  • Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F not illuminate, no LED light with battery cable or power supply

    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-NW270F, it is quite dead. No led light, no boot, nothing. No lights with battery or power cable. I did some research:

    1. I did press the button power for 60 seconds, nothing. (Battery and cable not plugged in)

    2. I replaced the DC power jack in my research, it is said that the laptop can turn off completely if the plug or the charging circuit has problems. The motherboard looks fairly integrated, I do not see a power billing for the circuits that may be outside the MB.

    3. I plugged a different power cable, nothing.

    4. I can't find a replacement MB online which is less than $1,000.

    5. I see not all covers of breath, or a repair kit online.

    Anyone, has any idea what should I do then? And for sarcastic readers of this post, yes I know. But rampage it seems such a waste... Even for a computer dead.

  • VAIO® laptop ComputerModel # VGN - CR420E.

    I reformatted and installed win 7 64 bit on this device and re-put in service with all the software needed and other. It works great except for the camera. The software for win 7 NOT WORKING! I initially contacted direct supprot and got a sales pitch... clean my computer. Well, Ive been doing it since about 1995 and the computer was fine. Any way Im spend this kind of money. Give it to me * driver that works. Never did. So, maybe someone here has an answer? Support for Sony seems to care. Thank you!!!

    Hello Robert,.

    Welcome to the community of Sony.

    I personally recommend allows you to perform an upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit instead of a clean install, so you don't have to reinstall all drivers/software.  However, if you chose to do a clean install of Windows 7, then please follow all the steps from the link of the statement below.

    Hello

    You will probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera control software.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Perhaps that the eggs have hatched and the webcam has been removed.

    The problem is not just about anything on your computer.  You have to ask the person who is the owner of the webcam.

    The 404 or not found error message is an HTTP standard response

  • Integrated motion Eye webcam does not work after installation of own Windows 7 64 - bit (Sony VAIO VGN-AR770)

    Hi, I'm having so much worse for my webcam to work again after a clean installed Windows 7 64-bit (I used to run 32-bit vista). I searched the net and found many many people with the same problem but no solution yet that works for me. My last attempt:

    I manually installed these drivers recommended on this forum: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/1135698.htm

    With the help of the method 'have disk '. Installation seemed to happen, but no program does not recognize my webcam. Skype, for example, seems to work, but the video is just black.

    In Device Manager > features the webcam is listed as "RY5U870/VGA-CAM F01_UVC of Imaging.
    "and noted that"this device works fine."" Many people have suggested to try to download the originals and installation using Vista compatibility, but I can't get these drivers to 64-bit, and when I download the 32-bit drivers, unfortunately they do not work.

    I understand that I hit a wall here on my laptop model Sony support (now obsolete), but I feel that there must be a work around that people found out there somewhere. Can someone help me get my webcam goes again?

  • SONY Vaio VGN-AW360J will not power

    Hi all

    I'm new to the Group of users, and this is my first posting.
    I have a SONY Vaio VGN-AW360J, the keyboard is for quite awhile, buggy not allowing the good boot-up, lock up, creation of random key entries and sorting. I found that if I opened the laptop, access to the slick KB then disconnect and reconnect it LT would work normally until I later had to reboot for some reason any. I ordered an exact replacement KB and I'm waiting for delivery is however now the LT does not power on at all. I checked the presence of 19.5 VDC at the level of the connector on the main Board after taking power, but don't know where else to check even if I can with my simple digital multimeter. I did all the procedures proposed on the site of Sony support without change.

    The symptoms are the following: no indication of power to the power switch, no green light. DC power is present on all four positions at the level of the connector PCB (PCN1). There is no change with or without the defective original keyboard connected and no change with all removable devices disconnected i.e.: CD/DVD drive, hard disk and RAM all removed from the main Board.

    Then, Oh, my darling Sony Vaio is completely dead in the preverbal waters of my digital life. My big question is, does anyone have knowledge of this problem and is at - it no reasonable or logical hope through the necessary repairs, if any?

    TKS,
    Dave S.

    Sorry for this Santec,

    I just explained on my post that the issue is already material. I'll also send you a private message for the info. Here's the correct link: https://community.sony.com/t5/VAIO-Hardware-Networking/How-do-I-get-assistance-with-my-VAIO-Laptop/m...
