  • Hi I have this exact pc sitting around because it stopped working years ago and I'm thinking it's the power supply as it won't turn on and makes a buzzing or static sound every 5th attempt or so. Is that normal for a bad power supply? Also is the ram maxed at one or two gigs? I would like to get to get it running again even if it's just fir smething to do in my spare time. Thanks in advance!

  • @tlcphi2 The power supply in this computer did not make any sounds when turned on. It did not do anything. I guessed that the power supply was no good. This was comfirmed when I took out the power supply and opened it up and saw that the fuse was blown. I then saw a blown capacitor in the power supply. I took a spare power supply and hooked it up to the computer and the computer started. The easiest thing to do is use another power supply and see if it works. If it don't, something else.

  • i install window 7 for this computer and the audio driver is not working , can you plzz reply ......?

  • @BboyBao321 I am not sure why. Try installing it again if that doesn't work check with the Sony web site and see if someone else has this problem and mentioned a fix. Subscriber azassin225 installed Windows 7 on his Sony maybe he could help.

  • hi i have the same exact model and i want to change the hard drives but thing is that WESTERN DIGITAL just isnt compatble with this model... if it aint too much to ask what kind of hard drives did u install?

  • @proguy5920 I think the one in there now is an old Maxtor 120Gb. Last month I cloned that drive on to a 100Gb Western Digital as a back up but did not test it. I know I don't know everything about computers so could you tell me why Western Digital is not compatible with this computer? I know you have to be careful with RAM but I figure that if the hard drive has an IDE connector you are good to go.

see all

  • How do u remove the heatsink i got the rx650

  • @bunnspecial Ok thx 

  • @bunnspecial well it seems that it will commonly work as a slave along with any other sort of IDE hard drive but when it comes to making it into the main boot device it seems that western digital IDE enhanced hard drives just don't get recognized by this model, i have been doing a lot of research but all i was able to find out is that not any kind of IDE hard drive will be recognize though i cant seem to find what kind of hard drive "DOES" work, :\

  • @bunnspecial It works great, the only thing is that i need to buy a graphics card to be able to run aero.
