Complaint against Vaio Customer Support phone 888-476-6972

I need to have a number where I can call to complain about the technical service provided for the  Sony Vaio Laptop. I called the number from the website 888-476-6972. I have called three times in the last 24 hours. I have a case number. They would not help me unless I paid $99. I tried paying on 6 different occassions, something was wrong with their payment system,  I talked to three different people in a 24 hour period it was very frusturating. I have the case number etc. They ran my card 6 times and it would not work. They would not help me even though I was on the phone for a total of 3 hours on 3 different calls. So frustrating. i asked to talk to a supervisor, none was available, they said a supervisor would call m. No one did. the last agent snarkily said we are not affiliated with Sony, just go to Best Buy. What great customer service? Who do I call to complain about this service?

 

Thanks

How do I get to Graphics Card menu within BIOS setup--VGN-AR770 ?

How do I get to Graphics Card menu within the BIOS setup-VGN-AR770?

 

Laptop OS was Vista 32 bits Ultimate, now switched to 64 bits Windows 7 Professional-fresh installation.

 

Problem: Nividia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card cannot be detected, it seems to me it is now running on genetic driver, as screen saver is not working as well. 

 

I downloaded Nvidia 64 bits driver but installation failed, saying cannot detect compatible product. And Sony's website drivers update for my laptop only has drivers for Vista 32 bits available. 

 

I searched online 1 suggestion popped up, saying going to graphics card menu within the BIOS setup, select "switchable" instead of Integrated option, but i cannot find it. 

 

Can anyone shows me how to get the Nvidia driver installation complete? Thank you

Hi,

I have clean installed windows 10 pro and i try install VAIO Power Management but Battery care function not show.

 

- No recovery drive on Vaio Care because I deleted it and created only one drive.

- Tried install Vaio Control Center 6.1.XXXX , 6.2.XXXX , 6.3.XXXX , 6.4.XXXX it still does not show.

- Tried another model driver ex. SVP13XXXXXX it still does not show.

- Tried driver for windows 7,8,8.1 it still does not show.

- Tried driver Hotkey(win8) it still does not show.

- Tried changing the driver installation sequence it still does not show.

- Tried re-install windows because I think that the installation before and after are related (9-10 times).

 

VAIO Power Management is the key for Battery care and fan speed function ?

 

Sony pro 13 

Model : SVP1321BPXB

 

What do I have to do ?

Bought a new SSD drive and was hoping that I could use recovery disk and a system image to get the PC up and running. Microsoft tell me that images are stored as SATA images and won't work on SSD drives. Is there any software I can use to convert a system image on a storage drive so I can load the system image?


Sony Vaio PCG-961C, Windows XP install

Hi all,

 

I bought an very old Sony Vaio PCG-961C, with an installed Windows XP Prof 32bit.

 

I bought it at first for the internal harddrive to use it for another laptop.

 

But someone is interested so I thought I will check the system etc.

 

I found out that there were 3 windows installations in the Windows Explorer. 2 of them were to see before starting up.

I installed a very old version of Firefox because Internet Explorer gave issues during the browsing.

When I started the next day the laptop and clicked on firefox it gave an error message and I had to do a SFC/ Scannow.

During that scan it asked for a windows cd. I did not get a windows xp or recovery cd`s.

 

The CD drive does not read my own Windows XP CD and I have also tried to install Windows by an USB sticks. I have tried it will all programs that are available. I have also tried to install it by an external CD/DVD drive.

 

Today I have read that it is impossible to install Windows by USB because that is blocked by Sony.

 

What can I do without making to many costs for such an old laptop?

 

I thank you in advance for your advise.

Windows XP drivers or recovery media for VGN-U71P (70P / 750P)

$

Hi everyone!

 

Could someone please help me and provide the drivers or recovery media for my VGN-U71P?

 

I have a recovery DVD for the VGN-U8G (and probably the U50 + U8C) but the 71P refuses to accept this. (wrong model)

I guess there are 2 different types of recovery media: One for the Celeron and another for the Pentium M ones, though not sure.)

 

Would be so great to get the tools and drivers. Would even pay 10$ or even more.

Can also download it, no physical copy needed.

 

Any help appreciated!

 

(Otherwise I could take the hard drive from the U8G and build it in the 71P, that would probably work but it´s a bit... inconvenient...)

Getting updates for PCG-2C1L (VGCLT38E)

Model PCG-2C1L (VGCLT38E) all in one, windows vista

I am working on an old PC, making sure everything is up to date. Normally I would make sure the Bios is the latest, and then do windows and other updates. I noticed on sony support that there are a few newer updates for drivers and other factory software, but no bios updates are listed. On the dozens of PCs I have looked at there have always be at least a couple of Bios updates during its product life, so this is unusual. Next I noticed that windows updates complains that it is not enabled, but that there is something called VAIO update. Before I jump in and try the usual windows updates fixes:

Are there really no Bios updates for this PC?
Should I still be able to run windows updates, or is the sony updates feature supposed to replace that?
