Prob: SRG. Internet webpages wont load, with full wireless signal.. I got the part and got the screen out. From what I found on the internet, it looks like I have to pry up the top plastic around the keyboard. I found a service manual for a VGN-C but the top plastic is a little different than this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wow Beautiful website. I have a diode in cc and his not charge battery. Thanx in advance Alessandro. Now I want to change that to windows xp and i have tried several time but to no avail.
Does it give you an error message? By the way, some laptop that come with Vista do not support XP. Before you jump in and reformat the hard drive, visit the Sony website and find out if they have device drivers for Windows XP. However you might not be able to find xp drivers for the motherboard devices ie. One day my keyboard suddenly responded strangely.
Some keys do not response. Some keys respond as other keys. Horrified, I reboot the computer. A lot of noises beep-beep-beep during the start up process.
But the computer can start. But the keyboard problem persist. This beep-beep-beep sounds like a stuck key on the keyboard. Try replacing the keyboard first and if you still experience the same problem, apparently there is a problem with the keyboard controller.
Thank you so much for posting those links, my FE21s has something wrong with its Wifi switch so no bluetooth or wifi unless i keep my finger pressed against the switch! Anyway thanks for the service manual. In most cases, this is simply a matter of applying contact cleaner to the internal wireless switch.
On rare occasions the motherboard will need to be replaced. May all mighty Allah bless u all. I need a service manual. I hav by mistake change de power setting.

Thanx for the Sony repair manual links — sure appriciate it. Now if you run into a set of links for the exploded views with part numbers for ordering… that would complete what i need to fix my VGN-SZn. Do I need to remove keyboeard?? Where can I find some more infos?? Thank you!!!
I have a Toshiba centrino laptop, it had been serving me 2 for years but now it has a problem with its LCD screen. Sometimes the screen goes off when playing film or music but the film or music sound is still playing, and I still can see the statement of the film still moving on in a very dim image. I am sure that my laptop is normally working except the backlight. When this problem happens, I close the lid and my laptop goes to standby mode,after that I open the lid and the screen it lit again, Sometimes I have to close and open several times to get it lit back.
One thing very special, If I open the lid lower or equal 90 degree, It just flash in milisecond and then turns dark. If I open it more than 90degree, It works fine. Anyone has good ideas? Please help me! I am sure that when dismantling the laptop, you have accidentally removed the tape sticked on the IB inverter board. The IB is usually laid inside a transparent cubic plastic tube located under screen.
Please take the IB out of the tube and wrap it with transparent sellotape around it as spiral shape from head to end till IB is fully wrapped. Remember not to remove any sellotape sticked on mainboard. Thank you for those links!
Could be memory related problem. Try that first. Recently there was an spark from the cooling vent area and it followed bit of smoke. After that the cooling fan stopped working. I also realized that there is a thin strip of line on my display. However, still the laptop is working. That is beyond my affordability. Could anyone suggest me what might be wrong with the laptop?
Is it enough just replace the fan or the whole motherboard has to be replaced? I cannot tell without looking at the laptop. From your description I assume that you have a fried component on the motherboard and replacing the cooling fan will not help.
Dear cj, I was also fearing that a component on the mother board is fried. However, when I followed your clues and checked both the motherboard and cooling fan area, I found out something interesting. Actually the smoke was coming from the dust gathered in the cooling fan area and I am still not sure about the sparks. Anyway, after cleaning the 1 inch thik layer of dust from the vent area everything is back to normal.
Even the display is ok. Is there a method of reattaching it, or should I find a replacement keyboard? I discovered one of my RAM chips was bad, indeed.
On one occasion, I noticed the timer had not progressed and the progress bar looked erratic but working. I lifted the laptop with my right hand grasping the right side of the keyboard. The timer had jumped to its correct time and the progress bar displayed as expected. I put the laptop down and the timer froze. The progress bar went wonky again. I was thinking of putting rubber padding underneath the mainboard where the ATI chip is located.
I was also thinking about taking the fan and heatsink off and putting one or even two thin copper or aluminum squares with thermal grease between the ATI chip and the heatsink. I have tried removed the cmos battery bur it does not help. Anyone has another way to bypass it? I got problem with my Sony laptop VGN cr, no led, no power at all, I think something goes wrong with power supply.
Can some one tell me where to buy sony power supply or where to down load diagram of sony vgn cr??? Tks a lot!!!! Hi, can any one show me where to download diagram for power supply of sony vgn cr?????
Many thanks!! Actually both the speakers are not working. External speakers and headphones are working properly while connecting them in it. But I dont know, what is the problem in the internal speaker?
Should I reinstall the driver? Kindly, assit me to fix this problem. Neither the modem nor the LAN ethernet port seem to be detected by the operating system — Vista Business. BIOS options seem to be extremely limited. How do I enable the modem or LAN ports? Could be software related problem. Have you tried reinstalling device drivers for the modem and LAN?
If still no help, most likely you have a faulty motherboard and it has to be replaced. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Thanks for the quick response. There are only 2 screws on top and the bottom seems to be attached to the hinge.
I tried opening it up but could only get it to open halfway. Sir i am having a sony laptop VGN-FE41Z of which i am looking for a complete service manual can you provide me with the same please. The wire dose not look like a copper one. Inside the insulation looks like a string.
What can I do to fix my blunder? Okay I have a Sony Vaio laptop at work I need to replace the keyboard on. No one seems to be able to tell me how to dismantle to replace this part in the model that I have. Test the power adapter first. Make sure the laptop is getting power from the wall. I have barely used it and left it in pristine condition. If I move the top of the laptop toward me, sometimes the image comes back to normal.
If I move it backward, then the image freezes and goes white again. External monitor works fine. I opened the top and bottom of the laptop, and checked the connection on both sides, it seems fine.
Is it possible that the cable is getting squished in the hinge.. Lately I have been using the laptop without the LCD bezel, and I removed the left speaker to give the cable more breathing room. I think this is ridiculous! Have you ever seen something like this? Your description sounds like a problem with the LCD screen. Apparently there is a bad solder joint somewhere on the LCD controller and it fails intermittently.
It depends on what kind of noise you have. In some cases cleaning the fan will help. Can you or anyone post it? FWIW the one listed here is the previous series. Hey Gecko I have the same problem with the wireless switch on a vaio FE41m did you managed to solve the problem??
Please help!!! I had the same problem with my fan. I suggest you clean it using cotton buds soaked in soapy water then lubricate the fan bearing with castor oil using an injection needle. It recently stopped functioning. When I power the unit on it sounds like it is starting normally. Where do I need to start? Charlie Blair, Could be memory failure. Try reconnecting memory modules, make sure they make good connection with the slots.

I have sony vaio laptop, buy from Spain, malaga. When I push the power button the power led comes on and stays on for just a few seconds and turns off. Is this a power problem or something else?

Yesterday, I was watching a video online and my computer was on the charger. Then, all of a sudden, the computer shut down, and made a crashing type of sound, which worried me.

Could be memory failure. Try replacing the memory module with a new one and test the laptop again. Do you have two memory modules in your laptop? Try removing them one by one. If one of the modules is bad, the laptop will start properly when the bad module is removed. Any one to help?? Well ……. I guess that depends on the size of your lawn.
But yeah, thanks guys. I can take care of my lawn myself, but a couple of beers sounds great. It is fantastic and hope it will remain up to date. It saves alot of money to those who wants to do the job own their own.
Tried your guide for VGN-N but there still seems to be something holding the keyboard as I am unable to release the 5 tabs. So the trick is to keep prising the keyboard at the end where the 3 screws were and it will eventually unstick.
This is Khondker from Bangladesh. It was working fine for 4 months. But now a problem has appeared. The problem is — When I switch on or power my laptop. It starts. The power indicator light remains green.
But my Lcd screen appears black. I reinstalled my system, but no progress. At the time of booting, my screen shows light for 1 second, after that it remains black. If I plug other monitor it shows the screen there properly. But my laptop screen remains black. The bottom panel was easy enough to remove, but that only gets me access to the RAM and the Wireless card. Go to the device manager and find the webcam in there. Right click on the webcam and uninstall the driver.
Now reboot the laptop and let it detect the webcam and reinstall the drivers. This might help. I have a sony laptop pcg-9s1p, recently it bootup and go to the windows screen them shut down.

In our hands-on tests we found that the SR could handle multitasking about as well as the average thin-and-light. That time rose to when we did the transcoding while zipping our 4. Again, that's less than a minute off the category average in this case, it's At that resolution, the machine managed 29 frames per second.
At x pixels, the frame rate slowed to a crawl: 11 fps. Interestingly, while the Studio XPS 13 streamrolled the SR in 3DMark06, it didn't deliver similarly high frame rates in Far Cry 2 : it managed 26 frames per second at x resolution, and 10 frames per second at x Unlike some other business machines, however, the keyboard is not spill resistant. That price gets you a 2. The Dell Studio XPS 13 has even faster graphics for about the same price, and has a more striking design.
