Hi dung27fme,

If you see power lights but nothing appears on the screen, it could be a "POST" (Power-on Self Test) problem or simply LCD problem.

Here are some steps that you can try. One of these may work on your case.

1. Remove the battery and the ac adapter then press the power button for at least 20 seconds to drain electric charges left from the system. (You may need to repeat this step to get it work.)

2. If above step doesn't work, try to plug in an external monitor and see if you get display from the external monitor. You may need to press the Fn + F4 or F5, depends on the key designed on the keyboard to toggle between displays.

3. If you get display from the external monitor, I'm sure your having problem with the LCD components. In this case, check and replace faulty LCD backlight, LCD cable or LCD inverter. The LCD inverter is often a culprit.

4. Try to reinsert the memory module/s (RAM) of the unit, try using one RAM at a time to see if it works. A faulty RAM will cause the laptop not to POST.

5. If reinserting the RAM doesn't help, most likely your motherboard needs to be replaced.

Hope this helps.

This may caused due to many causes:
1. installed drivers are not compatible with your CAM - Go to your Device Manager (Computer -> properties -> Hardware -> Device manager) and check whether your CAM is displays with a question mark, if it is then you have not installed correct driver.

2. Simply, restart your lap and check - this because if you have just install drivers then in order to correctly load CAM setting, it may require a restart.

3. Actually some programe may use your CAM in background. Close all apps you are using. Use processExplorer.exe from FileHippo.com and check any background process using it. If so kill it and re-check. Better if you can use Skype to check your CAM

Your drivers might be incorrect. I have rechecked them again. If they don't work properly, you must check with it's driver properties. If you think it's still not working properly then try VAIO Recovery Center or visit VAIO Help Desk.

Your connection required more than a password. You need to configure your connection such as WEP, WPA or other security capabilities. To do this you need to know the wireless routers configuration and match it.

The Microsoft website will give details of how to upgrade and the costs involved, though buying the new operating system on hardware and performing a drive format and a clean new load could make more sense. A computer that previously ran Vista will probably be a few years old and therefore have a low specification so you could be disappointed with the performance when running Windows 10. I have a very old pc originally running Windows 95 that copes well with XP without perceptible loss of functionality for modest purposes, which makes no sense at all. On the other hand a relatively high-spec laptop I own needs a fair amount of patience running Windows 7. You have to try these things but the results aren't assured and it is a bit like making a wager with your cash. Might be more economic to buy an up to date machine.

You'll need to register/create a Windows Live user account so think up a simple username and password such as virtuaplayer@hotmailcom and 12345678 for the password.

First of all, how old is your display? Second, how did that happen in the first place? Finally, was your display recalled because of inherent video artifacts like the one you're describing? You should check with your OEM before making any queries on sites like this.

Hi Irene - There are many ways to send photos and so I am assuming you are sending them by email. If this is not correct, please provide more info. Within your email program send a new message. In the new message, click on Attach File or Insert Picture. Which ever you choose, it will open a box that will allow you to locate your photo files on your laptop. Select the ones you want and they will be added to the email. They will also remain intact on your laptop. Hope this helps. Thanks.
