There are some limitations we are facing when not using Sony's original/hybrid drivers. High resolution Audio via HDMI is one, and it would not...
Until somebody answers this - did you find a good instruction or YouTube video how to disassemble the VGN-Z to do this? Might give it a try once...
There's a known issue involved with old laptops and Windows 10 Fastboot, so make sure that Fastboot is deactivated. Also use of hibernation is not...
I still have a VGN-Z but sure one of a few.. Certainly cannot imagine anybody would still have it's original box lying around after 10 years or...
Seemingly nobody. Some ideas. Did you provide the AHCI driver (what Mode do you use it in, IDE, AHCI, RAID?) during the installation of win 10....
Thanks and yes I still love this good old laptop! And it just saved my life once again, after my brand new Lenovo totally failed on me !!! ;) The...
Just a quick comment, as you already solved the issue. Getting rid of RAID is something you should have done already long before, but I do...

this thing is ROCK stable and I would NEVER give it away. My not even one year old Lenovo ideapad has it's fan broken and is now at Lenovo for...
You’re a bit late to the party, I might say... so I assume the audience is limited. Does it not even boot into BIOS? If it does you could review...
Oh and yes, but even if the fan kicks in, your laptop might be overheating.. the thermal paste may be disfunct and needing to be replaced. Check...
I'm looking for alternate uses for it. My VGN-Z is still working well, just too slow for daily use and photo processing, so I replaced it with a...
this hadn't been fixed for a couple of years.. will try!
Well only thing I can say is the obvious.. must be some hardware issue.. probably time to open it and check the connectors and soldering points....
