Thanks

]]> Clean under TX keys - how? tag:https:,2007:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7395 2007-12-12T03:28:38Z BillB My left shift key is semi-stuck in the up position. I have to press down extra hard to get it to work. I suspect there might be a little dirt under the key.

How do I get under an individual key to clean it? I’m assuming the keys don’t pop out like on a desktop’s keyboard (right?), so what to do?

]]> T150P Bluetooth tag:https:,2007:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7303 2007-08-03T19:11:52Z gotelemetry hi there

i’ve just purchased a refurbished T150P with XP Professional sp2(legit) installed.  but, i couldn’t find “bluetooth devices” or similar such icon under “control panel”. one of the help site i looked had “bluetooth devices” icon listed under “printers and other devices”, but mine has “printers and faxes” icon instead and it doesn’t contain “bluetooth devices” icon. 

is “bluetooth devices” hidden somewhere? 

do i have to install some sort of driver?  if so, where can i find the driver (i’m thinking sony related help center….). 

thank you

sam

]]> MORE Problems with the TX laptop tag:https:,2007:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7265 2007-06-14T21:40:04Z leprikhan Ok i have officially had it with this lemon laptop. I have a TX750p/B and since yesterday i have noticed that the battery is not being charged through the AC adapter. I ran the laptop Just on the battery and it works fine, but when i take the battery out and connect the laptop via the AC adapter, it does not boot up at all…nothing happens.

    Second issue: I keep getting a message that “the DVDrw drive needs to shutoff” and would i like to do this?. I press ‘NO’ every time but then it pops up again after a few minutes.

    Can anyone explain these issues. Im not very technical. what can the the first issue be due to and what can be done to fix this problem immediately. Is this a motherboard problem or can this be some loose connector/cable that attches the AC jack to the motherboard.  My laptop is basically in great condiiton. I have replaced the screen due to a personal (i think) error.

    If anyone has faced the same or similar problems, i would appreciate any advice. As always, thanks all for any and every help. Cheers.

]]> Installing memory on a TX laptop tag:https:,2007:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7258 2007-06-10T14:24:49Z leprikhan Hey guys. This is gonna sound a bit “iphone boring”, but how on Gods green earth do you intsall additional memory on a TX. I have a sony vaio TX750P/B and i think it only came with 512MB RAM. I opened the memory port on the bottom of the laptop but it only has one slot (unlike the TR which had two 512mb slots)and it is already occupied with the factory installed 512mb. Even if i wanted to max out the ram at 1.5GB, would i have to open up the laptop?? Hope not, first a broken screen and now this. Might as well use it as a frisbee… But before i do,  Any help from any of the Gazillion TX owners would do. Cheers.

KK!

]]> Have big problems with drivers for T250p and Windows Vista, please help tag:https:,2007:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7256 2007-06-10T11:06:17Z osssmosis Ok, here’s the deal.  I did a clean install of windows vista on my T250p and am having major problems:
1.  I have installed the video driver and patch however, somehow the video driver uninstalls itself and prompts for re-installation after every reboot.  Very annoying and it fails to install sometimes.
2.  Sound doesn’t work even though the driver is installed
3.  None of the F Hotkeys, or volume controls, or dvd buttons work.

Now, I’ve installed the hotkeys drivers.  There are no unknown devices in the device manager, when I to launch the VCCMegabass.exe which is the in the Sony folder in my program files it gives me the message “You can’t launch”

I have read numerous forums trying to fix this, but feel lost, as I feel I’ve tried everything.  Can someone help?
Thanks!!!

]]> TX5 Compatible battery tag:https:,2007:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7191 2007-05-05T05:36:28Z bensaunders Hi,

I just bought a TX5MN (having fallen down the stairs with my T1XP destroying the screen and breaking something inside too!!).

The problem I am having is that I bought a ‘compatible’ battery from e-bay and when I install it, although it powers the laptop fine, a warning comes up telling me it wont work and I need to hibernate the machine and remove the battery! Is there a work around or can I not use compatible batterys with this machine?

Cheers

Ben
