Sony VAIO VGN-T1XP/L Notebook Questions & Answers
I want to reset my sony vaio
I'm assuming you want to restore your computer to the factory settings, so here's how to do that.
1. Restart your computer
2. Hold down the ALT key and press F10 repeatedly as it restarts.
3. This should initiate the factory restore option, which will reset your computer to an out-of-box state.
Hope this helps!

Hi, Im trying to re-install
Once the setup files are copied don't let it boot from the cd-drive anymore, at the prompt "Press any key to boot from cd...", please do not press any of the keys. However you do require the cd in cd-rom for the rest of the setup.

HOW CAN I MAXIMIZE MY DESKTOP, I JUST INSTALLED
Although not knowing the Vaio specifically, in general right click on a blank part of the desktop and select SCREEN RESOLUION. Select the highest possible resolution shown and then click OK. The screen may blank for a second but will return and you can then elect to use the new resolution.

Dear Sirs Please advise 1) how to upgrade
The VGN-T1XP can use a maximum of 1gb of RAM! It has two slots, one already filled with 512mb, so you need a second of the same size.
Unfortunately, there are no simple covers to remove to access the memory or HDD - so I would assume you need to take the machine apart! So check with a REAL expert first....

Port replicator/docking station
I have a docking station for sale for this exact machine - reason for sale is that the machine has developed an intermittent fault so I have replaced it. It is a great docker with 3 USB, 1 printer, 1 monitor,1 network and DC in (takes computer power in). It got me up and running in home office very fast. The model number written on the back is VGP-PRT1. It is about 11 inches in length by 4 inches widt and at max 1 inch in height

How to remove the screen bezel
There are screws hidden behind round plactic covers on the bottom and sides of the bezel. Also they may have plastic clips and or double sided tape holding the bezel in place. Slip a thin blade between the screen and bezel and gently lift the bezel off, take care not to scratch the LCD screen.

Laptop starts and after a while of using a blue error box falshes on the screen and turns off comp I can't even read the blue box its sooo quick!
That is called the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).
try a chkdsk:
Chkdsk
Take the Windows XP disk. Boot from it, then DO NOT select F2 (automated system recovery) but continue through the procedure until you get to the point where you can choose between installing Windows XP and entering the Recovery Console. Once you get into the Recovery Console, do chkdsk and fix potential errors on your disks! Type Chkdsk C: /R at the prompt.
Or try a XP repair:
XP repair
When you boot with the Win XP install CD-ROM, it loads a minimal operating system, similar to DOS, but compatible with Win XP. At the first screen you select install Win XP (not Recovery Console) and at the next screen it will find that you already have Win XP and offer to attempt a repair. This repair should not touch your Applications or data; it just reinstalls the Windows files. This is great because when it works you don't need to reinstall all your software.
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

The notebook does not start
It could be yes, but not always. It can be RAM failure, battery failure, Add-on card failure. first thing to check is its power source, then RAM, Add-on card, checking also it power button. Sometimes non booting unit is only due to dirty contact.
I usually check its power source, then clean the RAM with soft eraser, if that doesn't help I try to check other add on card. Next is it drive I disconnect them then try to power up without the drive if it can able to POST.
