Hi billy

Screen turns white is not much to go on.

The flat screen TV's CPU is faulty!

First of all, try removing the battery. Hold the power button on the laptop for about a minute while it is disconnected from the mains and the battery. The re-insert the battery. Hopefully it will charge now. If not I would recommend trying a replacement battery.

refrase the question what is Hercules what is rmx is it a laptop or tower or program

Go to device manager from control panel, click on computer , click check for new hardware, should sort problem , windows update should find drivers for you. be patient windows/ microsoft support can sometimes take a while to find solution, good idea to log of for an hour and go back online dont know why but seems to be quicker when there servers are looking for you while you are disconnected. it can take twenty four hours to sort if you are unlucky but usually sorts problem.

Check drivers are installed and check settings in display /personalize in control panel. this should fix problem. hope this helps, John

Have you tried doing a factory reset? this does mean that you will lose any programs / files that were on your hard drive but should mean that you are able to restore the original bios/ operating system. If this fails you have a couple of other options :firstly take the battery out leave for ten minutes and reinsert , this should reset the system /bios files as mentioned before ( probably what I would do, then go to Sony support website and download bios, drivers etc for your model then re-install original programs as installed by Sony.If computer still wont boot , connect Via straight through cable , (ethernet type of cable, the sort you use to attach to phone line through modem) to another computer and it should be picked up as an external hard drive , once this is accomplished log on with computer 2 and proceed as mentioned above -- hope this info is helpful. if its any consolation I have had to re-boot a few computers over time and i do not bother with recovery discs any more they dont mean anything to any other system than the one they were encoded for and so are a waste of space for recovering anything !!!! better of backing up files from download folder as install / execute files and buying software through safecart , whenever I have needed to re-install lost software they are most helpful and are usually able to give me my software activation codes back within 24 hours which I then save to a word /office etc document and back up on a data disc for future reference. Sony website has original software for all models since about 1990 so again it is possible to retrieve any system as long as everything essentially is in working order, you are not alone , we have all lost an operating system or too at one time or another ,goes with the territory!! Have fun and be patient , blessings, John

Is the back port not working or is it disabled like you mention on the question?

Yes, the two sockets are compatible so you can put the T7600 in your laptop.

You need the recovery disk, one has Windows and the other has the device drivers.
This WEB site can supply the recovery disks.

You should reinstall your sound drivers. Here is the website with the drivers for your computer. Choose which version of Windows you use, and then download the file underneath the heading "Audio (sound)".

Hi jazzaninange, Here's the download page from Sony support http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGN-NR220E/S

Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya
This can be a rather easy fix please try these solutions
remove the power cord from the machine and take out the battery pac then press and hold in on the power button for 30 seconds then plug in the machine without the battery now try to turn it back on if all works well let it boot up and then turn it off as you would normally do then replace the battery and restart but if this doesent work then you will need to repeat the first 2 steps then remove the memory chips 1 at a time and try everything again and if it now starts then you know that you have a bad memory stick. ok and if this all still does not help than your power supply is bad and needs to be repaired or replaced ok
Hope this all helps please keep me posted on how this is going
Best regards Mike

If the recovery software was put on a second partician, you would access it by turning on the pc and watching the lower right side of the screen during start up to read what keys are necessary to start the recovery process. You didn't mention what operating system you are using and each one has a different key to enter the bios and second partician area. It is usually F2, or delete. Some use F8. It will tell you what key to enter the area during the start up before the windows screen is displayed.

If the recovery software is not on a second partician of your hard drive, then go into system recovery using windows (start, programs, accessories, system tools and then slide over to system recovery) and just follow the prompts.

if you have the system recover disks, put one in the drive and restart the pc until it launches using it and then follow the prompts.

Click on start>control panel>Hardware and Sound or Sound option.
In the Hardware and Sound window, click Sound.
In the Sound Properties window, click on teh recordings tab and select the MIC as the default device.
If the Mic is not listed right click on the empty area in the window and select the show disabled or disconnected devices.
Then, again right click on the MIC icon and select the Enable device and make default device options.
In the Sound window, on the Playback tab, click to select Speakers/Headphones and then click the Properties button.
In the Speaker/Headphones Properties window, click on the Levels tab.
On the Levels tab, next to Microphone , click on the speaker button to enable or disable the microphone.
Click the OK button.

i think i got it! i had the same problem a few days ago. go to the network and sharing center in vista. then on the left pane, click on the "manage network connections" link. at the bottom should be your wireless connection. right click on it and at the top of the little menu it should say enable. and viola vaio, your little green wlan light should come on and it should connect to your wifi network. :)
