guys, anyone know where is the service centre for sony vaio notebook?
here is my problem. since last week, my notebook always displayed blue screen (i was running winxp) when i am surfing / watching movies/ etc..so i thought maybe virus or spyware, and i scanned. but no virus or spyware. i have tried to restore back to original factory state. works for a while but after a day or 2, the blue screen appear. i then upgrade to vista (without formatting) still the same...blue screen and also sometimes "application crash" message. then i tried to format it and install windows vista..still the same! i just noticed just now there is a soft buzzing sound in my lappy and i think there is some hardware mulfunction (i suspect the culprit is HD). The sounds appear all the time and i now already worried if something is wrong..

therefore, i would like to know where is the sony service centre and usually how long will they take to check my notebook?

Drivers issues are common with Dell. Nonetheless, if you're heavy users in term of application like games or engineering softwares, xps delivers better performance with cheaper price.

The CR23G has been replaced by CR35. The specs are much better. Wanted to get the Lizard Skin edition but was told that M'sia won't be bringing in that. Will only bring in 5 colors --- red, gold, white, indigo, and pink. Won't even bring in black!
Any idea where to get the lizard skin?

sadly, it's depend on sony malaysia..
unless you decide to make a purchase online, and having warranty hold by the country/place you purchased from, not from sony malaysia,eg sony new zealand, n.a.

weird that they have remove out all the cr series with ati gpu which available before.

May I know what did you mean by they remove all the cr series wth ati gpu which available before?

My bf just bought this CR35 white 2 days ago... and I'm waiting for the new FZ series to be released...

CR35 does come with ati x2300(128mb dedicated)

haha lol
they just updated the website today...
earlier..the cr35 isnt exist to malaysia market.

i know the cr35 come with ati gpu.. ;z
too bad no "lizard skin" edition..

Black also m'sia doesn't wanna take in..what more lizard skin..

Hi, I've a FZ 160 E and was wondering if anyone know whether i can install Hackintosh aka Kalyway 10.5.1 Leopard on it. I try to change the setting in Bios but i guess they lock it up, so i wasn't able to change some crucial settings.

Thanks

what do you think of TZ series? latest one is TZ37 i think, with C2D 1.33GHz. got ruby red. donno nice color or not. but i really like the size & i think the spec is good enough for normal office work, internet & email. budget-wise i can go for TZ or SZ. of course SZ got very good spec but i really like the portability of TZ. any comment?

like wat u say,u have the budget,u like the ruby red color and the portable size+style,just go for it la

i didn't say i like the color. the website doesn't show clearly the color so i donno. if don want risk i just settle for black. but yeah the portability & long last battery attract me

you can always pay a visit at sony style shop to play around with the notebook.
get the black. really absolute portability and elegant .-.;

I running on 1G ram at the moment. Wanna get 1more G. Is it possible to buy my own ram card to install? Any particular brand should use? How much?

TQ

yes,u can buy any ram as long is compatible and install it to the notebook

hi there...

i'm a user of the sony FE45G/W model.

my vaio came with pre-installed vista home premium.
because of my school, i need to use XP Pro for their programs and such, so i'm did a dual-boot and haf both vista and xp pro..

problems is that, i need the graphics driver(nvidia geforce go 7600), and the Fn buttons are not working, making my vaio unable to b displayed on the projector when the VGA is connected...

i know whenever u nid to change the display u hold onto Fn button and press the F1 - 12 keys, which ever that have a monitor logo on it.. But mine doesn't work.. can anyone please enlighten me on my problem?

another thing is, the battery life last roughly 1hr and 10 mins at the max when running XP, but when running vista, i can run a max of 2.5hr...
any idea what can i do? as in like, is there any software or a sony driver where by it helps to maximise ur battery?

i've been told by the sales person that this laptop model can support up to maximum 2Gb RAM.
can i actually change it to higher? like mayb 4gb ram?

thanks in advance.
