i am about to move to canada from ireland for one year and want to bring my sony vaio laptop (VGN CR21/L) with me.....does anyone know if i'll need to bring a voltage converter with me or if i can just plug into the plug adapter and go?
View 4 RepliesI was installing something and my laptop crashed. Now since I have the voltages set too low. I can't get myself back into windows. How can I reset the voltage during bootup?

If not, is it possible to buy one that works in America? Also, does anyone know how sales tax in Japan works?
looking to push my overclock past 700mhz now since my gpu is going to be getting a custom fan and copper heatsink. Whilst experimenting I found that past 700 the temperature no longer matters, the voltage simply isn't high enough. But I don't know of any software way to change this...
Anyway I can get it above the 1.32V for the gpu? looking at maybe 1.38-1.4.
Besides that if temperature even became an issue I'd experiment with liquid nitrogen, which being a chem student I can get pretty easily . It's a lot of fun to play with.
I'll be moving to South America in a few weeks and I want to know if I can use my HP DV6700t there. The voltage in South America is 240 and I don't know if I could fry my laptop if I use it there or if I'd need an plug adapter or a converter.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed two new memory modules (4 GB each) but my laptop only recognizes one of them. I've tried researching how to change the RAM voltage in BIOS to see if that will allow the laptop to recognize both memory modules but can't find out how to do so.
How to change the RAM voltage in BIOS (specifically from 1.5V to 1.6V).
I have problem with High CPU Frequency and Voltage when set on High Preformance, frequency is over 3,2 GHZ, and Voltage is 20+ Wat, even if CPU usage is from 0 to 10 %.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have purchased two laptops here in the US which are the HP Envy Touchsmart (model no. m6-n015dx) and HP Pavilion (model no. 17-f115dx). I will be taking these to be used in Ireland (Europe) and am just enquiring whether these laptops have built-in internal voltage converters to deal with the eextra voltage.
I have picked up two Irish plugs to run into the charger adapter/coonverter (not sure exactly what it is called)
First post here...
Here's the deal, my 600m won't charge the battery anymore and will not run off of the power cord.
The power cord is showing 19.5v which is correct.
The back of the power adapter jack on the mobo is showing about 3.5v when plugged in and the two outside pins that charge the battery are only showing about 0.02v. Is this normal voltage or do you think the mobo broken?
I'm not really sure which of the battery charging pins to check the voltage from and can't find a diagram of it anywhere.

View 6 Replies View Relatedhaving a hard time deciding between these two. I think in the end it'll come down to which screen size I like better.
But anyway, I was reading the review on the CS here and it says the battery lasted just under 4 hours but there's a higher capacity battery.

Anyone else experiencing something similar? No one else has brought it up for this new Z so I was wondering if I'm just a minority (granted the laptop is new and not many people have it yet)
I am in Shanghai and went to demo a new Vaio Z at a local SonyStyle store with a 3.06GHz CPU and Dual SSDs raided. The unit had Vista 64bit and 8GB of RAM... surprisingly though, no BluRay just a DVD Burner... go figure...
I tried to have someone explain to me if the design of the Z was changed because on my Z (model VGG-Z27GN) internally there is only space for one 2.5" drive (and nothing else really).
If the new Z's can accommodate 2 HDs inside, some major internal redesign had to be made. Does anyone know if this is the case or if maybe Sony is using some sort of two 1.8" Drives instead that they RAID together
I just got mine in the mail today. It says online that it's built in but I don't know how to access or find it (I got CTO without WWAN, and pro w/fresh start)?

His current VAIO is very slow when he has outlook and a couple of more apps open (nothing heavy though). It is 1.2GHz as is the TT model
I'm going to buy a FW-390 tomorrow morning and I want to know if the Full HD Screen is necessary or not.
I have heard that the X-Brite Eco's back lighting is uneven so some parts of the screen are dimmer than others which is simply unacceptable.
On the other hand I have heard complaints regarding the Full HD about the fonts being too small due to the resolution being too high on such a small screen ....
Just upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4GB onto my VGN-SZ650N/C and after booting back to Windows XP SP3 only see it as 3GB but BIOS see it as 4G

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs the Sony F LCD screen the same as the Dell XPS16?
At one time the Sony F was listed as an "RGBLED", same as Dell XPS16. They are also the same size/resolution.
I ask, because, I was at Best Buy this past weekend, and I found that the screen was very washed out looking. I confirmed it was resolution 1920, so it was surely their "Premium" LCD. Every review I read seemed to suggest the RGBLED of the Dell XPS16 was bright (almost obnoxiously so) and colorful. This F Model I reviewed truly did seem pale compared to other nearby monitors.
I am considering buying a secondhand notebook, Vaio VGN-TZ72b. It's gorgeous! All I would get are the notebook and its adapter. The guy bought it from Japan. These are all he has with him now.
BUT, I wonder if I would have a problem with drivers in the future when I clean-install it.
I heard every Vaio has a sort of recovery system that frees you from all concern about drivers
