Sony :: Newbie Here...getting Into VPC-W121 Bios

Nov 19, 2009

I've done some searches and many state that hitting F3 is the key I press to get into the bios but it's not working. I have a VPC-W121 that came with Windows 7 Starter. Want to install Ultimate edition to test, but will want to back up the image of the hard drive first.

Dell :: Newbie Needs Help With Drivers Please...

Nov 11, 2007

I've posted a few questions on this forum in the past and got the help i was in search of and now I'm in another pickle and i figured I would give this place a shot.
I'm trying to find the proper driver I should be using for my laptop's graphics card for gaming performance. I have searched the web and googl'd and what not. I even went to Nvidia's website and to the download drivers section they have, but could not find any drivers for my graphics card.
My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS --MobileForce M6 Enhanced--
My operating system is Window's Vista 32-bit...
If you all could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. As well, if you need any more information or specifications just ask me and I will try to figure them out.

Sony :: How To Backup Vaio Z Original Bios While Flashing New Bios

Oct 16, 2009

Updated: Found a better way to backup Bios only, Please see the end of this message

Let say your Vaio Z is using Bios R4040M3 and you move to Bios R4041M3 to use the official VT support. Later on, you want to move back to R4040M3 to use the Advance Menu hack. Unfortunately, you cannot move back as Sony never publish the R4040M3 Bios update. This is my current situation.

I decided to investigate a way to back up the current Bios. Using a program called Universal extractor, I managed to extracted the files in the original Bios update. The bios update uses a program called Insydeflash to flash the Bios. The Insydeflash uses a file called platform.ini to control its setting.

In the platform.ini file, there is a section called [FDFile]. The section [FDFile] has a parameter called BackupName. If we put in a file name here, the Insydeflash should save your current Bios into that file. Unfortunately, I cannot make it work with the Sony supplied Insydeflash. (version 3.38).

I managed to get the newer version of Insydeflash (version 3.72). The newer version has a new ini section called [BackupROM], as the following:

..........
[BackupROM]
Flag=0
FilePath=c:
FileName=....................

Sony :: Vaio BIOS

Jul 10, 2009

I am very close to deciding on Sony for my next machine.

Half of the people hate them. Half love them. Half the reviews say there are crap. Half say they are machines built by Gods.

It is a lot to sift through.

The WEIRDEST thing I have heard is about the BIOS and how it is not really a completely hardware controlled BIOS like most are .....

Sony :: BIOS And CD Drive

Jan 22, 2010

I'm having some strange happenings with my Vaio FZ of late. I took it apart a couple of days ago to clean it up and after re-assemebling and hitting the power button,

the computer wouldn't go past the initial "Vaio,Phoenix,Intel" screen. I tried a couple of hours later and it booted fine.

(Note, I've took it apart on two occasions before and have had zero problems after).....

Sony :: A VGN-FS850/W Bios

Jun 12, 2009

I have a VGN-FS850/W notebook. When I turn it on I can't activate the Bios screen. I've tried hitting the F2 key nothing happens. I've taken the memory out trying to trigger a bios event but that does not help. Sometimes it won't even show the Sony Logo.

It has a hard drive that has an lsass.exe error at boot-up.

I install a brand new HD and I get the same problem, can't get to the bios. I have scanned the drive for viruses. It a had a few minor ones but not Sasser as I suspected.

Is it possibly a bios battery that is dead.

Does anyone know why the bios what appear or what else could be the problem.

Sony :: New Bios R0270Y0

Dec 18, 2009

I got a Sony VGN- FW11E laptop the one with p8400 processor. Recently I updated bios to R0270Y0 from R0250Y0 in order to enable virtualisation since then my cpu runs to 100% of its speed 2.26mhz. I used different power profiles but the speed is stuck to 2.26mhz. I used different programmes to monitor the cpu speed however the results were the same.

Also the fan runs longer now.

Does anyone have the R0250Y0 bios?

Sony :: VT Enabled BIOS Available From Now

Oct 29, 2009

BIOS updates for many models to enable VT. Some showed up in US site, like FW590, but others are listed in oversea.

Like the FW290J that I have, can use R1100Y0 BIOS update. Basically look for last 2 characters of your current BIOS version then see what's available.

Here is a link from oversea:

Sony :: Z 5Gen Bios

Oct 23, 2009

Just saw the new Z in a local computer store. The bios version is R5030M3. The video driver is the latest one. The speed mode has no problem. (I will be very surprise if it has problem.) Sony definitely has the Bios and driver to make our Z work in Windows 7. I don't understand why they don't release them to resolve all the problems that we are facing in Windows 7 upgrade.

Sony :: BIOS For Model: VGN-SZ260P

Jun 21, 2009

I bought this laptop for about 2 and a half years and I got the extended warranty for 3 years. After I bought it about 3-4 months after I have called and asked for the BIOS password but they stalled and stalled and stalled and I never obtained it. Now I call again to ask for the BIOS password w/ all the information they are acquiring like receipt etc. Now they say that my warranty has expired. Are they not supposed to give all information of the laptop to the customer that purchased their products? I need the BIOS to reformat my OS..

Sony :: BIOS Error After RAM Upgrade

Jun 24, 2009

I had recently upgraded my RAM (laptop in sig.) from 2GB to 4GB. Now, once in a while when I boot up, a POST BIOS "Error 0232: Extended RAM failed at address line 21" error message is displayed. I can then either boot normally or enter the BIOS setup and the OS (Win 7 64-bit) is working normally and recognizes all 4GB of RAM. I dual boot with Vista 32-bit, which uses 3GB of RAM.

I did the Windows Memory diagnostic upon boot up and it didn't find any error with the memory. I searched online without any conclusive solution.
