Most laptops have a function key just look around for it in the lower left side of the keyboard it should be a different color and be marked Fn Hold this down and at the same time look across the top of the keyboard for a symbol of the same color on another key that looks like a sun symbol or lightbulb and there should be 2 of them one for brighten and one for darken They might also have an arrow next to the sun symbol These keys also can control the wireless card external monitors, sounds, mice, 10 key function and etc If you jump on www.sony.com you can download the user manual for your computer and then just click the file and check the answer for yourself Hope this helps

What is the best external HDD for a Sony vaio laptop?
My Sony vaio died on me and I was told it was the hard drive so I need to replace it. What is the best HDD to get?

Does. Not. Matter. All external hard drives will perform virtually the same.
2 :
If you have the cash, look for a SSD (solid state drive). These drives are expensive, very expensive, but offer a much higher performance than normal hard drives. Just look for something that can fit your laptop's hard drive specifications (e.g. 2.5", SATA) and you'll be able to just fit it right in. The Intel SSDs are currently the more popular ones (e.g. Intel X25m) Alternatively, just get a normal hard drive such as a SATA 500GB. 5400rpm or 7200rpm, doesn't really make a big difference.

What hard drive do I need for my Sony Vaio?
What hard drive do I need for my Sony Vaio?
My Sony Vaio laptop was knocked off the table and now the hard drive is destroyed. I need a new one but I don't know what kinds are compatible, etc. The model is PCD-71314L. Also, how hard is it to install it myself if I've never done it before? Do I need to get someone else to do it for me?

I found a good deal on Newegg.com for a compatible hard drive for your laptop. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136197 I always choose Western Digital as it has the best statistical reliability. Installing the hard drive is relatively straight forward, there should be a panel on the bottom or bottom/side of the laptop with one or more screws holding it in place. After you find and remove it, its simply a matter of sliding the old drive out, removing the hardware (usually a bracket and maybe a conenctor) from the old drive, switching it over to the new one, and installing the new drive. Be warned you will have to re-install the operating system as the new hard drive will be completely blank.

Google the model number, it will tell you. Modern hard drives are all the same, just a capacity difference. Yes, you can change it yourself, easily. But, do you have a copy of the OS?

Sony Vaio laptop who can tell me where to put in the memory card from my digital camera?
Does anyone have a Sony Vaio laptop who can tell me where to put in the memory card from my digital camera?
I'm totally electronics-retarded. I just got my first digital camera and want to upload the pictures onto my laptop, a Sony Vaio, but I can't find where to put the memory card into the laptop. I've seen it done in friends' laptops but cannot find it on mine. I guess if worse comes to worse I can use the cord thingy & plug the camera in but I'd like to be able to use the memory card as well. Can anyone help me locate the spot where I insert the memory card?

Im guessing the 4650 is PCI express, make sure you have a pci express slot. Also it may need a 6 pin power connector, so make sure (if it is) you have one hanging off your psu.
2 :
From the research i did i think i have found that it will not work. It seems your motherboard does not have a pci-e slot. This PCI-E is needed for modern video cards The review of your pc i found: http://www.itreviews.co.uk/hardware/h486.htm this says "Expansion-wise the PCV-RS226 is a little limited, with only two free PCI slots and a CNR slot, but with integrated 10/100Mbps networking and a built-in modem, about the only thing to add would be a decent sound card, as the integrated audio controller and the supplied 3W speakers are pretty poor." it does not mention a pci-e slot. if you have to buy one get something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139046 that will fit in your computer

Sony Vaio TX5XN laptops
What causes my Sony Vaio screen to stay black (with just a shadowy image on the screen)?
I have 2 Sony Vaio TX5XN laptops. Machine A works perfectly, Machine B has a very dim display, i.e. the backlight or the inverter is not working. However, when I switched the two lids (screens and all) between the two machines, Machine B still had the dim display and Machine A was still fine. The external display works perfectly off the VGA socket, so it seems that the motherboard is OK. What is causing the backlight to stay off?

Machine B's screen appears to be fine - if it weren't, it would present an image when connected to machine A. It is not the complete video card that is broken, if it were, you would see anything on an external monitor. Clearly, on machine B, something on your motherboard that produces the image and connects to the lid is broken.

Also Update your Mousepad drivers and or reinstall them, I suggest you get them from Sony website.

Come on, you at least need new a Windows CD or what are you going to put on it after it's formatted? What about applications? Have you thought this through? If not DO NOT DO IT.

If nothing is wrong with the computer, you don't need to format it. Otherwise you may have to buy the recovery discs from sony or worse get a copy of windows XP to load back on. Maybe you should go to some local pc shop and ask if they can sell you a copy of an OEM licence of XP. Some dealers will do that but I think that way, it's still a genuine licence but at least you're paying for it. Otherwise go to a flea market and see if there are genuine copies that people are selling. Remember not to buy the recovery cds, it must be a genuine stand alone copy of xp. Or buy a genuine retail box of the operating system if all else fails. BTW, couldn't you access the hidden partition? I am sure if it is the original hard drive, the OS is hidden in the partition. Check the sony website or forum on how to recover the partition.

I bought a used laptop, sony vaio model sz220b I was just wondering how i can completley format the computer making it like i just bought it new. Ok sorry i think i said it wrong.. i want to reformat the hard drive. Dell has this think where you push of the the "F1" buttons while its booting and it takes you to this thing that pretty much makes your computer brand new.

it really doesn't matter. any router will work. i recommend linksys routers.
2 :
If you only have the one computer , you don't need a router. Just plug directly into your modem. Linksys, Dlink, or Belkin are very reasonable and dependable. Whichever is most readily available and best price. If you are planning on wireless get a wireless modem from your provider or you can get any of the above in a wireless version.

Every file present in your registry contains a command or direction for every program and application on your computer. Registry files are the files that give your computer the instructions for what to do next. If these registry files get corrupt or misplaced, your computer fails to understand what to do. In these instances, your computer loses control, eventually leading to a crash. At this stage the priority is to fix these registry files. In such situations it is suggested that you do not try to fix the registry yourself. Immediately find registry cleaner software Reginout and scan your computer to locate any errors.

Hi Green, Changing brightness on a computer can definitely be a bit irritating. Here's a how-to for adjusting the brightness of your computer screen: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Adjust-your-monitors-brightness-and-contrast. You may also have sun sensitive features on your new computer that automatically adjust depending on the light environment. In that case, you'll want to disable the Adaptive Brightness feature in Windows 7. To do so use the following steps: Open Power Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then clicking Power Options. Under any plan, click Change plan settings. Click Change advanced power settings. In the list, expand Display, and then expand Enable adaptive brightness. To turn adaptive brightness on or off when your computer is running on battery power, click On battery, and then, in the list, click On or Off. To turn adaptive brightness on or off when your computer is plugged into an outlet, click Plugged in, and then, in the list, click On or Off. Click Apply. Click OK. Hope this helps! Cheers, Kim Windows Outreach Team

how do you make a CPU fan run always in a sony vaio cs series?
I have a sony vaio cs series laptop which automatically shuts down. I was told it is the CPU fan which is not cooling the laptop effectively. I would like to know how to set the CPU fan to run continuously to prevent it to heat up and shut down unexpectedly. I am not a heavy user and use my laptop for surfing/email and regular usage only.

It is not good for your computer fan to always be running it would collect a lot of dust and take a lot of power/ sometimes lag your computer. You could always clean your computer or cpu fan by taking it apart or giving it to a professional to clean. I am able to take apart my laptop easily and clean the fans myself to prevent heating.
2 :
I had the same problem with my laptop. I bought a can of air and sprayed through all the venting areas, one will be the fan too. It cooled it for me. Then I went and got an inexpensive cooling fan. I don't use it now because I just spray the fan vent out every once in a while.Have had no problems sense. Good Luck

you cannot, unless you change your CPU fan.. or better yet buy a laptop cooling pad. it will help you keep your laptop cool.

Even if it's been discontinued, some electronics stores may have some left over. If they don't have any, try refurbished computer stores. If that still doesn't work, check out eBay. They're bound to have one.
3 :
You can search Ebay, TigerDirect.ca(or .com) Newegg.ca(.com) or any online site, they usually have more stock than a store and have things a little longer. once it's Discontinued though, it's while quantities last so Ebay might be ur best choice and it will most likely be second hand... On the plus side though, Sony does make great products, though the main issue with their laptops(and a couple other things) is they are over priced, you can get an identical laptop for 200-300 less in a lot of cases. and tigerdirect has a large selection of inexpensive Vaio

Black screen on Sony Vaio Desktop
How to get rid of black screen on Sony Vaio Desktop. Can anyone help?
My sony vaio computer restarted unexpectedly and its at a screen that suggests different ways of restarting my computer. Some examples are safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, and restart windows normally. I've tried them all but after the Windows XP loader is done the screen turns black without a cursor.

Your operating system is corrupted somehow. If you have a Windows disk, boot to that disk. (You may have to go into bios to temporarily change the boot order to the cd.) Then boot to the Windows disk and tell it to do a Repair. If you have disks that came with the computer, but are not Windows disks, then you want to try to do the same basic thing. You want to do a repair or restore of the operating system, without wiping the disk by formatting or over-writing your own files. If all else fails, you may need to do a restore to the factory-fresh state. Before doing that and losing all your stuff that is on the computer, there are two things that you can try to do. One is to borrow someone else's Windows disk and do a Repair - do NOT do an install, just a repair! The other is to move your disk to another computer as a slave drive and copy off all your files that are important to you. If you don't have anything of value that you care to save, you can just do a complete reinstallation of the factory disks (either came with your computer or you made when it was new) preferably after formating the hard drive.

Sony Vaio E Series with Window 7
Can the Sony Vaio E Series work perfectly with Windows 7 Professional?
I am getting a Sony Vaio E Series and I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Will it work with no glitches? The Sony Vaio that I am getting has Intel Core i3 (2.5GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD.

The Sony Vaio E you're considering will already come with Windows 7 installed on it. Just uninstall all the stupid bloatware and trialware programs that come installed on laptops. Run CCleaner afterwards.

Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-CS110E
How come Sony Vaio laptop shuts down within a few minutes?
My Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-CS110E wont stay on. I would turn it on and within a few minutes it would shut down by itself. Then I would turn it on again and it would shut down again. I don't know why it does this. There's power in it because I charge it and a light on the laptop indicates that it is plugged in. So does anyone know what is wrong with it and how I can fix it?

Heat. Check to see if the fan runs when you turn it on. If not, it needs to be replaced or each time you try to turn the laptop on you risk permanent damage from the processor overheating because the fan isn't working to cool it. If you aren't sure, have it checked and serviced.
2 :
could it be a virus
3 :
The situation sounds familiar, but you need to provide us with more information If the monitor IS displaying something, you probably need to pop open the computer and clean out the fan-the computer detects a constantly rising temperature and shuts off to prevent damage. If it is NOT displaying anything, possibly there's something wrong with your power source, try taking out your battery and booting it up.

Sony Vaio V505DP
I have a Sony Vaio V505DP - does anyone know if I can use a different keyboard as a replacement or find one?
I have a 12.1" screen Sony Vaio V505DP which has a key missing that I cannot fix. Does anyone know an alternative model that I can use instead of a usb keyboard? I would like to replace it.

A USB keyboard is really your only option. You could try contacting Sony and see if anything can be done about your missing key.
2 :
You can go and buy a keyboard for under 20 bucks nowadays.

How do I make my fingerprint reader work again after I installed Win 7 on my Sony Vaio Z?
I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) on my Sony Vaio Z and my fingerprint reader stopped working as well as the function to adjust my screen brightness (Function + F5/F6). I went to the Sony Vaio website and dloaded the Bios Update for my model but it did not seem to make any difference (still not working). Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

If your pad supports scrolling horizontally then it will have horizontal strips on it's pad. You need to press on the strip and drag in the direction.

Sony Vaio VGN-FW21M laptop
How do I clean the INSIDE of my Sony Vaio LCD Monitor?
Rather clumsily, I spilled coffee on my Sony Vaio VGN-FW21M laptop. The only casualty is a stain on the inside of the monitor in the bottom left corner. I can still see through it, though it's rather annoying. Any clever solutions out there?

Recommend you a DVD tool. I find Pavtube intuitive and easy to use. Most importantly, up to now, I was able to open, copy, and watch every DVD, irrespectively whether the DVD was bought in Europe, Japan, or USA (i.e. all the three zones). Great software. Does what it claims. http://www.pavtube.com/guide/rip-play-blu-ray-m2ts-files-with-media-player-classic-home-cinema.html
