im a sony vaio pcg-u1 user though

SONY VAIO FE 38GP user here

I'm using VAIO PCG-F36. Love it very much from the day I bought it.

VAIO VGN-S48GP user here...

im the figuring how to categorise out our member's list ;o

anyway if any of you has some useful info about vaio, post them up and i will add it to the first post [:

anyway i have to drive home from my in-laws now. be back later

wat r de advantages of Vaio's over other notebooks... adding to the fact that Vaio's r more expensive compared to other brands...

you made your own point

SZ38GP newbie here. Questions:

1) Is it recommended to create backup DVDs?
2) WinDVD has region lock and will not allow region change after a few uses. Any recommendations for this!?
3) As this is my first SONY lappie, is transferring pictures from my T50 camera a matter of plugging in the memory stick duo; or do I need to install drivers etc. Same with my W800 phone... can I just plug in the MS Duo?
4) As the battery is Li-Ion, I have the impression that there are no memory effects(?). Do I need to fully charge and discharge for the first few times?

1. theres a hidden partition for restoring your vaio, if u dont mess with that partition then i dont think u need to make backup DVD's
2. use windows media player or vaio zone [:
3. just shuve your ms duo to the mspd slot in your vaio [:
4. no u dont need to discharge, infact a full discharge may reduce the battery life span

Hi ezinger,
THANKS!!!

1) Regarding the hidden partition, what happens if Windows doesnt even boot. How to restore then? My previous lappie, a Compaq crashed twice and lucky for the restore CD, I managed to get it up and running again.
2) Oh... windows media player can play dvd liao arr?
3) COOL
4) COOL!!!

if your vaio fails to boot then your in trouble =P

so i think you better create back up DVD's with the VAIO recovery tool. so you can boot from the DVD if your system doesnt boot

SONY VAIO FE 38GP user here ....

why is the old thread closed ?

btw i got a problem wit the lappie ... does sony have clicking problem? I am using the VAIO mouse and i realised that the mouse is seriously laggy... same when i use the mouse pad ...

normally when i double click a program on my toshiba, the program automatically opens ... but as for this VAIO ... it will juz highlight the icon and wont open .... then have to click a few times ... this is quite frustrating ... anybody is having this problem?

i've tried changing the mouse setting, but doesnt make a diffrence .. its already on fast....

because the newer thread is better and different from the older thread [:

are you talking about the sony mouse or the touch pad?

I finally got around today to play with my SZ38. Spent the whole morning updating softwares etc. I SERIOUSLY hate Norton Antivirus... too messy with so much updates to go through.

I'm facing a problem now. Most if not all of my applications (Sonicstage and gracenote, Windows Media Player, Adobe etc) all fails to connect to the internet for registration etc... whereas, here I am surfing on IE. Whats going on?! The error is internet connection could not be found but I'm online and can surf using IE.

Hope someone can help. Is it something to do with my antivirus? Cause Sonicstage says Failed to open socket... what the hell does that mean!?

I've upgraded my Vaio to Vista Home Premium and have restored most of the functionality of the Sony-specific apps.

Would still like to get hold of the Sony Vista Upgrade DVD though....

If you have it - I'd be grateful for a pm....

its because norton internet security is restricting internet access from those applicatoins. my suggestion is that you uninstalled norton because its such a piece of crap and install kaspersky, f-secure or nod32. works far better than norton.

how did u upgrade your vaio without the dvd?

ipsoft isnt sending out any vaio upgrade dvd until end of this month of mid of march.

Hey thanks ezinger!! I knew Norton was the culprit. ANyway, after a reboot and installing some (well, alot!) of updates, its all running smoothly now. Thanks for the suggestions for the antivirus. How does those compare to a free one like say AVG?

I upgraded by buying a Vista Home Premium OEM disc at LowYat.

And installed the available Vista updates over at the Sony Vaio support website with some help from the notebookreviews forums.

well google it [: here's one for ya : http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
i havent tried bit defender so i dare not say its the ultimate anti-virus software but i might give it a try someday.

oh ok. there is still missing drivers right? i was at one utama this evening and saw sz48 on display. so i click on the computer and notice the processor and ram information wasnt shown and there were no rating. wtf?

SONY VAIO TX17GP/B user here. Have been using for a year. Lightweight and damn small.

im gettin SZ48 in a few days [:

ezinger, thats real cool.. do let us know how it handles Vista. I was very tempted to wait as per my previous post, but the idea of having Vista incompatibility with some of my required softwares put me off. Anyway, I'm very happy & satisfied with my SZ38 now. Works so well with all my other Sony peripherals.

wat's the price for sz48?



u're buying again?????? wat happens to ur FE38???

SZ48 is RM7988

im still using my FE38 [;

the SZ48 is for my uncle. i have to install everything for him. anyone knows the price for microsoft office 2007 standard for vista?

SONY VAIO FJ78GP user here.

goodness post ur review up!!! we're craving 4 it!!!

Added on February 25, 2007, 10:06 pmhmm maximum 3 years only ler.

This post has been edited by wingcross: Feb 25 2007, 10:06 PM

rm 5488. it runs battlefield 2142 beautifully, havent run any benchmark software yet.
so for no


got the 3 years official warranty from sony and another 2 year from best denki.

For all guys information, Best Denki is an electronic stuff store like SenQ in Singapore... it always got offer their own warranty for the stuff they selling

This post has been edited by alucard31: Feb 26 2007, 02:40 PM

you have to pay for the extended warranty actually

hardware company where can simply gif warranty one

This post has been edited by EmperorMeng: Feb 26 2007, 03:50 PM

haha i duno they can or not, but indeed they are offering when u buy it. Sometimes is so called "free" extended warranty, sometimes need buy.

hi guys,

PCG-4D4P user here

microsoft office 2007 basic starting price around rm500++(Original)...
professional one can reach up to rm1000++...
try to check at lowyat...maybe can negotiate abit the price...who knows...

didnt know that. i did some 3d wallpaper with vaio words on it. The rendering so far so good.

Office Professional Academic Edition 2007 costs approx. RM650. However, in Malaysia, you need to place a special order and provide proof that you are studying/working at an educational institution. Distributors aren't keen on selling this because they get less profit.

I read somewhere sometime ago that some VAIOs have a certain software which enables the user to watch DVDs or listen to music WITHOUT even booting Windows up... just by powering on the lappie.

Does anyone know which software this is and whether its available in all VAIOs distributed in Msia!?

Hey guys... our thread too quiet.... And seems like VAIO got bad reputation in KL coz of some irresponsible sales in TS....

vaio doesnt make a bad reputation just because of some idiot salesman in TS. the consumer also made a stupid mistake arguing with the salesman instead of seeing the manager straight away. afaik, he got the display set of vaio. i blame his ignorance.

ya, frankly for me so far i very happy for my VAIO, works perfectly for me. So anyone of ppl out there wanna get VAIO then should beware of those idiot salesman and check carefully when the time get the VAIO.

I check my VAIO for almost 1 hour ( i also ask them burn a copy of recovery DVD for me front of me, this way can make sure the writer and the recovery utility is works fine also, it's important!) jux to make sure everything works no problems, although the sales seems like got bit not happy wif me, but who care? I pay the $$ of coz i need check through make sure what i get is rili the one i looking for.

So guys, dun let some idiot salesman just keep thinkin to earn fast $$ influence you, make your own decision.

Think all the forumers wont go to TS sony store oredi, haha..

Count me in, i'm a PCG-V505GP Vaio User (The notebook model sounds old, but still consider VAIO right?)

my 1st laptop was sz25, on half year ago. i have purchased second unit sz44 in valentine day.. but happen was bad service. not only irresponsible salesman in TS but also same applied to the manager. He deny to giv me any apologize but finally he was forced to write an explain letter... u know what this means..? u r not there, there for many thing u r not clear... so jz dont simply blame ignorance on ppl, jz bcos u r using vaio... ok..?

Added on March 8, 2007, 1:04 am
haha..actually..is not vaio get bad reputation... is only a small part sales stuffs... in TS. I heard that KLCC staff was better... and nicer... vaio is a good laptop....especially sz series... please dont feel so on vaio laptop... cos is nothing wrong with the vaio...

This post has been edited by vaio_ynos: Mar 8 2007, 01:48 PM

May i ask question here,do u think better to get this model VGN-FE35GP
or this model VGN-C25.is there a huge different or benefit for getting fe35 for xtra RM500..thanx

C series made in china. FE in Japan. You decide.

wait are u tryin to show off your vaio's? LOL. i'll cater to your mentality in showing off too then =D
just this year, i bought a compaw v3125au,sold it for a FE38 and i actually bought two FE38 and just recently i bought SZ48. w00t i can show off just like you =D

dude, if you were an intellectual consumer, you wouldnt have to face any of your experienced inconvience. i dont have to be there to know what you have been through :] what i am clear of is this you went through a downfall of purchasing a vaio. tough luck eh? ;[

Should i show what i have before i start typing on?

Just silly lappy and silly sales person.. shiet happen.
Its not bout intellectual, if the shop do not co-operate then sure alot problem arise.. Thats what happen to him and he's doin good, gettin what he should get. I think he is very smart to fight for his right.

Btw how you know he's doin Stupid Mistake while you not there as you mention above? How you know that he's not straight away go meet the manager? Or maybe he's kind and dont want make the matter worse and try to co-operate with the sales person and try the lappy, double check it 1st? After that the silly problem arise.. (on his friend post)

Bro, your words really hurd.. simply write stuff you not sure or worse you dont know whats really happen to him..

Even u own 10 or 100 Vaio's guess what.. no one really care..

Edit: Oh ya, i wont give a puke even you flame me! (Intellectual Rights)

This post has been edited by V3000: Mar 8 2007, 03:33 AM

guess wat ezinger, ppl buy vaio bcoz of its stylish and its spec...and there are no vaio's user will show off their laptop..man... coz there is make no sense... u r thinking too much..

ohh yaa, i let u know wat... ezinger, no body will bother how many vaio u have.
no matter u hv 10 vaio or 100 vaio, u sure wont giv other ppl ur single vaio, izzit..?

and ezinger, u know wat... i admit that i m not as 'intellectual' as u.... but i will pray that u will never hv inconvience experience in buying thing...not only laptop...

guess wat...i will fully utilise the laptop warranty, since the laptop do offer warranty, man... coz i m not as 'intellectual consumer' as u ... good luck man..

This post has been edited by vaio_ynos: Mar 8 2007, 01:50 PM

land of the hypocrisy now? first you try to tell me u have all the vaio's in the world and now you tell me nobody cares? lol.

FIRST of all if your laptop is faulty, the salesman or the manager isnt a technician. i remebered reading the topic about the TS claiming for a refund which he didnt get and pathetically had to wait. you are suppose to send your lappy to a service centre. not least, you need to be smart dealing with idiots as well :]

didnt u just show off? o_O

im thankful for your kind prayer :] but really you dont have to :] i'll definitely be alright :]

dude, if u live nearby where i am, i would be so glad to help you out if you need any. my vaio's are installed with a temperature monitor software. i think you should have it too.

in the future, post your technical difficulties here, im very sure the suggestions replied here would get you in the right track [:

Bro again i need to explain.. I dont own any vaio and my lappy work soo hard soo good for me.. Btw your post above really sweet to read and hopefully LYN have more ppl like u.. Kind enuf to help ppl out.

Cheers.

Yo yo,fans of VAIO but quite cost a bit...cut like blood $..

while in europe or UK , the LA series they are offering is wireless keyboard... and of course very expensive as well.. sob sob.. when can I earn this such money to buy such beautiful piece of art? kekeke..

Kingston will do just fine. I have use Kingston for quite long, and no problem so far. and my default ram is hynix (never heard of this name lol)

tested at lowyat plaza, Thundermatch Sony store.

oh i see..thank dude... btw can vaio notebook open using adapter without place in battery? can damage the notebook?

can, thats what im doing now no damage to the notebook.

This post has been edited by Miyabi: Mar 19 2007, 10:11 PM

i am using the same format too when i am at home....to save the lifespan of the battery

i nv use my battery unless need to

vaio TX57GN comes with 1gb ram, 512mb on board, 512mb on slot, and it has only got 1 slot for ram. is it upgradable to 2.5gb? (2gb stick, 512mb on board)

Add me in, I'm a VGN-C13G Black owner

high 5 bro!
actually i wanted pink one.
but phuck, where can everyday bring pink laptop, sien maut

Yeah.

You guys know where could I get Vista drivers for my C13G? Apparently it's only available though the upgrade kit, but since I've a retail version, I don't want to fork out additional money to get the upgrade.

dont want vista lah...
sure cannot take it one
512 ram only
later when vista stable, i will upgrade ram
then only use

I have upgraded mine to 1GB RAM now and running Vista Ultimate as my secondary OS. I need the drivers for some stuffs to work..

wanna get vgn c25g light blue one in a few days. had few questions in mind.
1) anyone can get me a cheaper price? sony style klcc give me rm4,988 plus rm539 for another 1gb of ram.
2)laptop newbie here so what should i look for when inspecting the lappie? (with the salesman nearby of course).
3) plan to use celcom 3g datacard with the lappie. is it suitable with the slot or else?

thanks.

1. got somebody selling for 4200, but brown in garage sales
2. look for dead pixel, make sure no black dots on screen
3. dont know

erm, what kind of driver? chipset? bluetooth? touchpad?
anyway, try find it here, though the series is same, but the number of those series is different:
http://club.vaio.sony.eu/index.html


about price, cant get much different since sony control the price. so just get the second-hand one, mentioned by earlier forumer.
and yeah, avoid buying those 1gb from sony lol... you can get 2 pieces of 1gb ddr 667 stick lol.
about C-series, built to be tough lol.

this thread seem missing it's threadstarter. where are you ezinger?

i got a question. my vgn c25g at back middle got 1 thing that can use finger to open .. can see inside. that is? anyone know ?

^thats for docking port
