Sony Vaio F Series Screen Colors Brushed Out

Hi, Im running Windows 7 Home Premium on my Vaio VPCF235FG, I did windows recovery but the colors seem brushed out. I did update my Nvedia Driver but still same issue. I did some researches on google and I found out it has to do with Monitor LED not getting enough power to give full color depth something like that, but I dont know which driver or software patch I have to download to fix this issue. Please help

Hi Hu22aM,
Welcome To Sony Community!
We're sorry to hear this. I have few questions for you to help me understand what's really going on.
When did it star to happen?
May I know why you needed to do windows recovery? Is this when the computer went back to factory setting?
If so how did you do it, was it using a recovery disc or through the partition ?
Let's try to isolate the issue
Turn of the laptop
Go to BIOS by repeatedly hitting F2 right after you turn it on (was the color brushed out)
If the screen color is the same then it means that it's a hardware issue (repair is needed
If screen if normal, then go to the Sony website and update the drivers and software.
Unfortunately, we are unable to assist customers outside of the US. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

Does the SONY VAIO F Series SVF15412CXB support dual channel memory?

Does the SONY VAIO F Series SVF15412CXB support dual channel memory? Or does it only have one slot?
I'm curious if I can put a second stick of RAM in there for dual channel performance.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. Can you please double check that for me, or post a link to the documentation where you saw that? I asked this question on Newegg, too, and one of the respondants heard differently:
"i found out from sony that there is only 1 slot cause i was gonna get 1 more 4GB stick of ram for 8Gb. So iwas upset about that cause i have to get 8GB now and it costs 100$ for an 8Gb stick of ram on ebay. So this ram is expensive. So im sticking with 4Gb for now. This is a very good laptop though. I use it primarily for minecarft and steam and i get around 100 fps on minecraft so its good. I hope this helps." It's just confusing because other laptop advertisments I've seen openly stated how many RAM slots the computer had and how many were used upon purchase. I haven't found anything like that which makes me think that there's only one slot for RAM. Thanks,Gremark

Upgrading Sony Vaio E Series HDD to SSD

I want to upgrade my Sony Vaio E Series Hard drive to a SSD and was wondering what type of SSD I should get since ive heard that certain ones will not work with this laptop.
Thanks

Any SSD should work fine in that notebook. I would reccommend a 256 GB Crucial M4. All you have to do is make recovery discs with the Sony system software, copy all your personal files, favorites, and preferences to a flash drive, have the SSD installed, and then use the recovery discs to rebuild your system. Once you do all that, you just copy your stuff off the flash drive and install all the software updates.

Can IInstall OS X Snow leopard on my Sony VAIO E-series?

I just recently well literally today got delivered my OS X Snow leopard installation disk and I was wondering is there a way to install Snow leopard on my Sony VAIO E series SVE1512K1EB because I want to make a hackintosh :3 Now I know Apple is against this an all but I just would like to experiment. when I openthis up I only see this (see photo below)
Now as you can see from the pic I it says bootcamp and stuff and the setup application did nothing to be honest. Have I actually bought the
official Snow leopard OS because the DVD only
says 800Mb which is nothing and a mac OS is
normally 5GB. Can I have some help? because
Miscrosoft support said come here lol and I really want to install this cool OS on my partitioned HDD
specially named Snow leopard lol. I have tried fooling around with the BIOS and I have restarted and seen if the PC said "do you want to install..." but no luck and the disk drive does rev up like something is going one but nothing. Can some one please just help me? :3
Here is another picture of my laptop and the OS ontop.

No, there is no way to do this. OS X drivers will not be compatible, and it violates the OS X license.
This is an Apple site, so we will not help you with hackintoshes. You need to seek help elsewhere.

Sony Vaio FZ Series - LCD brightness

Hi All,
I have recently bought a Sony VAIO FZ11S and I've successfully installed Archlinux:
Fully working:
- CPU Scaling (using cpudyn)
- Multimedia keys (mute, volume up/down, play/stop, etc. using Xmodmap)
- Wireless (using iwl3945. Can't connect with AP with hidden SSID)
- Nvidia GeForce 8400M (using latest nvidia drivers with stock arch kernel 2.6.23)
- Audio (after adding 'options snd-hda-intel model=vaio' to /etc/modprobe.conf. MIC not tested yet)
Untested:
- bluetooth
- SD/MS card reader
- Video camera
NOT WORKING:
- LCD brightness adjustment: FN+F5/F6 are detected correctly by acpid but nothing happens. I'm using the module sony-laptop included with kernel 2.6. Folder /sys/class/backlight is empty. I can use nvidia-settings to change COLOR BRIGHTNESS but this is NOT a good solution IMHO. I'd like to get the same capabilities I get running Windows Vista. (change LCD backlight).
I've read somewhere it is a problem common to all laptop with the same NVIDIA videocard. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've also tried with latest nvidia beta drivers with no success.
- Hibernate/suspend. I tried with pm-tools to suspend/hibernate laptop but nothing is working correctly. I didn't investigate further. Has anyone got a quick solution for this?

I recently bought a Sony FZ180, almost identical stats and hardware.
I tried all the same suggestions, which worked fine on my old laptop, but will not for this one. If anyone can think of another method to control the backlight I would be grateful.
Also, I tested the SD slot, the TI driver recognizes when a card is inserted, but no devices or mount-points are created.
tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1
tifm0 : demand removing card from socket 0:1
(The second line is from me removing the card, not a defective slot.)
Everything else works great, though. Arch boots to a full KDE desktop much, much faster than my cleaned-up vista partition. I'm really happy overall.

Anybody know why my Sony Vaio S series won't recognise my iPhone 3GS ?

I just bought a Sony Vaio S with Intel i5 chip, however when i plug in my iPhone 3GS absolutely nothing happens. The phone doesn't even charge - I've checked the cable with my old Dell and it works . I've downloaded the latest iTunes and can't seem to work out why I'm getting zilch from the laptop? I've tried all 3 USBs on the thing but still no good.
I'm pretty tech-stupid but would appreciate any help .Thanks

Can i change the processor ? Sony Vaio E Series

Hello I have a Sony Vaio Model sve1513b1ewIt has a Intel Pentium 2020M Processor Can i be able to change the processor to a i3 or i5 ?

Hi gasspari,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
We do not advise Vaio users to upgrade or modify certain parts of their units, especially the processor. It is still possible but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any issues. Another thing is, your Vaio SVE1513B1EW is not a U.S. model and we have limited information about your computer.
For further assistance, or any other concern, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

Have a Sony Viao E series and get an "imcompatible display driver" error message

Get an "Incompatible Display Driver" error message when attempting to use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on a Sony Vaio E series laptop.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks

I Googled, and Sony says that is a discontinued model, so I can't find a specification page
Amazon does have a couple models, and BOTH say motherboard integrated Intel graphics adapter
That makes me think the laptop discussed here has Intel AND AMD graphics adapters
To the OP (Original Poster) Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
If YES, read below

Sony vaio blue screen

so i just got a sony vaio after best buy junked out my old laptop which was shipped out 2 times for repair for a total of 8 weeks. I'm a college student, and this happened right before finals. now, my new vaio is getting the blue screen at least 2 times a day, and I have midterms next week. I called best buy and they said that they have to ship it out again for 6 weeks. By that time its goin to be the end of the semester again. Are there any other options for a quicker fix on the laptop?

If you can post the error message(if you can catch it) one of us can look it up and give you an idea as to what's causing it, and possibly if there's a fix.
Does it do it right at startup, or after it's been on for a while?
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Problems with Illustrator CC 2014 in Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen.

Hello to everybody!
Some times ago Adobe has updated Illustrator to CC 2014 version and now it support touch pressure\pan\zoom in Windows 8 tablets. I have Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen with pressure-sensitive support.
I was extremely disappointed that the brush in new version does not work correctly. Watch the video please that I did specifically for the demonstration.
I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 for comparison. In the old version the brush is works correctly. You must do a lot of clicks to start the brush in CC 2014 version (please see video). What causes of the problem? Please help me!

you cannot create folders for photos on the iPod Touch. you must currently do it on a computer by syncing the iPod with a photo program, and creating folders within that program and syncing them over. kinda stupid, but hopefully they'll fix it in an update soon.
