Impossible to reformat the computer after the OEM disc error: check the model number.

Original title: Updated Windows and now I can't reformat my Sony Vaio... why?

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NR110E, only thing replaced was the battery, so no problem of "tattoo", but the software, discs and OEM disks say "check model number", won' t reformat the computer and install the factory specifications... Not called Sony, they have no idea because they are Sony.  Looking for people online say it happens after a windows update.  the model number is always in the BIOS, but don't know what model number, it's the computer for some reason any.

How can I get it to reformat or should I switch to ubuntu if I reformat?

I think the best is to start a thread here:

Because I don't have a Vaio, there's not much I can do to help you. I'm sorry.

  • Where is the model number?

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Sandisk Sansa Clip 2 GB, but after a week using it no longer lights if it is always recognized by my computer. I understood (by reading the topics on this forum) that unity is the default, or it will not just hold the load. Given that I'm not a big computertech me I decided to call Technical Support of Sandisk and I read the topic with things you need to know before calling the.

    Now my question: where can I find the model number? And all the other numbers, I need also?

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your reply,

    I tried the reset but it still died

  • How to identify the model number Toshiba Satellite A210

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A210, now, I would buy an extra RAM. On all the Ive visited the site, they ask for a little more information. They ask for a Satellite A210...
    I looked at the sticker on the bottom of the laptop, but that only shows the A210. My model number is PSAFGA-078019. Where can I find what is supposed to come after the 210?

    Thank you

    Hello

    All information must be posted at the bottom of the unit.
    There are a few labels including details such as the model number, serial number, etc.

    But to be honest that the Satellite A210 PSAFGA 078019 is not a European Toshiba model.
    It s possibly an Australian / New Zealand series.

    I googled for the number PSAFGA-078019 and get some information.
    It seems that the laptop is called Satellite A210/801

    However, the laptop should support the same modules as the other units A210 and compatible modules supports these specifications:
    * DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM *.

  • HP laptop: enter the model number and get a "game too many results.

    My HP laptop dies after 6 weeks. When I contact support, he asks the model number. I enter: say "15-ay041wm" is what the box and laptop. I get a reply that says.

    "Sorry, too many results match your search for 15-1y041wm.

    "So I try HP Notebook, I get the same mesaage above, except with the HP laptop ' instead of '15-ay041wm.

    Because no matter where I'm going, he wants the model number and I give, I can't help. No cat, no nothing.

    So someone can tell me how to get support?

    If HP is unable to handle the number of model of it's own computers, so I'm not very confident.

    Here are the free support number to call in the USA/Canada... 1 800-474-6836.

    Now here's another question, you can report to HP on if you want...

    You must stay online and listen to the automated assistant trying to talk to you to talk to a representative... visit the HP website... go to this support forum (which has no official presence in HP), etc.

    After a minute or two, the Assistant to say, if you can't get online, will stay on the line to speak to a customer services representative.

    This is when you will have the opportunity to speak with a support person and report the problem to open a pension case.

  • Retrieve the model number

    To follow my state of repair, it is necessary to know your model number.

    But, I don't know.

    When I called the Technical Support I gave '6885-CTO' and I was told "this is the type of universal machine but I recover this with computer", however they never gave me the right model number.

    I searched a lot of solution to retrieve the model number.

    When I used the tool "Check Warantly State". He gave me "6885-CTO" too.

    It is also write the same model number in the "details of shipping unit.

    Find the model with the serial number?

    Should I call technical support again?

    For your information, my computer is a ThinkPad Edge E531 with an Intel Core I5 processor.

    Thanking you in advance for your help.

  • How do you know the model number for my iPod Touch?

    I need to find the model number for my iPod Touch - this is not about documentation or on the device itself.

    I need to find it to buy a protector screen for her.

    The screen protects tend to be sold by the name of generation, no model in my experience.

    Protections that correspond to the 5th generation will adapt the 6th gen (and iPhone 5 screen covers are so because they are the same dimensions)

    The 4th generation iPod is smaller than the 5th or 6th gen.

    Having said that, the settings, General, about will give you your model number

    It can also be printed on the back of your device, but the print is teeny tiney and almost the same color as your case (I need loop a jeweler to see mine)

  • Satellite Pro A300D - what is the model number for the keyboard?

    My husband managed to dislodge a key on my keyboard CAP and broke the clip white scissors that holds up on... (don't ask me how)

    He spoke of the authorized service center here in Norway and they sent us replacement scissors tongs (actually they sent an old non-functional keyboard), but the clips are of a different design to those on my laptop.

    I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.

    I really don't want to have to replace the entire keyboard when it's just 1 scissor clips which is broken... the laptop is only 5 months old.

    Here are some pictures of the scissors clamp in question and where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry for quality)

    Thank you

    notsure

    Hello

    Boyfriend sorry but it is not possible to exchange a few individual keys on a keyboard, so in this case, you must replace the full keyboard. But normally, it shouldn't be so difficult.
    Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the laptop to the authorized service provider.

    The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP! They can order all the parts of Toshiba and they should know the right part number.

    Good bye

  • How can satellite M30x, I find the model number?

    Hello
    need to get the drivers for my old Toshiba Satellite M30x *. The stickers below are washed out and I can't read the model number more.

    How can I know the model number to get the right drivers?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    I checked the Toshiba download page and for Satellite M30x it is a model only PSA72E.
    So just visit download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.
    When you open the download under product type area, select option ARCIVE and you will find the drivers for your model laptop.

    If you have any other questions please let us know.

    Good luck!
