Sony VAIO VPC-EA36FM/W Notebook PC - Intel Core i3-370M 2.40 GHz Proce Questions & Answers
Switch turn on get white screen
Unfortunately I wish I had better news. Let me explain.The
"white screen" happens on these machines a lot. It appears to be a
problem with the video or video card, but that's not neccesarily the
case. The display shows the white screen on power up until the video is
initialized. Normally bios should initialize it during boot. The fact
that you see HDD activity IS most likely point to it being a video
issue, but that activity if it only lasts for a short time could just be
the drive spinning up and initializing itself. If you see it running
for a much longer period of time, then most likely you're correct and
the machine is booting which means it is the video. With all
that said, there is obviously a failure of some sort in the video or
motherboard. You've already checked the ram, which could result in it
not booting. You also mention checking for lose cables. Assuming you
checked all the video terminations, then frankly there isn't a lot more
you can do.The only real option if you want to keep the existing
machine is to replace the motherboard. Pretty much everything is built
into it, so replacing that will replace both the video and motherboard.
Your local computer store should be able to order a replacement, or I'm
sure it would be easy to find online from several dealers.I'm assuming it's not still under warranty? It may be worth calling Sony if you aren't sure. If
you don't care about keeping the same machine, in a lot of cases when
there is a complete failure like this, it's often times more practical
to purchase a new machine and use whatever parts can be salvaged out of
the old. The all-in-one doesn't leave a lot of options for that, but the
hard drive (and it's data) as well as the ram and maybe even processor
may be able to be ported to a new machine. Sometimes you may find it's
not even worth doing that, you might be better off just porting the
drive and getting better/faster ram and processor. I Wish I had better news, sorry...

SONY CX330 camera shutting down
Why do they need to be turned on all the time? If your using them as security cameras they are not designed for that job. The 330 could be overheating because of the constant use. Some cameras have a built in 'Overheat' switch which could be switching it off.
These cameras are designed for short periods of use, recording things like parties and holiday trips. How old are these handycams? These do get old and the technology in them can wear out if in constant use.

- Dirty or damaged CD: Make sure the CD is clean and free of scratches or damage.

Sony TRV 740 E Fehlercode C:31:40
Der Fehlercode C:31:40 bei Sony Camcordern deutet auf ein Problem mit dem Motor des Kassettenfachs hin. Es kann sein, dass der Motor blockiert ist oder dass es ein Problem mit den Sensoren gibt, die den Status des Kassettenfachs ?berwachen. Um das Problem zu beheben, k?nnen Sie folgende Schritte ausprobieren:
- Entfernen Sie die Batterie und das Netzkabel des Camcorders und lassen Sie das Ger?t f?r einige Minuten ausgeschaltet.
- ?berpr?fen Sie das Kassettenfach auf lose Teile oder Fremdk?rper, die m?glicherweise blockieren k?nnten.
- Versuchen Sie, das Kassettenfach vorsichtig zu schlie?en und zu ?ffnen, um zu sehen, ob dies das Problem l?st.
- Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, k?nnen Sie versuchen, das Kassettenfach mit Druckluft zu reinigen, um m?gliche Blockaden zu entfernen.
- Wenn alle diese Schritte fehlschlagen, kann es ein mechanisches oder elektronisches Problem sein, das eine Reparatur durch einen qualifizierten Techniker erfordert.
Es ist auch m?glich, dass das Problem durch eine defekte Cassette verursacht wird. Wenn m?glich, versuchen Sie, eine andere Cassette auszuprobieren, um zu sehen, ob dies das Problem l?st. Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, liegt es h?chstwahrscheinlich am Camcorder selbst.
