Sony VAIO Multi Flip 15A - how access BIOS?

Hello!

I wonder what key opens the BIOS on this machine for the POST that I need activate Hardware Virtualization.I have tried F2 and F9, F10 or DEL (though I didn't hurry it fast or enough long), but after ten trials and without success, I thought I'd be sure that I am pressing the right key...

Thanks in advance!

After reading the notice (who would have guessed huh?), apparently holding the buttom sat down, while the machine is stopped allows access to the BIOS!

Please delete the post, if necessary, but I feel it might be useful for others

  • Sony Vaio 13 Flip do not charge to 3%

    Hello

    My Sony Vaio 13 SVF13N13CXB Flip will not charge when plugged in and remains at three percent. Battery icon says "plugged in, not charging."

    Charge light amber does not illuminate during usage and only flashes for a moment when I hit the power button to turn the computer on or off.

    Is there a boot program or process, that I have disabled potentially who charge controls of this laptop?

    A few days ago I installed the Iolo System mechanic and he disable programs a bit, so I don't know if it's what he does. I've been through, and it's not like I've disabled something vital...

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 in early November and there was no problems until a few days ago, so I do not think this update had no effect on the battery does not charge.

    I also tried the care function battery in the Vaio Control Center without result - I turned on and after-hours care function to try to revive the battery charges and neither have worked.

    I also disabled the computer and left it plugged in UAB and conversely the computer turned off and left unplugged overnight (this problem is ongoing since almost a week).

    I tried to solve this problem in Vaio Care and who does not, I even reset my computer.

    Is there a possibility of charge cable is defective and that's all that I have to correct, because that would be the simplest solution.

    And if so, where I acquire one of these load of the cables since these laptops on is no longer on the market?

    I hope this isn't my battery, aka, I hope I don't have to send for repair.

    Any input or advice is much appreciated. Thank you for reading.

    RESOLVED:

    I left my computer completely die in having not plugged and turn until he went into this weird reset mode where he was turning power on and off until he eventually just turned off for good. Then I plugged it it in and AHA! -the charging LED amber light turned on and the computer began to load. I think that the computer has become sensitive and he knew that he would die so he is healed itself to charge to stay alive (IE. He understood that I was killing and allowing it to become a brick, but it also has a will to live it fixed itself). I'm just glad, it doesn't have the arm and I worry about the internet connection because it can communicate with other sensitive machines and start to take over the world.

  • I am unable to find my Sony Vaio recovery disks. How can I get replacements to reinstall Windows Vista?

    original title: Download Vista?

    Crashed my hard drive with Vista and I can not find my Sony Vaio recovery disks.

    Can I download Windows Vista for free and install it using the key on the sticker?

    Hello

    It s no vista for free and legally download

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Portege Z930 15 X - How access BIOS?

    HI all, I have a Toshiba * Z930 - 15 X * and I cannot access the BIOS at all.

    I want to downgrade to W7, and it has been easy enough before Windows 8.
    I know that I have to follow these steps , and I would be happy, except that I can't access to this * BIOS. I tried all the keys F1 - F12.

    Does anyone has this model and can tell me exactly what work keys, or another way to access the BIOS?

    Thanks in advance!

    You must perform the full Windows 8, stop!

  • Flex 2-15: how access BIOS

    I bought a new Flex 2-15 online last week. The name of the model indicated on the back is "20405. Manufacture date is May 12, 2014. The User Guide refers to a "Novo Button", which is shown in the diagrams as being on the left edge to the right edge near the front. No location has a button any. The right side has a pin hole at the supposed location of button. A curved arrow icon is next to the pinhole. I have an idea, maybe it's a kind of reset factory button. The Novo button is missing, what is the procedure to access features that the manual says are accessible by pressing this key does not exist? In other words, BIOS and/or that borders image backup/restore system?

    Comment to Moderator: The topic is edited to match the content.

    Please take a look at page 9 of the manual. Only the Flex2-14 models have the novo button (point 7) on the left side near the input jack audio combo (point 6).

    Manual page 10 shows the left side of your Flex2-15 with no opening button / next to the input jack audio combo (point 7), and manual page 15 shows the right side of your Flex2-15, exactly like your image.

    Have you tried gently, use a paper clip into the opening to see if it is just a recessed button?

    Kind regards.

  • Cannot access BIOS when OS disk encrypted w / Bitlocker, starting on the USB key is not unlock disc

    Hello

    I enabled Bitlocker on my Acer Aspire 5315. The system partition is encrypted and the data partition. My motherboard doesn't have a TPM chip, so I opted for the unlock with a USB key.

    When I start the PC or wake them from their hibernation, the splashboot (with the logo of Acer) BIOS screen does not display the information below on how to access the BIOS (press F2) or the boot menu (F12). And therefore I can't access those as I used to.

    BitLocker does not account for the USB key, then asks for the password to unlock the HARD drive. Then Windows starts very well.

    However, restart (by a Windows or after you have entered the wrong password Bitlocker too many times), the BIOS splash screen is normal (with how access BIOS and boot menu), I can access BIOS by pressing F2 AND succesfully Bitlocker unlocks the HARD drive with the USB flash drive without having to ask for the password.

    So, my question is how Bitlocker unlock the HARD disk automatically via the USB when the PC starts?

    Thank you for reading.

    Note: I posted this question on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprosecurity/threads they suggested that I ask the Acer support.

    Thank you also get answers in the TechNet forums.  I'm sorry that you were unable to get a more complete answer it.

    We suggest that you uninstall BitLocker and decrypt the drive to determine if this restores your ability to access the BIOS.

    ====================================================================

    Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
    (as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery
    problems.

    Control Panel control - plan change Options - power plans - power - advanced settings
    Parameters for the drainage and the use of parameters (this is how much to use and not how much or how)
    long to load).

    In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With
    systems today, the premiums is not a problem.

    Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

    Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
    eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
    them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
    Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

    New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
    However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
    When this is possible.

    I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the

  • How to disable caps lock / disable the notification of the computer laptop sony vaio

    I want to disable caps lock / enable pop-ups in the computer laptop sony vaio.

    Whenever I press Caps while using an application full screen like any game, it brings me back to break my game or as the desktop application.

    I tried to do this using easy access in the Control Panel, but it did not work.

    Please tell me how to do it. I pasted a picture here so that you can get a better idea

    The image of what appears:

    THIS PROBLEM IS WHEN CONNECT BLUETOOTH TO YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR KEYBOARD, BUT IT IS FEATURES RATHER USELESS INCORPORATED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPUTER.
    IF YOU HAVE A DELL, LENOVO OR ANY OTHER BRAND, YOUR SOLUTION CAN BE OF THE USELESS "" QUICKSET. "." EXE"PROCESS.

    WELL, after days of looking for a specific response from VAIO, finally I came with a solution for VAIO users whose computer is equipped with a receiver to blue tooth ATHEROS.

    1 - type "regedit" in Start-Run menu to open your registry database.
    2 - navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATHEROS\VistaAddOn\KBNotify
    3. - the value of '0 '.
    Close regedit, restart your computer and you're done.
    Be careful not to change anything else in your registry, unless you know what you're doing.
    FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION TOOK ME SEVERAL HOURS, SHAME ON MICROSOFT AND SONY, IT IS THE MOST STUPIDEST USELESS FILM THAT I HAVE EVER MET.
    If your bluetooth receiver isn't ATHEROS, simply look for the brand name of your receiver instead of 'ATHEROS' and look for a similar register, it may look like 'BTTray', 'BTNotify' or similar.
    Good luck

  • Sony VAIO Flip 13A orientation is backwards?

    My Sony VAIo Flip 13A has exhibited strange behavior of the end.

    When to place the laptop computer in tablet mode, the screen changes its direction to head down.

    I don't know how else to explain there what is really weird is that if I place my finger so that is the folded cover and the screen itself the rights screen itself is fine, but the miniute I get out my finger (don't laugh) and let the screen falling back in his natural position of Tablet, the screen goes backwards.

    I don't remember that happening before.  I had updated all the drivers needed and updates and finally upgraded to 8.1 Windows and while I still have a boring endangered mouse unless I restart 2 times, I now get this orientation to the increase in question.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
