How do I replace the hard drive on my sony Vaio VGN-NR120E?

What version of windows? This could mean the hard drive is getting ready to fail. You may be able to repair it using start up repair.

Hi,
Your Sony vaio does not have any TV-out port to output the display on any analog TV. You can use your VGA (by using VGA cable) port to output your laptop on LCD / Plasma / LED TV (with a VGA port also)). If you still want to project to analog TV via the VGA port, you need to find a VGA to RGB adaptor. But bare in mind, it's hard to find one.
VGA port is like the port on computer monitor. RBG consist of three colored port.
Good luck ;)

I've replaced my Sony Vaio VGN_160 with a 120gb Seagate Momentus 7200rpm, 16mb cache 2.5" Sata drive. I would think all notebook SATA drives should be compatible. The 7200rpm drives cost the same as the 5400 and it only uses something like 5% more power. (I read that in a forum so I can really say if it's true.)
I did notice a performance boost from the faster and higher cache drive. It was enough to get my 4 year old Vaio another 12-18 months of life before I get a newer one. And you CAN install Windows 7 (x86 since my Vaio is a core duo and not 64bit compatible.) Yours should be able to take Win7 64, unless of course you like Vista.

Once you remove the stock drive from the drive cage, it's a matter of putting the new drive into the cage and then reinserting.
I would suggest you format the new drive before you replace it. I had the Vaio back together without formatting, and Win7 install DVD was not able to find the drive until I formatted it on my desktop. The Sata and power connector are standard so it was easy to do.

Hi,
Try lowering the resolution of the your display on the notebook so that you can try to play in full screen.

Hi,

Uninstall unnecessary softwares from add/remove programs. Did you noticed that cpu fan is working? If not then clean the cpu exhaust system with blower and also check the cpu fan function in BIOS. When using laptop always use flat surface to place it, mattress or sofa create problem with cooling and exhaust system of the cpu fan.
Hope this will help you.

ur boot files are being corrupted either there is a trojen or a virus that's preventing the Win from working.
do this...when u switch on the machine press F8 function key and try to load in Safe Mode. if u can do that then get Tuneup Utility from my website (download page) www.sureshayyar.110mb.com
install and run the cleanup process...1n click maint in that does a good job...use all the tools in that and get ur machine to working....
else u need to boot from a Win CD try do a repair of ur OS....
else let me know...we go to plan B

Hi, the processor of the this model Vaio is Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2310. This is a 64bit processor which means that it should support a 64 bit operating system. Whether it will come with a 64 bit operating sysem, depends on your order.
Here are two links with the processor specifications and the Vaio specifications:

If you already have one, you can check if it is a 32bit or 64 bit by clicking on: Start/right click Computer and select properties.

reinstall your wireless drivers..

this problem is due to not driver correctly installed

hard drives dont bring internet? unless i am missing something here. hard drives are to save data into.

All you need to look for is a 2.5 inch SATA drive, such as any of the ones on http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150380%201035915133%201035507777&name=5400%20RPM
