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?

Do you have a built in card reader in your laptop? If not then you will have to buy an "all-in-one card reader with USB connection" to connect to your laptop. Check out your local computer shop, it's a very common item.

Sony Li-ion PCGA-BP2E (11.1V/3400mAh)
Where can I find a good deal on a battery for a Sony Vaio laptop?
The original battery is a Sony Li-ion PCGA-BP2E (11.1V/3400mAh) and it is used in a Sony Vaio Model# PCG-GR370. I am open to other brands that will work.
