20 Most Recent Sony VAIO VGC-RB53 PC Desktop Questions & Answers

Too bad, you may have lost yours

You need to buy SATA hard drives and cables. They should work fine when you install them properly. Have a nice day.

Hello. You need to reinstall the factory startup cd's.

If you have a DVI port at the back of your tower, then you can use a DVI cable - or DVI to VGA adapter - to connect the second monitor.(I am assuming the monitors have VGA cables)If your PC has an hdmi output that should work too, but I am assuming the PC is too old for that.It'll all depend on whether your PC has a video card capable of driving 2 monitors. If it has neither DVI or HDMI then it is probably too old. And probably not worth buying a video card that will support two.

You can fit any PCI Express X16 graphics card into your computer. The biggest issue that you may run into is power requirements. However, the majority of inexpensive graphics cards - ranging in prices under $80 - should be capable of gaming very well. If you're looking to go all out and make an investment in PC gaming, replacing the power supply will make the machine capable of using any video card. 1000 watt power supplies can be found online for around $100.

do you have a driver? if you don't have it download from this link

First need to know more info. what os did you install, did it build from restore disks or windows disks have you any other hdd in unit for example if the old hdd is still in there the pc will have problems. Is it sata or is it IDE or Sata 2

If you are not able to get the disc tray to open itself, you can manually open it before starting the computer by pressing a paperclip into the tiny hole on the front. This manually releases the tray. Then start it up, and try to enter the BIOS setup by pressing F2. In the BIOS setup, make sure that the bootup priority is set to the CDROM drive. Restart, and hope for the best! :)

Almost sounds like your wizard ended up coping everything to your new hard drive. And when you do this usually it causes the copied system to not boot. What you need to do is put your old hard drive in the system and make it the secondary drive and then get the new hard drive and make it the primary hard drive. When you do this you need to install Windows from your Operating System disc if you have one. Once you do this you can put all then needed data from your old hard drive onto then new one. Usually the one and only thing people need on the old hard drive is the documents and settings folder it will usually have everything you have ever saved to your computer unless you have things elsewhere like directly on the c drive instead of on the desktop or in your documents. If you need further assistance don't hesitate to reply.

The green light blinking in the back indicates that the power supply went bad and is not turning on, go ahead and get the power supply replaced. Normally that light is supposed to be fully lit and green.

check you have installed the specific network controller driver which is always available free in mother site.check network service is running or not;ping 127.0.0.1;and check

It could be the PSU (power supply unit), one that has a fan working and where the power cord goes into. If that goes bad then the computer becomes dead as there is no power going to any of its systems. If there is any sign of life in the computer then you can try by removing the RAM and reinserting them. Or by unplugging the connector from the PSU to the mother board. But remember to plug it in in the same way that you remove it from. remember it by the color of the cables. If by mistake you turn the connector by 180 degrees then the mother board will get burnt.

it has 1 gb ram. if you bay 1 gb it will be 2 gb.  if you buy 2 gb you can use together but it supportes only 2 gb. you can only see 2 gb.

Make sure your monitor is connected to the proper video connection- that is if you have a video card in your machine and a video connection on your motherboard. If you connected to the motherboard and you have a video card -your screen will show nothing even though you are powered up. Dont know your situation, but just checking. Ive seen others do this.
