Sony VAIO VGN-FS740/W help needed

Antwon47x · 07-15-2008, 04:31 PM

Hello, My names Tony I love working with computers. This Sony VAIO VGN-FS740/W that I'm currently working on fixing up ran me into some problems. It is about 2 yrs old and was becoming pretty slow and didn't have any important documents or programs on it so i decided to reformat and start fresh. I cant seem to get it working 100% stable. My wireless network card doesn't connect to my router so its hardwired every time in use, the Fn button doesn't work for easy volume adjustment and brightness control. And I'm sure there are many other things i haven't even noticed. I believe the problem is just drivers. If someone could assist me on giving me a list of drivers to download and update my system or any other ways to get my system working stable I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks alot.

Hi,

Try this http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNFS740W

Start with the Original Drivers then do the Update.

EDIT:
In installing the drivers start with the CHIPSET driver first.
Refer to http://www.techsupportforum.com/hard...facturers.html
on how the order of drivers should be installed.
