Hello again everybody. Good to see a lot of the regular members still active in this forum. I have a lot of partial laptops and tons of parts for all early F, ...
Hi! I own one and a half AMD based FX Vaios, and I am thinking of purchasing an Intel based Vaio FX as a part donator (mainly the LCD). I already once had a...
Yes, they both use the same connector (1-790-639-22). You are right to point out that the caddies are different. The caddy from a Pentium model looks the same...
I've never come across an FX807. Perhaps you mean an F807, in which case the discs would be no good for an FX805. Or perhaps you mean an FX801. The recovery...
Curious how you edit the sting in the BIOS. I have known about unplugging the BIOS in the FXA/FX210 boards and using them to change the model, but what program...
An alteration to the bios can be made by altering the bios.rom file. This is then put on a floppy with phlash.exe and platform.bin. From a DOS prompt type...
Hi, recently upgraded by partners FX401 with new memory ( 2x256) and a new processor (Athlon-m 1.2G) I found the site www.myplc.com/sony and it was a fantastic...
From the information I have seen for my FX401 which is basically the same unit as yours I thought it could only handle max 512mb as 2x256 sticks. The chips I...
yeah id say the same, check you plugged the power supply back inot the mobo for the heatsink fan, either thats or maybe the processot you have used is too high...
Hrm, if the computer shut's off after this amount of time that would probably mean some sort of heat issue. Do you use thermal compound? Is the heatsink fan...
Sorry about that just read another one of the posts. The Athlon processors run significantly hotter than an AMD Athlon XP. It looks like your heat sink might...
Hi, Yes I know that technically you can only have 2X256MB but on this here forum I have read several times that people have managed to install 2X512MB. My...
Not sure I understand the problem here. Assuming you have the 'Power scheme' set for 'Portable/Laptop' the CPU will run between 500 and 1200 Mhz, according to...
So simple!, why didnt I do that! However, is there a power option to set it to always on when plugged into the mains and power now! when on batteries? ... the...
I have a used Sony Vaio PCG-FX220 PIII 750 MHz laptop. I did a format and full install of WinXP Pro. Only problem is that the touch pad and its mouse buttons...
Hello Mike, ... It sounds to me like the touchpad is dead. The generic MS mouse drivers will allow the touchpad to work with basic functionality. As a rule...
The BIOS on the FX220 has a password on it. I have tried resetting the BIOS to remove it by using a paper clip to push the reset button while the computer is...
Greeting, back again for a bit of advice, I bought a dvdrw drive off ebay for fit to the fx410. It slotted in and works fine, but due to the bezel being a bit...
This question was very fully answered by C Roberts some time ago, although we have not had any feedback as yet. It would be good to hear from anyone who has...
Lately it seems my fan doesn't work properly. I noticed today that it isn't changing speeds like it is supposed to. I removed the cover and blew out the fan...
the heatsink and fan ranges, but usually around $35 Lately it seems my fan doesn't work properly. I noticed today that it isn't changing speeds like it is...
Many thanks for letting us know. Thanks also to C Roberts again for the original info. That comes as welcome confirmation, because the Quanta SDR-081 was used...
