Hi,

 

I'm a proud owner of VAIO pro 13, which comes with an XP941 m.2 ssd, I just bought the SM951 m.2 ssd for upgrade mine right, I can install the first part of Windows 10 with an USB but I'm stuck here:

 

http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/installation-setup/18409d1363428762t-repeat-first-step-install-windows-8-using-usb-installing-windows-8-14.gif

 

After that windows can't continue with the installation, I think that is something with the UEFI and secure boot, not sure, I hope you can help me.

Sony Vaio SVP132A1CL How to downgrade to Windows 8 from upgrading to Windows 10

$

Hello Everyone,

 

I am trying to fix my mom's laptop but it's been 5 days and still not successful.

 

My mom upgraded her laptop (SVP132A1CL) OS from Wins 8 to Wins 10. She wants to downgrade back to Wins 8. I tried going to recovery since the install of Wins 10 was less than 10 days and did not find the option to downgrade. I then tried installing Wins 8 and Wins 7 by turning off the computer and using the Assist button and installing from boot from USB. for some reason the install would not let me install Wins 8 or 7.

 

I didn't create backups or restore point.

 

I also tried calling customer support but seems i would have to pay a one time fee of $100 or periodic help for $299.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Regards,

 

Derek

After upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, my battery has stopped charging. It shows (plugged in not charging). Tried new battery, holding pwr button with no battery, reinstalling ACPI driver and same thing. (When I reinstall the battery ACPI driver it says unable to install) "Base system Device No driver Found"  Checked BIOS and there was an battrey issue update, but for "Vista". Since I now have Win 7 is it ok to install it?

Vaio cant boot without cable

Hi Community,

 

Im having a weird problem with my Sony Vaio Pro 13 (SVP1321L1E).

System check says everything works fine. BUT:

Sometimes when I try to boot the Vaio, and he is not connected to the power, it wont boot, even though the battery is full. I have to connect the cable then, start, and then I can unplug the laptop and it works fine.

I tried a factory reset and everything but nothing helps, also not the fancy battery reset button on the back.

 

Maybe someone had the same problem?

The battery got exchanged once by Sony support (it died), but now my warranty time is over and I dont want to pay a fortune for a new.

 

Thanks if you can help!!

Hi There,
 
Recently I saw a notification @ VAIO care regarding Windows 10 Upgrade. After performing the upgrade, I could see that my webcam and microphone stopped working. I tried all possible ways but it did not work. Finally I had to remove Windows 10 and I came back to Windows 8. 
 
Problem is, now webcam and microphone are not working in windows 8 too. I have tried all options including factory reset but nothing is helping.
 
Below message is coming in Device Manager --> Imaging Devices --> USB 2.0 Camera
 
'Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.'

Automatic Repair failed. Refresh options failed. Solid state i7

Automatic repair could not repair my C drive...the computer froze during an update, and automatic repair can't repair the drive. It ran up to 36% repaired and then froze and shut off again. Every attempt to reboot afterwards simply yielded a message saying that automatic repair couldn't fix the issue, and then it gave me the option to select an advanced repair option like refreshing the computer. Nothing worked. Even when I opted to lose my data. It's a solid state hard drive with a removable battery etc. This model: Sony VAIO P SVP13215PXB. Help? It's the i7 processor
