probably arent fully seating the ram modules. push them into the slot until the little side levers close on their own.

i belive that you can find it using a program called everest

video card most likely...do you have an external monitor to try it out on, to be certain?

Remove the keyboard also,there's usually some more screws under the keyboard.

Only way that i see, is that you must go to a reseller to try u to arrange the pieces. There is no other way.

This is a complicated process and I advise you to be very cautious and carefully organize all screws and cables that you unplug in a clean and undisturbed area. Pay keen attention as to where cables are unplugged from so you can plug them in when hard drive is inserted. I must say proceed at your own risk because it might get frustrating if you are not careful and organized. First, turn over the laptop and loose all 7 screws on the perimeter of the laptop. Loose one screw in the middle and 2 on both sides of the battery (total 10 screws). Remove the battery, there are two clips there holding the keyboard. Release those and remove the keyboard and unplug main keyboard data cable from motherboard. Unplug the power switch cable, and the touchpad cable from m/board. Unscrew 3 screws from under the keyboard to remove the top cover of laptop. When that is removed you will see the hard drive in the bottom right. There are 3 screws holding the hdd to the system and 4 holding the enclosure that needs to be removed. Unplug the sata cable and use it for new sata hard drive. I hope you have had the patience to do this as this is a job for a technician. If you have succeeded, congratulations.

VGA is not supported by most tv sets...If your tv is the standard flat-screen use S-video..And if its LCD or HDTV try DVI...Let me know if it worked..

Make sure you have followed the instructions for installation first. Most wieless nic require that you install the software first before inserting the modem. It can cause damage to the part when not properly installed. Also check the system specifications that the modem requires. Please comment if this is not the case.

Hope this helps you

Plug an external monitor into the notebook. See if the diplay is clear. If there is no problem with the display there the problem is with your lcd. You can check for a loose connection by disassembling the notebook. If the connections are ok you have probably done damage to the lcd from the impact of the fall. Now if you are not familiar with working with notebooks internally I would not reommend opening it. Check your warranty with the manufacturer to see if you are covered otherwise take it in for service if you can.

Hope this helps you

Depending on how high the fall you could have damaged the hard drive which cases the black scree and the cursor blinkin only can you enter any letters to the screen if you can all u may need to do is reinstall windows and you may be ok again.  Theres not much info and Im going on what you have just said.?

check under your "processes" in the Windows Taskmanager and see if you can find anything listed that starts with "hk" like "hkserv", "hksrv" or "hkcmd" .. That would be your hotkeys, if they were working. :) This means the driver for your hotkeys is missing or corrupt. Now, go to this site here: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?PRODTYPE=24&NAVDISP=pc and enter all your info (like model number, ...), then you'll be able to download the proper hotkey driver for your model Vaio. write back if it worked. regards, Tom

If you only erased it, you can simply use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Z, if the deletion was permanent, there is nothing you can do.
