Can I use both HDMI & VGA ports on a VAIO laptop?

HDMI & VGA ports are very close together on the VAIO Laptops.  This design is deliberate to prevent users from using two HDMI & VGA ports simultaneously. I'm trying to connect 2 external monitors to my VAIO.

Apparently, this is not a unique situation. I found dozens of conversations forum describing this problem. For example:

"Somebody found a narrow VGA connector? I have the same situation with one Sony laptop with a VGA and HDMI connector, just computer next to each other. I want to connect 2 monitors, but since they are so close, it's one or the other. The graphics card supports two monitors, so don't know why Sony would make it impossible to connect the 2 at the same time. "Posted by LDGrant on Windows Secrets Lounge web site.

Hi odbad1,

Unless you have a desktop Sony (not all in one), then Yes you can replace the video card.  But if you have Sony laptop, you CANNOT swap out.  Sony laptops have an integrated video card / onboard.  To change the video card is to replace the motherboard (and no, can not exchange for an another one-motherboard motherboard are constructed for this particular unit and plug).

  • Satellite P300-1GK - I can't use the S-video port

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop, I have a S-Video output. The problem is that there is something just in front. So I can't use it. Check the picture.

    http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1010027s.jpg

    How can I do?

    Hello

    Seems the specifications listed on the page are not entirely correct.
    Satellite P300-1GK supports TV-out but NOT s-video and Composite port!

    In addition, HDMI port output is available to connect the laptop to an LCD HDTV.
    But some other models support the s-video and that's why you can see a place for s-video port in the lid of the laptop

    I hope I could bring a precision!

    Good bye

    Can I use the Ethernet connections on airport express at the exit of music over wifi to a set of speakers?

    Sorry, but no.

    I don't want to use the PIN audio output on the Airport express, as it is analog

    Perhaps you weren't aware that audio port on the AirPort Express audio book Terminal analog or digital, according to the type of connector used. See this link on the AirPort Express specifications to confirm... http://www.Apple.com/Airport-Express/specs/

    In other words, for the Express deliver audio analog, connect a standard stereo mini plug with connectors appropriate to the other end.  To ensure that the Express deliver audio digital, plug a mini Toslink cable to the audio port on Terminal AirPort Express.  An example is in this link...

  • I have a Photosmart 3210 - Can I use the front USB port instead of port back? (back is broken).

    Hello!  Trying to help a friend.  Rear USB port no longer his plug slips outside, no electrical connection.  Tearing in the unit for her brief submeter (out of warranty, nothing to lose).  Can I use an adapter with a standard USB plug on each end to connect to a PC for printing?  The user manual is too vague on this - looks like front USB is just for PictBridge stuff.  Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    kott2ke

    Hello kott2ke,

    Front USB port: print photos directly from your camera or storage only.

    Rear USB port provides connectivity for printer and USB.

    Kind regards

  • can I use both optical and fiber sfp modules?

    Hello

    I have 2 stacked 3548 P PowerConnect switches. The top switch got uplink fiber of 1 MM (G1) to another switch in a different building. If the top switch has 1 free uplink port and the lower 2 switch free uplink ports. Recently, we bought 2 servers Poweredge R620 and I would like to connect them to the Gigabit ports. The 'normal' switch ports allow only 100 Mbit/s, so I plan to buy 2 modules SFP 1000Base-T (for copper) to connect to them.

    Is this feasible? Can I use G2 on the top switch for SFP 1000Base-1 T? Is this allowed?

    Kind regards

    Erik

    Yes, it's quite feasible. The connection will be configurable the same 100 Mbps ports. Here is a link to the part number for the 1000Base-T transceiver.

  • Windows Vista came with 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Can I use both on 2 different systems?

    Windows ultimate Vista

    Recently I bought windows vista Ultimate edition with additions of 32 and 64-bit. Can I use the 64-bit on my desk and the 32 bit on my laptop?

    Hello

    Laughing out loud

    Just a single license of Windows.

    You can choose which version you want to install 32-bit or 64-bit; but not as well installed.

    If you want to change the version of bits at a later date, you will need to backup your data and do a clean install.

    One Windows license is for a single installation.

    See you soon.

    Hi, I use PS CS 6 on Yosemite for a quite long time and quite satisfied with it.  It always meets my needs today, but I'm curious to know some of the new features of the elements (IE earthquake of the device).  I think remember me Googling on new versions of Photo Shop performing the old version and disabling its use.  What problems are are produced?  I hate losing CS 6 if items don't meet my needs.  My needs are not large enough to pay $120 a year for CC.

    Hi roses4me,

    You can certainly use the 14 elements and Photoshop Cs6 together.

    See the difference between the two who do you need? Photoshop elements Photoshop CC vs

    I think remember me Googling on newer versions performing the old version and disabling its use.  What are the problems occurred

    Elements 14 is also produced independent as CS6, so he can't change another membership/license
