Windows 7 Clean install Guide for Vaio FZ

[coolguy]

Is anyone having a problem detecting the bluetooth device?

No, Windows installs default drivers and works fine. What bluetooth adapter do you have?

My original drivers (from viao support) says broadcom. I tried their installation and it could not detect my bluetooth adaptor. Any clues?

Otherwise it works like a charm , and got 1.9 more performance points from somewhere LOL.

Hey, I was planning on doing the same conversion on my FZ-140E, which I believe is identical to the 190E with the exception of the graphics card and the bluetooth. I have 2 questions:
1) Since it just uses the integrated graphics card do I need a different driver or will it be covered by the same drivers you have?
2) Other people have noticed that after converting to the 64 bit windows 7, their battery runs out extremely quickly due to some problem in power management. Have you guys noticed this on your laptops?

1) You need a 64-bit Intel graphics driver, which is not included in my guide. You can try the latest driver from the FTP here ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/WIN...15.10.1855.ZIP. Check whether your intel X3100 card is supported by opening the .inf file in the driver pack. You can also try this intel driver below

2) I don't have any issue with the battery running out quick. I didn't have the Vaio Power management installed (which does nothing except disabing 2 devices).

this absolutely saved me, everything is working except the volume/playback controll pad.

Any chance anyone figured that out? or if theres a drive already listed that does the trick?


I have a FZ180E

The vol/ play controls work even without any drivers. The OSD is what you require Sony drivers and apps for.

Coolguy, thanks, you did a great job.
Is there any application that works for our computers as Wireless Switch Setting Utility.

thanks i realized that like 5 minutes after i posted haha

how about the camera, do you have it working?

I followed your instructions and i still cant get it goin.

When i extract out the files and tell the driver update to look for it, it tells me the drivers it has are the most up to date.

If i try to point to a specific file, i can't becuase theres no INF file in the folder?

Suggestions?

Thanks
