Hi all, This is my first e-mail so hope it is appropriate. If not, I humbly apologize and remove my question. I am looking to upgrade my Z505LE's hard drive....
Good drive, and it'll fit in a Z505 no problem. The IBM 40GNX is a similar unit with the advantage of an 8MB cache. But, it's basically discontinued due to IBM...
Hello, I have managed [don't ask!] to lose the pc card which came with my CR-ROM (PCGA-CD5). I have a Vaio 505TR. Has anyone a spare they would like to sell? ...
Thanks for the reply Tom! I actually looked at the IBM 40GNX but I have been hearing that it is noisy. I also heard that the performance of the DK23EB wasn't...
Hi Nathan, How much are you asking for the card? Which part of the world do you live in? sarah From: natedogng1@... Reply-To: sony505@yahoogroups.com Date:...
I have an old Z505 SX. I'm having modem problems. Here's what happened. I was at the hospital, where you had to dial 9 for an outside line. I configured...
The line in the hospital was probably a digital line connected to a PBX. When you hooked it up you likely burnt out your modem. This is also likely why it no...
Wow, scary news indeed. The funny thing was I hooked it up the same way when my wife and I were in the same hospital, just different room, and it was able to...
Wow what a hassle...hehe I need to locate drivers for my NB... See it's like this, I have the Recovery and Application CD's. However I don't have a Sony CDROM ...
just went thru all that- but had cdrom- tried networking to another machine? My problem is got everything running -installed xp and now have no sound-...
Applying the Sony drivers shouldn't be too much trouble considering that you've got the Microsoft standard version of Win98SE installed. You ought to be able...
I am in the same boat... I am wondering how far in the damage goes. In other words is the modem chip itself damaged, or just a resistor, or capacitor. Being as...
In my Z505LS- According to Batteryscope, I have a PCGA-BPZ51 Battery that has 1276 charges, and a remaining capacity of 12.32 Wh and a design capacity of 20.72...
It's not memory... It's just wear. There is no 'resetting', Li-Ion batts will eventually wear out no matter what you do. Sorry! Greg in Minneapolis ... From:...
I suspect the phone line at the hospital is not the same as home. As a result, you might have damaged your modem. I know because a friend made the same...
1200+ charges is a large number - the battery is likely simply worn out - typical stated useful battery is between 500-1000 charges, depending on how well you ...
I thank everyone who contributed their opinions on my problem. It seems the consensus is that I blew it up when I plugged it in at the hospital. I may try...

Thank you Nathan, that is so kind. I will investigate the easiest way to pay you for the shipping tomorrow (it's 7.30pm here now). Have you any idea roughly...
As mentioned already, almost certainly blown up on a digital exchange circuit. Usual component that fails is the off-hook solenoid switch, which is sensitive....
Hi Sarah, I am not sure how much it'll cost but I think it's at least 20 USD (USPS). However, I've heard United States Postal Service is not as reliable so I...
Any idea what that selenoid switch looks like? Or is that built into the chip? ... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax...
Fairly certain its seperate - its the bit that 'clicks' when you go off/on hook - or doesn't in this case! Look for a, excuse the technical word, lumpy bit...
Thanks, its better than a shot in the dark at least. I do use pcmcia modems anyhow, snce I do not like the socey Sony used (too fragile), but would like to be ...
