I want to disable bluetooth, like how I do it with my dell, in the dell, I just go into control panel => bluetooth devices => bluetooth settings,
and then on the first tab, there's an option to "show system tray icon" and "disable bluetooth adapter".. when the system tray icon is enabled, I can right click on the icon and select "disable bluetooth adapter
Since Intel has released it's latest mobile CPU's, can we expect any new Sony models?

Anyone knows if there is a big difference between the Z46 with Intel P9700 and Z45 with Intel P8800?
Would speed and heat be noticeably greater with the P9700 processor?
P.....8"......1600 x 768
W....10.1"..1366 x 768
X.....11.1"..1366 x 768
Z.....13.1"..1600 x 900..*1920 x 1080 (*hoping someday available in US!)
Y.....13.3"..1366 x 768
CW..14".....1366 x 768
E.....15.5"..1366 x 768
NW..15.5"..1366 x 768
F.....16.4"..1600 x 900..1920 x 1080
Couldn't find a comparison chart of this, so I made one just for reference.
I'm set on getting a 1080p display in my next laptop and so far, Sony has the best choices! This is coming from someone who has purchased or influenced the purchase of about 17-18 Dell laptops.
I have been waiting for the Vaio Z to be refreshed with a new and improved graphics card, i was hoping by the summer as other pc makers are doing this. Do you think Sony will use the new ATI 4000 series or the new nvidia series? Will it get refreshed by the summer?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've been busy downgrading my FW31ZJ (european model) to windows XP SP3.
I have found and installed the drivers for all components and things went smoothly, up until the point where I wanted to get my Fn-keys working.
This is where I got stuck initially and after much forum lurking I found the right Sony utilities to install, the order to install them in and so on (it is all on this forum).
Basicly you need the following components for your machine.
- Sony Firmware Extension Parser driver
- Sony Programmable I/O Controller driver
- Sony Shared Library
- Sony Utility DLL
- Sony Utility Settings
- Vaio Event Service
You also might have to copy the VESConfig.ini from the original Vista install.
I read here that for most this has worked well and offered full fn-keys functionality under XP. Unfortunately I'm not of you...
1. How do I control the duration for which the backlight keyboard lights are on.
2. The ambient light detector keeps dimming and brightening my screen when in a complete dark room. How to fix this?
3. How to turn on or off the green power light button?
I have a new spare keyboard for my e6400. I need to sell it and was wondering what other models would it fit. e6500 and e4300 maybe?..
what would be an honest price?
I'm wondering if I am the only one, but I had 2 SXPS16, an original and a replacement,
both were shipped with A08 bios, both seemed pretty hot to the touch like everyone talked about (still not unbearable, just a little uncomfortable) but this new one that was shipped with A10 bios seems way more manageable,
so manageable i don't even think about heat anymore, in fact it has been on my lap for the past hour and a half and no more hot than my 3 year old toshiba
you've probably heard it told to you time and time and time again, that there is no way to upgrade a dedicated GPU on a notebook.
But as an Acer owner, you may very well be among the lucky few who CAN upgrade their GPU, since Acer has used the MXM standard on its notebooks for quite some time now.
(For a primer on what MXM is, go have a look at the best resource online for MXM.)
But if your system came with any Intel GMA, it cannot be upgraded. NO EXCEPTIONS.
This topic will list which notebooks are CONFIRMED to be MXM-capable, as well as what slot they have, and what cards they were originally sold with (consider those safe upgrades). Any successful new-card upgrades will be linked to alongside the model.
A later post will document all the MXM cards that Acer has issued - although it's possible to use cards from other vendors, it's safest and more likely to be compatible if you stick with an Acer issue.............................

I can never find any in Ireland/UK/Europe. Which models in specific carry the 6 cell battery.
Would it be at all cost effective to get a cheap Aspire One and a seperate battery?
I noticed that some of the Aspire model numbers come suffixed with 'G' and 'Z', such as 4930G and 2920Z.

Dell, is it possible to configure 1564 with a different keyboard? I even prefer the 1545 raised keyboard.
It's more old school (bb guy said it would collect dust under keys more), but it's easier to use. Does anyone know if the insp15z has a keyboard with raised keys?
Anyone else find the big flat keys harder to use? Is there some advantage to these, thus Dell made the change? I wasn't wild about the Sony chicklet style either. Lenova seemed easiest to me of the ones I tested in BB.
My memory only goes back as far as the E1505 (The silver one with white outlines), then the Inspiron 15 with the silver and curved edges and now the nice shiny black ones..
View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to disable the infrared sensor on an XPS 1645?
I ask as I often use the laptop while also watching a media pc and the remote control operates both the laptop as well as the media pc and it's damned annoying.
All of the items referring to the infrared receiver in the device manager can't be disabled so other than sticking a piece of tape over the sensor does anyone have any ideas?
but i jsut can't seem to find my brain today...

View 10 Replies View RelatedIs this due just because of LED? Seems pretty crappy the 14" gets about 2 hours on a 6-cell battery and the 13" gets 6.
I wonder if they are planning on redoing the dv4 line to get LED displays if this is the reason?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFew days ago I tried to update the bios and something went wrong. Now my Timeline 5810T is piece of hi-tech scrap.
I tried many ways to recover bios with Fn+Esc tricks using CD and usb flash with sort of different filenames (BIOS.WPH, jm31x64.fd, ICL50HW.fd, ...), but i'm not happy yet.
It seems, that the old finesses doesn't work with x810 Timeline series with Insyde bios inside. After many hours with uncle Google, it seems that nobody on the planet know the right way.

View 10 Replies View Relatedhow the Intel HD Graphics 4000 is covering all my needs perfectly for the moment, I would prefer to disable the NVIDIA dedicated GPU in my Lenovo Z400 for a while.I've already went to the control panel and set the Global Settings for integrated but it still turns on (for a very small amount of time) every now and then.
From my research I would guess I would do it by: (Windows 8)Disabling the "NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M" driver in the Device ManagerSwitching from "Switchable Graphics" to "UMA Graphics" in the UEFI settingsI would like to know/confirm if:"UMA Graphics" means the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in my caseThe NVIDIA GPU will not actually turn on and generate heat/consume energy.
