Sony VGN-NR140E/S Notebook - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Wireless switch on position sometimes does not
Maybe a faulty LCD in the switch, when it is on check your operating system to ensure the adapter is enabled. Usually an indicator in the system tray. if not you will have to check the device manager to see if it is enabled. If the light is off but the operating system is recognising the adapter and it all works I wouldn't worry about the lack of a light.

Sony Vaio VGN-NR140E touchpad is
You can try the drivers at: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGN-NR140E
The other thing to try is to see if you have disabled the touchpad by accident. Some touchpads have a small button near them which turns them off, to avoid accidental use, if you have plugged in an external mouse.
You could also see if the touchpad is disabled by right clicking on "Computer" and selecting "Manage" and double clicking on "Device Manager". See if anything is disabled in this list.

Need one time bios password
in order to reset the bios password you will need to remove the cmos battery and leave it out for about 15 minutes. This allows the stored up charge in the capacitors to dissapate, and after they discharge is should be reset back to original factory bios setting.
once into your bios, make any changes needed for specific hardware before you reboot computer and go into diagnostic testing mode.

Want to upgrade from vista to windows 10
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.

How do i send photo files that are on my laptop without losing the pictures
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.

Speaker not working
Looks like the problem is not the speaker is the microphone. You need to go to Control Panel then Sound and click on Recording tab.You need to be able to see the Microphone setup, you need to configured it. Good luck!

My laptop windows key capslock key and tab key are
You must have dropped water on your laptop. You will need to replace the keyboard with a new one. Check on Ebay for a replacement keyboard their prices are cheaper.You can also just buy a portable bluetooth keyboard instead of replacement keyboard.
