Today I found a great source with service manuals for Sony Vaio VGN series laptops and notebooks. Links to the service manuals were posted on one of the Russian forums (comment 13). Not sure for how long these service manuals will be available for downloads but they are the time of wringing this post. Some files are large and it might take some time to download them, so be patient.

Thanks for the quick response. I’ve looked through some of them, but it seems the VGN-FW series is a little different. There are only 2 screws on top and the bottom seems to be attached to the hinge. I tried opening it up but could only get it to open halfway. There must be some hidden screws somewhere that I couldn’t see.
I will go through your guides again to see if I can get any clues.

Kevin,
I posted some instructions for Sony laptop here.
A couple of them explain how to replace the LCD screen. Could be similar to your laptop. Read though my instructions and you’ll get the idea.

Hi,
I have a Vaio VGN-FW140E and I’m looking to replace the screen. I’ve been looking for a service manual or some instruction on how to disassemble the screen with no result. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

ravi,
Could be software related problem.
Have you tried reinstalling device drivers for the modem and LAN?
If reinstalling drivers doesn’t help, back up all personal data and reinstall Vista from the recovery disc. If still no help, most likely you have a faulty motherboard and it has to be replaced.

Hi, I have a VGN-NR38GN/L laptop. Neither the modem nor the LAN ethernet port seem to be detected by the operating system – Vista Business. BIOS options seem to be extremely limited.
How do I enable the modem or LAN ports?

Hi, I have a VGN-S150 laptop, but I just forget the BIOS password, and now i have no way to access my laptop. I have tried removed the cmos battery bur it does not help. I’ve heard that SONY stored the password in a security chip and it has to be replaced, but where is it?
Anyone has another way to bypass it? Thanks
