Ewwwwwww... no fun. You should try a "POWERED" 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub It's important that it's a "POWERED HUB" because you need the HUB to supply it's OWN power and not depend on your Apple E to provide power to your connected USB devices! The good news is they don't cost much: $8 on eBay Auction: 202096902632 Note that they include the power supply! Many other HUBS don't. Your HUB is even LESS if you pick on the USB 2.0. Version, AND YES, each HUB MUST have it's own power supply and that's just what YOU need. The ONE thing I didn't like about this HUB is the LED lights that are provided for each port! They are TOO bright so I opened it up and plucked all but one LED out. I also bought the 8 and 10 Port HUB versions and 'fixed' them too. I also didn't need the switches to confuse things (accidentally turn one or more ports OFF)... so my trusty hot glue gun fixed that! All are constant ON now.

Gotcha... it MAY be a internal ribbon cable to your screen is loose (or not seated 100%) OR sometimes a cable one conductor inside the cable breaks and acts like a switch ~ providing a OK display sometimes ~ or not. A PC repair shop will take a quick look for you for X-Bux and IF it is a loose connector/ribbon cable they MAY be able to fix it for you on the spot... A decent camera repair shop may be a answer for you too? They are very familiar with tiny screws and display repairs. Be careful though and don't spend too much... I would not recommend you open it yourself because sometimes things go "boing" and tiny things go flying. Anthony

You can remove or change the Window's User or administrator's password. You need access to a computer with Internet access to download the Hiren's Boot CD and burn it onto a CD. Then insert this CD into the laptop/computer and boot up the laptop/computer with the Hiren's CD and follow the instructions. There are very useful utilities CD and it a Linux boot CD which contains quite a lot of Utility programs including a password removal program.

Try them in different order. I swear sometimes, they have a mind of their own!! Ohhhh, same can be said for USB devices. One port won't be able to install it, another port will have the driver installed by the time you clicked on it ??

Seems like a virus of somekind. Do you have any antivirus installed?

If you have to ask for a manual, you should avoid doing a "reflow". Very technically challenging, could destroy your laptop, and should be left to the experts.

The things that you tried have ruled out any issues with software. The good news is that the microphone has separate board. Replace it. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sony-Vaio-VGN-FZ145E-Microphone-Board-1P-106C201-8010-/162369519014?hash=item25cdfa3da6:g:f04AAOSwo4pYhvKk

There are a lot of different sony vaio models. You need to find the model number. Sony provides some replacement adaptors and batteries. And Battery World in Australia probably has access to such. You may not be particularly happy about the prices but you likely would get something that would work. That's the problem with going after good batteries for old equipment. The cost may be half of what buying a new computer would be. There are other sources but confirming which are legit takes research time.

go to your device manager and check the sound drivers are there if not right click on the icon and tell it to update driver software. this might work.

hi, the best thing to do here is press f8 on start-up, you will then be greeted with a number of options select safe mode ,and then select System restore, hopeful it was turned on so you can step back before Angry birds was downloaded, you will need to press f8 a couple of times straight after the bios display on the screen...Regards

Cleaning the fan should be a fairly simple task and is best done by using a small artist type paint brush to loosen any dust that can be seen and a straw to blow away the majority of the dust , a hand held vacuum cleaner can also be of assistance to extract the dust or a regular vacuum cleaner but care should be taken in regards to how fast the fan spins as spinning at a very high speed can damage them , also there is usually a exit point in which the hot air is able to escape after been sucked in through the fan opening passing over the computer components which it cools and then leaves via a exit point as warm air , this exit point can also trap dust and needs to be cleaned in a similar way .
