replacement batteries - errors

2011-12-03T04:50:30-08:00

hi,

to leave my original sony battery ‘like new’, i mostly use two replacement batteries (2000mAh + 2200mAh).
they are a few years old and now running with low capacity (ca. 15 min running time), which - i think - is to be expected.

in the last weeks i ordered 2 new replacement batteries (2200mAh , ) from different suppliers.
both batteries didn’t work, showing the error code on led, impossible to charge them or even to power on the x505.

does anyone has made similar experiences ?

the strange thing is, that the new not working ‘error’ replacement ones look like the old replacement batteries (similar labels),
which work o.k. despite their low capacity.

i will now order and test a 2000mAh replacement battery (PSE Code : NSN017).
and i have discovered, that there is a new Denaq DQ-BP505-3 2400mAh battery out - but quite expensive shipping this to europe.

any suggestions, experiences or ratings are welcome.
a thank you in advance ....

Who here is running an SSD?

2010-04-02T10:50:01-08:00

How long has it been installed?

How much do you use the computer?

What brand is it?

Me and another member are having problems with our x505s frying SSDs. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this as well.

Replacing Power Cord (AC Adapter<—->TR), specifications needed

Hello Forum!
I need to replace the cord but I don’t know the specifications. What do you have in mind? I have a new plug already, works fine besides the short circuit in the cord.

Looking forward to see some replies from you

ZIF COnversion for TR3 - Been done?

2009-05-27T08:25:55-08:00

I’m going to upgrade to an SSD, and ZIF seems to be widely available and less expensive in the 1.8 format the micro-ide pata.

Has anyone successfully adapted the micro-ide PATA to ZIF?

USB ports not recognized

2009-04-09T12:17:51-08:00

Hi all:

I have a TR3-A that was running fine. I plugged in an apparently bad microdive into a USB port. Got shutdown and a black screen almost immediately. After several tries and about an hour the machine came back up. Problem is the USB ports do not function and I get an error message “device not recognized” with nothing plugged in. I’ve reloaded the drivers and even used recovery discs to rebuild the machine without success. Everything else works fine except for the memory stick reader. Any ideas? Fried motherboard or possibly just a daughter card?

Thanks

Vaio TR Owner Pictures Thread

2010-08-17T23:44:20-08:00

Thought it would be nice to make a little contribution to the existance of the Vaio TR series by posting a few user taken pictures, if you don’t mind of course, this has probably done before, but updated pictures don’t hurt anyone..

I’ll start by posting a picture which I just took of my TR a few minutes ago, please feel free to post your own pictures! I wouldn’t mind posting more pictures, but I would like to know if any one is interested in them before doing so.
