Introduction to this guide

This guide covers the following important areas:

❑If you have any problems with your VAIO®computer, solutions are

offered in this booklet in the form of a troubleshooting guide. See

“Troubleshooting” on page 8.

There are more troubleshooting topics on the Sony online support

Web site. Go to http://www.vaio-link.com.

Always read these sections before contacting VAIO-Link or your local

Sony dealer directly.

You can also search for more information by using Windows Help and

Support. Windows Help and Support is a comprehensive resource for

practical advice, tutorials, and demonstrations to help you learn to use

your computer. Use the Search feature, Index, or table of contents to

view all Windows Help resources, including those that are on the

Internet.

To access Windows Help and Support, click Start and Help and

Support. Or go to Windows Help and Support by pressing and holding

the Microsoft Windows key and pressing the F1 key.

❑An important part of using your computer is being able to perform a

recovery of the system and applications. This booklet explains everything

you need to know about recovering your system. It is very important that

you read this section before using your computer, and always before

attempting to make a recovery of any kind. See “Before using your

computer” on page 16.

Troubleshooting

Computer

What should I do if my computer does not start?

❑Make sure your computer is securely plugged into a power source and

turned on. Make sure the power indicator shows the power is on.

❑Make sure the battery pack is installed properly and charged.

❑Make sure the floppy disk drive (if applicable) is empty.

❑If your computer is plugged into a power strip or an uninterruptible power

supply (UPS), make sure the power strip or UPS is plugged into a power

source and turned on.

❑If you are using an external display, make sure it is plugged into a power

source and turned on. Make sure the brightness and contrast controls

are adjusted correctly. See the manual that came with your display for

more information.

❑Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery pack. Wait three to

five minutes. Reinstall the battery pack, reconnect the AC adapter, and

then press the power button to turn on your computer.

❑Condensation may cause your computer to malfunction. If this occurs, do

not use the computer for at least one hour.

❑On all models except VGN-TZ series models, remove any extra memory

modules you may have installed since purchase.

❑Check that you are using the supplied Sony AC adapter. For your safety,

use only the genuine Sony rechargeable battery pack and AC adapter,

which are supplied by Sony for your VAIO computer.

Troubleshooting

What should I do if a BIOS error appears when I turn

on my computer?

If the message “Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to setup” appears at the bottom

of the screen, follow these steps:

1Press the F2 key.

The BIOS setup screen appears. If not, restart the computer and press

the F2 key several times when the VAIO logo appears.

2Set the date (month/day/year). Press the Enter key.

3Press the m key to select System Time, and then set the time (hour:

minute: second). Press the Enter key.

4Press the , key to select the Exit tab, and then press the F9 key.

At the confirmation prompt, press the Enter key.

5Select Exit Setup, and press the Enter key.

At the confirmation prompt, press the Enter key.

Your computer restarts.

If this occurs frequently, contact VAIO-Link.

What should I do if the power indicator (Green)

lights but my screen remains blank?

Follow these steps:

1Press and hold the power button for more than four seconds to check that

the power indicator goes out. Then turn on your computer again.

2If your computer screen still remains blank, unplug the AC adapter,

remove the battery pack, and leave the computer for about a minute.

Then reinstall the battery pack, plug in the AC adapter, and turn on the

computer again.

What should I do if my computer or software stops

responding?

❑If your computer stops responding while a software application is

running, press the Alt+F4 keys to close the application window.

❑If the Alt+F4 keys do not work, click Start, the arrow next to the Lock

button, and Shut Down to turn off your computer.

❑If your computer does not turn off, press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys and

click the arrow next to the Shut down button and Shut Down.

If the Windows Security window appears, click Shut Down.

Turning off your computer with the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys or the power button may

cause loss of unsaved data.

❑If your computer still does not turn off, press and hold the power button

until the computer turns off.

❑Remove the AC adapter and battery pack.

❑Try reinstalling the software.

❑Contact the software publisher or designated provider for technical

support.

What should I do if the battery indicator is flashing

and my computer does not start?

❑This issue could be due to the battery pack not being installed properly.

To resolve this issue, turn off your computer and remove the battery

pack. Then install the battery pack to the computer again. For details, see

the on-screen User Guide.

❑If the issue persists after performing the above, it means the installed

battery pack is not compatible. Remove the battery pack and contact

VAIO-Link.
