    sony vaio , problem


    I'm using a Sony Vaio VPCS12X9E. Just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The driver for video card is using Intel HD Graphics driver. Since installing, screen brightness lowered . I cannot change screen brightness . I don't want and I can't throw my sony away . I have been really satisfied with sony vaio so far. But now , I don't know.

    Can you help me ?

    Thanks

  2. Windows 10 Driver Updates for Sony VAIO Still Nowhere to Be Found


    For my case (Sony VAIO Tap 11)... it is there in the list of models.

    ... but it turns out i don't need that upgrade 'driver' anyway. The special 'upgrade' mode did nothing to my machine prior to the actual upgrade, and after completing the upgrade it merely installed one single update (to Sony Control Center I believe) that can be downloaded anyway from Sony's website. Working like a charm now running on Win10 (except for a few Intel display driver problems which are not specific to VAIO the way I understand it)

    I presume you are aware that your model doesn't seem to be listed by Sony as supported for Windows 10.

    Their Support page for the VPCEB2E9E only lists software and downloads for Windows 7, Vista and XP, there is however a firmware update for the drive...

    Is it just CDs that you can't see, or do you have the same problem with DVDs? Does the CD/DVD drive appear in File Explorer? Does Device Manager show it as working?

    Oh, strike that, I see you've already said...
    ...and have been struggling with this problem for a while now...

    ...it may be time to accept that this drive can't be made to work and go for an external USB drive instead. *Sad

    USB 2.0 compatability on Sony Vaio


    My computer info

    Device Manager

    sony vaio , problem [​IMG]

    Great. I just spent 1/2 hour composing a message and kept seeing "Auto Saved" keep popping up, but my hand slipped, don't know what I did, but was left with the 2 pics above, lost everything I had typed, and don't see how to bring back what was auto saved, so going with short version of issue:

    • I have 3-USB ports, inside colored blue, 1 HDMI, and 1 SD card reader
      • Are all 3 USB ports 3.0?
      • Is that confirmed by the blue coloring?
      • How can I tell in Device Manager?
    • Does USB 3.0 back-read 2.0?
      • Seems logical that it would, but I have a device (webcam) that, when plugged in, is sometimes recognized, but the camera app cannot run it, that it needs additional permissions but won't let me give them (yes, logged in as admin). Have tried to update drivers (says all current), FixIt, re-boot, etc. Nothing works. Sometimes it is not recognized at all.
      • Is this a typical MS money grab to force new purchases/upgrades?

    Your help is much appreciated.
