Have used my txn daily for 2 years.. slow but love the size for portability. Booted up this morning and there's a purple-ish streak going down the right side of the screen. See 2 pics attached. (I've never attached pics so hopefully this will work).
Is this streak a sign the LCD is going bad or the graphics card going bad?
graphics = Intel 945 Express Chipset Family
I have a TXN29N and am in south africa, my ? is this, the vaio has wwan functionality linked to Sprint Mobile, obviosly I cannot use the sprint mobile service in south africa, can I use the wwan functionality here at all (on our mobile networks)? if so, how? on top of that the TXN29N has no simcard slot so how is wwan supposed to work (how do you connect to the mobile network without a sim)?
If you need to use an external modem (huwaei or such like) with a simcard in (like my previous laptop) then I don't understand why sony included wwan?
Does anyone know if this color is available in the US? I have searched for it on Google and yahoo, but I only get availability in Europe and Asia.

A stylish multimedia companion - dressed in Electric Purple. Sony has earlier offered this model, available in Liquorice Black, Cotton White, Caramel Cream, Spicy Red, Coral Pink.
Note that the CS-21Z series is being offered with Blu-ray Disc™ Combo drive, with the exact same specs as the CS-21S.
This model belongs to the "Lifestyle" line of Sony Notebooks, along with the P series. Others are "Mobility", "Multimedia", Vaio Professional" - give and take on terminology depending on the countries.
I came across this Electric Purple in late February 2009, whilst on projects in Hamburg, Germany. I was intrigued by the colour setting, influenced by the passion of my fiancée -thus a must-have present for her cancer fight. A call to a friend in UK led to a surprise learning that it was no so readily available, due to its "colour", and since I needed a UK keyboard (the lady still has issue with the weird German letters ), a wait of 3 weeks was in order to chase down the unit..............
i used a 100% cotton cloth and some warm water to clean my LCD. Now I have streak marks and dont now how to get them off. I think its 'runoff' cotton from the cloth. I have a bottle of Isontpoyl (wrong spelloing sorry) alcohol but havent used it. Was wondering how you guys manage to keep it streak free?

decided to open it up and check the connectors which a friend had recommended me to have a look at though im no technician but i noticed it had a triangular shaped screw i couldnt open because of that so at the moment im clueless what these screws are called?
I tied looking elsewhere seems many people have this issue?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, all the hyperlinks are "PURPLE". Go to google and search for something, and the blue links are gone; they are now "PURPLE". All the links on this page are "PURPLE"! It is so annoying that I'm about to send this computer back. The yellows and greens are intense also.
Go to yahoo.com, and the red in the yahoo looks PINK.
I tried messing around with the color setting in the Nvidia control panel to no avail.
Messing with the contrast doesn't work. Also, I have some pdf files I transfered over from the other computer that I made. All the title for each section were done in a navy blue. Well, those titles on this computer are purple.
Don't get me wrong, I can still see the color blue in some things. The color blue in the "edit, quote, multi-quote, quick reply" on the bottom right of this box is the blue I'm used to having my hyperlinks at. It doesn't matter what web browser I use; it could be firefox, IE, chrome, safari, it just doesn't matter.
is the sony FW35V(customizable) on the sony style uk site a 1920x1080 a dual lamp LCD?
it says 16.4" H1080 WXGA++ (1920 x 1080) Widescreen X-black LCD screen with built-in "Motion Eye" Digital Camera, but is it a 1920x1080 dual lamp, multiple lamp(how many?) orr single lamp? make sure its the fw35v not the fw35x. the fw35v is the one that costs £60 to upgrade the screen. the fw35x says HD1080 (1920x1080) X-black LCD with multiple lamp, which im guessing is a dual lamp LCD right? also is the Dual lamp worth it for £60?
what does it do? give brighter?, sharper?, more deep and rich colours? or something else?
I am considering some laptops and the sony vaio is one of them. I have heard great things about the screen but it is glossy, something I have sworn off all these years. I have seeing reflections on my screen. how the anti-reflective screen performs?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just bought a brand new Sony Vaio VPCF11M1E and I have the following problem:
Because in normal stand the screen is very small, I enlarged it to x150%. Everything becomes bigger, but the following parts are blurry and absolutely not sharp:
-Pop ups, of programs and of windows itself (like advanced settings of something and then a new windows pops up, that one is then totally blurry; you can read it, but it is not the good resolution)
-Google chrome (and with that, all the internet pages)
-The google chrome on the desktop is also very blurry, while all the others, are still sharp (after the enlargement by 150%)
I have tried everything (32 bits colours is on, cleartype is on). I also did a system restore to the first days I bought the laptop and then it was on 100% so the resolution was excellent, but then I put it on 150% and again, the parts I mentioned above, were blurry.
the fw series can be purchased with either the
16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900) or the
16.4" VAIO extra-wide HD display (1920x1080)
How much smaller is the text on the true HD screen? I will be using the laptop for charts so more pixels means more screen real estate means more charts. But if the text is difficult to read, then it is counterproductive.
Seeing the gridlines on the charts is also important so if I need a magnifying glass to see what's going on, then the TRUE HD screen is not worth it

View 9 Replies View RelatedSony no longer call the cheaper lower resolution screen as ECO screen. Instead, they simply call it "16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900)".
Does it mean that the lower resolution model has the same brightness and color richness as the higher resolution 1920x1080 model? It doesn't seem to be. From the item description, this is what they say .....
I have a SZ120P with the standard LCD screen which because of a recent fall cracked.
I got a good deal on a premium lcd housing and LED LCD so I thought I could use that to replace the screen.
I used the service manual to remove the old LCD screen and housing, and replace it with the new LED thin LCD and housing, but when I powered on, the LCD had no back lighting

View 10 Replies View RelatedSony Vaio FZ Screen
Overnight a problem with the screen on my Sony Vaio FZ has become apparent. A think multi colour bar had started to appear at the bottom of the screen. I am not entirely sure if the problem is related to the 8400GT graphics processor, I have had a preciously faulty one replaced which I hope reduces the likelihood that the graphics processor is the culprit. I am just going through now backing up my data in case the fault spreads further. My eye sight may not be sharp enough but it may have expanded.
Note that in the pictures attached it appears green but when I have something else up as wallpaper, or a program open, the colours change to reflect in some way what is on the rest of the screen. For example when I have word opinion the blue background appears black on the bar, the text area is a shade of grey. Also, my taskbar is not that thick. My available space on screen has not gone away as much as the fault bar suggests it should have, it is as though my screen has adjusted in some way.
MY SZ4 Model has the LCD panel not the LED and for some reason to me it seems like the brightness is not going to its full potential even though its showing all the Brightness bars, I'm not sure if this has to do with the LCD itself degrading over time(even though its only been 2-3 years) and the colours arent as sharp sometimes when im watching movies or TV series, so I was wondering if there is any type of software out there that can help me with sharpness or contrast that sorta thing.
No option for sharpness, brightness, contrast shows up in my nVidia Control Panel either, just manage your 3D settings and, Display options, very limited options.
If you go into Advanced options mode i do this these settings below in the 3D settings, are these settings okay as they are or should I change any of them?
I have recently bought FW 590FEB, after using it for 5 days, I got three times blue screen problem like this:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent the damage.

1st blue screen, windows 7 shut down unexpectedly
2nd blue screen, windows 7, don't really know since I went to out and find out when I start the pc, it said shut down unexpectedly,
3rd blue screen, windows 7 close/shut down by itself while i was running VLC and utorrent, and it when to the screen where we can choose start windows with safe mode or normal...
I don't know what is happening with this blue screen problem, since this is my first experience with this trouble,
Is it software/drive issue or hardware?
Should I restore it to factory setting?
I think it it shutdown by itself, every time i use Google Chrome and utorrent.....
I've reading the VAIO Z thread and quite a few people has experienced scratches on the LCD screen caused by the keyboard.
