I am having is figuring out which SD cards are compatible with the inbuilt reader. I brought a class2 32gb SDHC which is not recognized. I am aware that such high capacity cards often are not, but had hoped in such a new system it would not be an issue.
Can anyone confirm the max sizes for both card slots, so that I don't go an buy a 16gb only for that not to register.
I just received my new Sony Vaio VPC-Z11X9E/B, on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Professionl 64 bits that went almost perfectly.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought a DV3 yesterday and it came with a P7350 CPU. I was wondering/planning a CPU upgrade in the future. But Im not sure which CPUs this notebook supports. The current one is a Penryn with 1066 MHz FSB. So does that mean any Penryn CPU with 1066 FSB ? Even the Quad Cores ? Theoretically thats is. Since I know the thermal envelope is too big for this laptops cooling.

It comes with 4GB of DDR2 RAM, but it's only running a 32-bit OS (or so the box says). Does that mean that only 3GB will be used?
if it does have a 64-bit version of Vista, there's another problem. My backup for my old system was for Vista 32-bit. Will this cause problems on a 64-bit OS? Microsoft support says that some models may face problems when running 32-bit backups on a 64-bit OS, but is this one of them?

I have an XPS 1330 and my wife has an older Inspiron 6000. The power cord on her Inspiron 6000 went bad. My adapter has an octagonal shape on it so it won't work with her notebook. However, my slim 3 in one travel charger does fit her notebook so we've been using that

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently, my adapter just stopped working. I went to my local computer service shop, they said that there is a cut in my cable.
So I asked them is there any replacement for it, and they showed me this charger where the Output is 19V, 3.4A (Inputs are similar).
On the back of my laptop, it says the Input is 19V, 4.74A. (I'm sure you guys are too).
So out of my curiosity, will the charger they offered me be compatible with my laptop? As I don't want my laptop to be damaged due to wrong charger.
Problems with Safari. This just started a few weeks ago. I keep having compatibility issues with my Hotmail and Safari 3.2.1 (the 4.0 is worse), I can't even open my hotmail messages 4.0. At first I thought it was MSN, so I contacted them. I'm pretty sure it's a browser issue.
It keeps inserting random question mark symbols throughout my outgoing Hotmail messages.
I've tried resetting Safari, deleting cookies... blah blah blah.... done all the updates.
It's annoying. I like Safari, and want to continue using it. I have Firefox and it works fine. Could my computer have a virus?
I have Camino too, but it won't let me put anything in the "subject line" when composing a new hotmail message. Very annoying.
Does anyone have a link to a website or PDF describing how to properly open and disassemble a VAIO VGN-SZ75GN?
I have a VAIO VGN-SZ75GN, bought about 8 months ago, and now I want to exchange the built-in hard-disc with a solid-state disc.
I need some guide with illustrations/pictures, how to reach the disc
I have just been given a VAIO PCG8A2M (GRX316MP) , i was told "it's broken but if you can fix it yo can have it" so having a quick look at it there's no sign of life on the display but the lights come on and i can here the HDD heads moving about.
Looking a little more i found that all the ram is missing , so now im not sure if its worth buying some ram to see if it works or not ? The lack of ram would prob explain the lack of display but i wonder if i should be getting POST beeps at least, which im not.
So my question is if a VAIO had no ram should (if all else was working) it be getting POST beeps ?
Just performed a successful XP downgrade on my Vaio Z520, but have noticed that on this copy of the Vaio Silver Desktop Theme/Appearance doesn't exist.

This is a repost of a thread I posted on tabletpcreview's forums. It seems like nobody there knows or the forum is on its way out- almost 100 views with no replies.
So the story is that I'm getting tired of plugging in 4-5 wires every time I go to class or want to study away from home, and a docking station would solve this problem. Unfortunately, the official XT2 mediabase that Dell support wants me to buy is $270. That's almost 25% the cost of this machine! (Part number H266H) There's also another part on Dell.com that might be $199. Either way, that's a lot of money for a pretty basic port replicator.
The other thing is that when I google "XT2 mediabase", the first hit is a Dell PDF of a manual for the XT2 mediabase. The part number indicated there is PR12S. However, PR12S is the part number for the XT mediabase as well! The PR12S can be ordered online for anywhere between $20-80, so I'd much rather buy it, if it works.
Can someone confirm (ie you own an XT2 and the PR12S or have access to these two parts) whether the XT2 can work mostly flawlessly with the PR12S? I can deal with bypassing an error message, but I need the ports to work. Mainly, the DVI, VGA, ethernet, USB, and audio.

I want to upgrade the ram on an older Inspiron 6400 from 1gb to 2gb. When I look online (including old posts on this site), it seems there are 2 options:
2 x 1GB Module 1024MB-533MHz DDR2-533 PC2-4200, 200p SODIMM; or
2 x 1GB Module 1024MB-667MHz DDR2-667 PC2-5300, 200p SODIMM.
Would my system be compatible with either types of ram? It currently runs 2 x 512MB 533MHZ DDR2-533 PC2-4200 .....
I will make this list more readable later. This is just a template to get me started.
Inspiron 9300
ATI X300
ATI X600
Nvidia 6800 go vanilla
Nvidia 6800 go Ultra (system bios mod; 9-cell battery; 130W adapter)*
Nvidia 7800 go GTX (system bios mod 9-cell battery; 130W adapter)*
Quadro equivalents to Nvidia 6800 series? (possible mod) .....
if DV5 series using the same battery as DV6 series?

What I was told when I called HP and from what I reasearched myself you can't just pop another HD in without encountering problems and even another dead HD. Is it the software in the laptop or are some HDs not compatible? Is there an HD that I can use without having issues? The old HD is a Samsung HM 121 Hl 120GB 5400 SATA.

my motherboard can support SATA III or not ?

I purchased some more RAM (4GB stick) for an eMachines E730 laptop but it blue screens when this RAM is inserted. It has an existing 2GB Ram Stick, but leaving that in or taking that out yields the same result when I add the new RAM. It boots fine when the new RAM is not installed, so it is obviously not compatible.
It is running v1.19 BIOS, I could update to v1.23 if it is a way to fix this issue but the info on that version shows nothing about memory fix. I am always loathe to doing a BIOS Flash unless it is absolutely needed.
I have also tried to do an update via the software update utility but it is not loading anything.
memory compatibility.
My notebook requires (or originally came with) 2 x 256 MB 533 MHZ DDR2 SODIMM Memory Module, but now I want to upgrade to DDR2 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-5300 (667MHz). This memory seems to be cheaper than the memory that is required for my computer so that is why I'd rather purchase it. I know the notebook will not allow the memory to run at that speed, but I wanted to double check on its compatibility.
I know it probably will work (90% sure), but getting a second opinion before a purchase is always better than after.
I would like to know if this hard drive is compatible with my 5315-2153? I am a little worried about the SATA 3.0Gb/s...
