with the Linksys router you have now. Are the lights lite up, is it plugged in properly to your PC? I don't have Windows 7, but I do have this Linksys router, http://www.wirelessnetworkhq.com/linksys-wrt54g2-wireless-g-router.html and haven't experienced any problems with it at all. Once you can determine the problem, I could just troubleshoot by simply searching online. I hope everything works out for you and you get this problem fixed. I know how frustrating computer problems can become.

For me the best wireless router is NETGEAR..it works really good..my laptop is sony vaio VGN-CS13G..my family also have their own laptops and even though we use it at the same time,the internet works fast..

What happened to the quad ssd's of Sony vaio z series in USA?
What happened to the quad ssd's of Sony vaio z series in USA?
Well, in Europe, the Sony vaio z series comes with quad ssd's. In USA however, the only offers are dual ssd's. Why is Sony USA not offering the quad ssd's anymore? Is this the reason why the $500 value adobe software pack comes for free with the system?

I agree, it is a bit sketchy that SonyStyle USA only gives the US consumers configurations of dual SSDs. However, the site is a little bit misleading... SonyStyle USA does in fact sell the quad ssd but only in the 512gb configuration. It might say it's 2x256gb but each of those SSD drives are actually a proprietary form factor that houses 2 sides of 128gb. It's physically 2 drives, but logically 4, ie 2x256gb = (2x128gb) + (2x128gb)

Sony vaio VPCEB2E1E
How can I get sony Vaio drivers for ethernet for windows vista?
I want to update drivers for sony vaio VPCEB2E1E for vista.I need free download ethernet drivers.

Knowing the brand and model of your computer is irrelevant. Knowing the brand and model of your ethernet card is what you will need to find the correct driver. If you know what it is, then you go to the manufacturers web site and you download the appropriate driver for your OS (Vista). I've never tried this, so I can't vouch for it, but there's a program out there called "Driver Robot" that scans your computer and tells you what drivers are needed. But it's not free. http://www.ethernetdriver.net/ I'm sure if you searched, you could probably find a free one some place on the internet.

Try at the Sony Site. I have given the link below for reference.

Sony Vaio for christmas
What can I do if I cant remember my start up password on a Sony Vaio?
I Bought my wife a Sony Vaio for christmas, she just returned from the Philippines, and we powered it up, and I cant remember the password I made... Even the hint doesnt ring bells for either of us.

The best way is to reformat your o/s Else click on the link to see if the solutions help.
2 :
Take it to the nearest computer service centre, they can fix this and make a new password for your PC
3 :
Assuming this is a password for your windows login, the easiest way to attempt removal is to restart in safemode (pressing F8 after the VAIO logo vanishes until safemode appears in a list of options). Hopefully, once your login screen appears there will be an Administrator account available without a password. (This feature varies from system to system unfortunitly). This Administrator account has FULL access to change anything on your computer including user passwords. Once logged in, go to Start>Control Panel>Users. Here should be a link to change or modify an existing account, select yours and click Change Password. There should be a button allowing you to simply delete the password or change it to something you can remember. Reboot normally and login! If this feature is not available there are other more advanced ways to remove the password from the regestry... but it can be very tricky and dangerous. Per the prev answer, google search it and see what you can find. Otherwise, you can certainly bring it to your local Geek Squad and they can remove the password for you. Prices change from store to store, ranging anywhere from on the house to $15-29.99 and usually only takes about 5 minutes.
4 :
download a password breaker software....i did this a lot of time ........coz i forget my own password...........
5 :
when u turn on the computer keep pressing F8 till a screen shows up with black n white select (Safe Mode) written alone not with networking then when u reach the windows in safe mode u will be able to access the PC without a password then go change the password or remove it the windows will not ask u about the old one :)
6 :
try loginrecovery.com you can download a floppy maker or a disc image to collect the password hashes and then have them decrypt them and tell you the passwords 2 computers needed

1: Backup all your files to cd/dvd. This is a bit harder than a external drive, but once burnt the malware can't hop around like it can on re-writable media. 2: Consult your PC vendor site how to do a "factory restore". Old machines used a disk, new ones have a encrypted locked partition on the drive someplace usually called "Recovery" 3: Note that your going to lose everything, that's the object. And get the machine like it was when you bought it. The anti-virus is going to be old, programs on it are vulnerable and so forth. These all your going to have to remove, along with the PC vendor bloat, games and other garbage. In your Add/Remove Programs. Enable your Windows Firewall. 4: Now get online with a wired Ethernet connection to a fast Internet service at home, because (Vista over 200 updates, 2 days) and Windows 7 (SP1 + Win Live, a few hours) is going to take some time. You need power and you need to set the /screensaver monitor NOT to activate/sleep or else you going to miss stuff and be stuck waiting. Install free Microsoft Security Essentials when you get the chance and activate it. Watch out when doing Win 7 SP1, if it seems to stop, there is a Windows Live window behind the update window that needs to be "ok-ed" before it continues. Vista updates are going to be especially painful, just rinse, reboot and repeat over and over until you get them all and there is nothing more it will give. You must keep clicking the "check for updates" because it will lie to you and say no more when there are many, many more. :) 5: Once the updating pain is over, you need to do a Windows Disk Cleanup and a Defrag. This can take hours. Will make Vista faster. 6: Next you head to Performance > Advanced Setting and tone down Windows eye candy. Set to custom and delete everything but four options, the thumbnails, font and box smoothing and the last one. (or Windows will look like basic XP) 7: Make sure you do a System Restore Point of this "pristine" and very fast Windows. If you have the ability to make System Restore Disks and Images to DVD's DO IT!! Save yourself having to do this again one day. 8: Optional and recommended programs: Flash, Java, FoxItReader (pdf), Firefox 4 (fastest and the best) VLC, LibreOffice. CCleaner. Recommended sites: Qualy's Browser Check/ Mozilla Browser Check. 9: If your computer is still slow, check the RAM. Vista needs about 2GB. So add more from Crucial.com to make sure you get the right specs for your computer. 10: Do a malware scan of the external drive/cd/dvd's before transferring files, download new versions of programs from fresh sources. Use a Mac or Linux machine to scan for malware if all possible as they are much safer operating systems by default.

use the system recovery or recovery counsel----------- not system restore it is in your start menu or google your model # system recovery it is there . why didn't you read the user guide to your pc ? please next time tell use if your on vista,win 7 or xp. our answer will be better for you

I'd buy a new one for that price. "Refurbished" means it's been returned to the factory for one reason or another.Sometimes no reason at all. People can be stupid. You can get a nice new computer for that price range.

Theres no way u can do it without the CD. Because the laptop itself doesnt have the image of your factory setting. The only way left is to seek your vendor, Sony, for the image of the laptop. Or get them to do it for you. :)

Sony Vaio "F" series laptop
How much will it cost to clean out a Sony Vaio's dust clogged fan?
I have a Sony Vaio "F" series laptop, and the fan is making a grinding noise, and when I move it, it screeches and stops, then continues. I'm wondering if its clogged up with dust, or if the fan is defective. I bought a can of pressurized air, still no good. My question is, how much is this going to run me if I take my laptop to Geek Squad at my local Best Buy? How much will it cost to get it cleaned from the inside?

About 1-2$ Go into bestbuy and buy a can of compressed air, start with loosening the dust clogged in the rear vent of the laptop cage, sometimes the exhaust is on the left side, you need to loosen the large dust ball blocking the heat exit. Oh be careful, because when the dust comes out, dont have your face there to catch it on its way out. Once you get the dust out of the main vent proceed to blowing air into each and every hole the laptop has, once again, Keep Face Away from Flying debris coming out of exhaust, Some nasty stuff is gonna come flying out. When you have 90% of the dust out, the bad sound should stop because the dust should be somewhere other then the computer or your face. Tip Dont JAM the nozzle in there like some Mexican cleaning lady does to a Vacuum under a bed while your still sleeping, because the parts and wires are very sensitive to things jamming into them.

I have a Sony Vaio "F" series laptop, and the fan is making a grinding noise, and when I move it, it screeches and stops, then continues. I'm wondering if its clogged up with dust, or if the fan is defective. I bought a can of pressurized air, still no good. My question is, how much is this going to run me if I take my laptop to Geek Squad at my local Best Buy? How much will it cost to get it cleaned from the inside?

About 1-2$ Go into bestbuy and buy a can of compressed air, start with loosening the dust clogged in the rear vent of the laptop cage, sometimes the exhaust is on the left side, you need to loosen the large dust ball blocking the heat exit. Oh be careful, because when the dust comes out, dont have your face there to catch it on its way out. Once you get the dust out of the main vent proceed to blowing air into each and every hole the laptop has, once again, Keep Face Away from Flying debris coming out of exhaust, Some nasty stuff is gonna come flying out. When you have 90% of the dust out, the bad sound should stop because the dust should be somewhere other then the computer or your face. Tip Dont JAM the nozzle in there like some Mexican cleaning lady does to a Vacuum under a bed while your still sleeping, because the parts and wires are very sensitive to things jamming into them.

Can you upgrade the Sony Vaio LT graphics card?
Can you upgrade the Sony Vaio LT graphics card?
I have the new all in one Sony Vaio LT25E and these all come with an NVIDIA GEForce 8400M GT graphics card. My question is, Can I upgrade this. I have a Intel Core 2 Duo processor at 1.66Ghz and 3GB of ram. On my old Vaio I could watch Tv in the background while I played EQ2. Now the windows media player gets all choppy when I try to do that. Any suggestions?

No, the graphics on that model can't be upgraded. You can take it to Best Buy and have an optimization performed on it for $29. That will make it perform about 10-15 percent faster overall. Maybe try upgrading the ram to 4GB also.

I would not say there is any difference.

Get the Japanese one. Japan has better quality generally, and I would buy Japanese every time. Probably cause China uses poor deprived workers and don't really care about the quality of their products, just the cost and saleability. Practically you'll probably never notice the difference though.
3 :
They would be the same because sony would not have changed the laptop just because it is made in a different country. By the way good choice with the Vaio.

How do I connect a Sony Vaio Laptop to a Phillips TV?
| How do I connect a Sony Vaio Laptop to a Phillips TV? I have Sony Vaio laptop and I have tons of movies on it. I want to watch these movies on a TV screen. My TV is a regular TV not LCD flat or anything. How do I connect it so I can watch the movie I have on my laptop on my TV. Home Theater - 3 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : it depends on what type of connections can go in to your tv 2 : Does your Vaio have a video output? My Vaio has an HDMI output...but that would not work with a regular tv. Does your TV have an S Video input? There might be an HDMI to S Video conversion cable that you could use if so. 3 : Your best bet is an s-video cable and an audio cable I think. First, examine your laptop and TV, go on the internet, and figure what ports they have. Then go to a local best buy or something and describe it to the salesperson. They should point out the correct product. Another way is to buy a separate computer monitor and hook it up to that. It is much easier. |

Sony Vaio (VGN-S560P)
My Sony Vaio freezes at 84% when I try to reset the factory settings; how do I get around this?
I don't have the original disks, so I have tried various ways to reset my Sony Vaio (VGN-S560P) to its factory settings without them. I manage to get the reset going, but each time, the progress bar freezes at 84% and goes no further. What can I do about this? Thanks!

There is probably nothing you can do about that... it all depends on exactly it is locking up. Is it locking up because of Bad Ram in that 6 year old laptop? Is it locking up because the hard drive has finally failed (when most hard drives will only last 3 to 5 years, as that is the expected life span of one)? Is it locking up because the system is heavily infected and the recovery data is corrupted? Unfortunately, you can't find the discs for that unit, because you were supposed to make them when the unit was new. So... what can you do now? If you can get hold of an OEM install of Windows XP Home, you can attempt to reinstall Windows that way, but if the Ram or Hard drive is the issue, it won't matter. You will need to diagnose why the recovery process locks up first. With a Windows XP installation disc, you could enter the recovery console and run CHKDSK to see if the hard drive is failing or has bad sectors. You can download Memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com and make a boot disc you can use to check your Ram, to identify or eliminate that as a possibility. In short, you need to identify what is causing the process to lock up. Yes, I realize you are asking that question here... but without getting hands on the unit, none of us can tell you what is causing the unit to lock up. We can only point you in a few directions to check yourself. Unfortunately, without access to all the right tools, you might be left with taking the unit to a computer repair shop. end of line
2 :
Start your system with safe mode and disable unwanted services running in background. It can also be due to some virus infection, you can run a full system scan in this regard. Another reason behind Sony Vaio freezing during factory settings can be a registry database. Defrag registry using secure system utility software such as McAfee secured RegInOut. Run disk cleanup utility and update your device drivers. Hope this would help you.

you're gonna have to open up your computer to figure it out. first you need to find out what ports you have available. If you have an AGP or a PCI-Express x16 slot on your motherboard then you will be able to put a card in there. If all you have is PCI left on your motherboard then you will not be able to upgrade. there are PCI cards available but unfortunately they won't be able to increase your performance in gaming. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_E http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Local_Bus after that, check out your Power Supply Unit and find what type of Wattage it has, if it is below 350 watts then you will have to upgrade to a higher capacity, usually around 500 watts. then finally see what kind of connectors are on your PSU, each card is different but usually need 4 or 6 pin connectors in order for them to function. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_psu

Most companies have a general shipping policy and theirs may be a week on the order form, however, they may have known that they could ship out in 1-2 days. So, the question is... is the form telling you it will be shipped within a week or you should receive it within a week? I would call the company or email with your order number, most companies will have information online that you can see. Hope this helps.

Keeping your drivers updated can be a very arduous task.

There are companies that provide driver solutions. The best one I found is: http://drivermd.com/update-drivers/ Their software is free to download and offers a free scan of your PC or laptop. It will then tell you all the drivers that are out of date, broken, or missing and allow you to update & fix those drivers once you register the software. It's a small price to pay I think $30 and then you get unlimited driver updates. I run it every few weeks to make sure my laptop drivers are up to date. Geez does it save me time & headaches trying to scour the Internet looking for every single driver. There are other companies out there, but they're no where near as good. They don't have as large of a driver database or they just send you to a link farm and you still have to scour their link farm looking for the right driver. Trust me don't bother with all that.

Ive tried cleaning using q-tips and rubbing alcohol, but that didnt help. Any suggestions, especially from those vaio users like me?

For the monitor, I would use a cloth that is specifically designed for that purpose. Should be easy to find at any computer store. To get between the keys I would use electronics's grade compressed air (not one from a shop air compressor as these often release water.) For the rest of the surfaces, I would use a cleaner that is electronics safe. Windex makes one.

It is mostly oils and dead skin cells on it and a cloth dampened with dish detergent and water should clean if it.
3 :
Tooth brush and isopropyl alcohol. :)

Apart from the features in the first place its a financial decision. Mac-books are normally at the upper side for comparable features, while at the same time the range of windows OS based software is larger. I am happy with my various Vaios, but for sure any Mac fan would tell you that there is nothing better in the world than a Mac. That is almost like a religion for them.
