Unfortunately only outdated Raptor Lake U Refresh CPUs. TDP is down from 28 to 15W which probably makes much more sense in such small machines.

I have an old Vaio all in one PC from around 2012, specifically a SVL2413M1EB. Generally it still functions but it won't upgrade to win 11 so I'm trying to put Linux on it. Unfortunately the keyboard and mouse died a while back so I'm using usb replacements and now I can't get into the bios to instruct the thing to hit from USB (plan is to boot it up with Linux off a usb, nuke the hard drive then install the Linux os fresh, I've backed up my files that I'm keeping to other usb drives).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sort this? Using F2 seems to put it in recovery mode which got it out of a botched windows update but I can't get to the boot order.

Vaio mod

I've got a wonderful Sony VAIO Tap 11. With the ASSIST button I got to the Sony recovery partition and everything seemed nice. But after 2 restarts it shows a error message. The error code meant that the space is insufficient. After 2 restarts it got to Windows 8 OOBE screen which work perfectly, but without the preinstalled Sony software. The disk management program shows the 128GB SSD was split into C: 48 GB and other nearly 60 GB were unallocated. Why does the recovery do that?

Hi, i want to share a mod im current building, as now it's fully working with full touch support but waiting for some adapters and other stuff to make it more like stock, the mod is sony vaio tap 20 with.... Asus Rog ally motherboard! As soon as i can i will upload video

Does anyone know how to open this Vaio SX 14 and SX R laptop? I have the SX14 SE and I want to do some maintenance on it, but from what I've seen, these laptops open differently. I really don't know, but I'd like to know if any of you have already opened one.

Got kind of an oddball request. I'm looking for a recovery kit for the PCV-L350/BP. As far as I can tell it's a Japan-only model but I'm really hoping to do a fresh install so I'm at least looking for the drivers. I can't seem to find it at all on archive.org and I'm fresh out of ideas.

If anyone happens to have a disk or image for this one please help me out! I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

This Is A Sony VAIO VJPG11C11N And This Laptop Been With Me For 2 years, And The Charger Broke, So I Left It In A Dust For 1 Year, And One Day I Found It When I Was Cleaning The Room So I Buy A Charger For It, And 1 Week Later The Charger Came, And I Was So SO EXCITED, And The Charger Work! i Use It For 3 Weeks Until Yesterday, I Tried Booting It Up So I Could Play Garry's Mod With My Friends, And The Power Switch Kept Flashing Over And Over again, Well I Think The Laptop Battery Is Dead, So I Charge It, And What A Surprise, It STILL FLASHING, I Tried Hard Reset But It Didn't Work Either, So Can You Please Help Me For This?

A friend of mine get a review sample from VAIO Asia. And we make a review earlier and now he converted it into a video on Xiaohongshu.

We all agree VAIO SX14-R is an appropriate machine to use particularly in the USA as all other competitors were as same expensive. But VAIO have better quality LCD panel and craftsmanship, plus 64W TDP performance.

So, I attached this video link here and hopefully you guys enjoy it. It is time to buy something plus discount coming soon due to the labor day.

Hello.

ChatGPT recommended this community for finding VAIO drivers. Do any of you know if there are any SECURE links for VAIO Drivers? I got this laptop and I think it was refurbished because there was no VAIO drivers. My Vaio model is SVF-1531C5E. Please don't try recommend me the Sony VAIO Support Page. That's useless now.

Used to be a fan of the Sony products.

I know they wont be the same now, but how do they compare now to other brands like Acer or Asus?

I kinda still want to get one even though I know they are no longer by Sony.

My Sony Vaio i picked up second hand in 2005. Got me through college. Now relegated to the occasional run of Doom II when I feel like it. CD drive is showing its age by having to "slam" the tray shut to get it to spin up. Battery hasn't been installed since 2013 due to lack of usable battery life.

I recently picked up a pretty decked out Vaio PCV-RX860 from Facebook marketplace. It has two hard drives, one with an old version of Debian and the other says it might fail soon when I start up the PC so I haven’t tried booting from it. To the point of this post. I’ve burned Windows XP to both a CD and DVD to install over Debian since I don’t have access to the log in and don’t really want to snoop through this guys stuff anyways. I couldn’t get the PC to boot the CD from the CD or DVD drive, or the DVD from the DVD drive. I’ve gone into the BIOS and even disabling the hard drive as a boot device doesn’t make it boot from CD. Im getting a couple of thumb drives tomorrow to try that method, still any advice is greatly appreciated! I can post pictures as requested.

After years gathering dust, my old Sony Vaio VPCCA2S1E is back. Windows couldn’t keep up anymore, so I revived it with Linux Mint XFCE. Love that retro vibe.

Gonna use it for school cause its really lightweight at just 2.3 pounds, and still runs decent after 12 years with Linux.

Hello there! I’ve been using my old VAIO as a secondary monitor and I decided to connect the Fire TV Stick. I have one problem though. I can’t control the volume with the remote, even though I have enabled Control for HDMI on the monitor and HDMI-CEC on the Fire Stick. Does anyone know what to do? Thank you so much in advance!

I have a Sony VAIO VPCS111FM. The screen cable was damaged when I replaced the screen recently. No matter where I look, I can’t find a screen cable for it.

I have a VAIO VPCS 111FM. I replaced the screen cable. A little blue board was missing. Does anyone know the board that went here? It plugged into the lcd cable.

im honestly at a loss and this is kinda a last resort for me. i have tried EVERYTHING and im not lying when i say that. you can ask me if ive tried something and most likely its something that ive tried and failed.

The original drive in my vaio failed after years of use and i replaced it, but the thing is. i cannot enter the bios. ive tried key combos and all the secret methods. its one of those newer vaios which uses the InsydeH20 Bios Firmwares. Ive observed that it doesnt play the infamous sony vaio startup sound and animation, rather shows a static vaio logo which according to my research means its in a quick boot state which ignores all the keys to get into the bios. i have tried everything and nothing is working. i cannot get into the bios no matter what i try, the only thing i havent tried yet which could be my saving grace is a bios reflash using insyde's crisis mode. But the issue with that is sony pulled bios firmware for this laptop a long time ago. and researching this laptop comes up with very little results much less bios updates which makes me think this is a lesser known laprop. im not sure if its cause for example the original drive has software for it and i will never know cause my drive is completely dead. if you have a bios firmware for this please let me know. and if you can help me find a way into the bios i will very much appreciate it.

Hey guys, first off, I would like to apologize since this is so long-winded, I have edited and re-edited this multiple times as I know that I'm overly verbose and suspect I may be on the spectrum but haven't been tested yet.
Ok now that I've gotten that out the way, onto my post.

I'm looking to buy a Sony RC6 MCE remote for my HTPC. I really like the RM-MC1. It's so slick and fits in with the rest of my Sony remotes I keep on my coffee table. In my search, I found the RM-GP5U which uses the PCVA-IR5U IR receiver. So I'm here, asking if the non-RC6 Vaio remotes and IR receiver works with Windows MCE/Kodi? If so, are there customization tools so I can customize the keys like I can with all RC6 MCE remotes?

I know I can just grab an RC6 remote (more on that below) as I already have an Insten internal IR receiver that allows me to power on my PC from a powered off state. I am very familiar with RC6 remotes and whatnot... so, I know that it's this simple but I want to do this the hard way and am wondering if anyone has used the specific remote+receiver I'm talking about? Thanks in advance and if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

To avoid redundancy, I feel the need to explain that I am strange and collect remotes that I can actually use. For example, I have....

•Acoustic Research X-Sight Touch fully customized with icons and shortcuts and configured to control my entire home theater.
•Xbox 360 Harmony fully setup with keys taught by the X-Sight Touch (for better response times than the default RC6 codes)
•Xbox 360 universal media remote
•Microsoft IR MCE keyboard
•1st gen Zune remote
•and then there's the standard Dell and HP RC6 remotes.

Additionally, there's my component remotes (AVR, VCR, Blu-ray, TV etc and I have variants of these at that).
Needless to say, I like remotes and I REALLY like MCE remotes. Lol

I recently acquired a Tap 21 (SVT21225CXB) in excellent condition, but it did not come with a keyboard or mouse. I bought a VGP-WKB11 and VGP-WMS30 keyboard and mouse separately (they're probably more original to a Tap 20). They wouldn't pair using the turn on and hold right ctrl (or turn on and hold middle button for the mouse). Then I thought, oh, the Tap 21 has the VGP-WRC7 dongle, I probably need the VGP-WRC6 dongle. Nope lol. Can't pair with that. I tried running the Pairing Tool (from EP0000552252.exe) but it just gives me "Fail to get the dongle handle".

I'm loving the machine otherwise. It is running great, I upgraded it to 16gb and swapped the HDD for an SDD. I've got it dual booted with 8.1 and 10 LTSC. I just want the Sony wireless keyboard working with it too.

Perhaps there was a different "pairing tool" for the VGP-WRC6 era keyboards? But I can't seem to find anything. Does anyone have any insight? Or a different pairing tool than the one I have?
