Hi there, visit a computer shop and ask them for an audio video data cable. Also you must inform which connector or port you have in your TV. Thanks.

Either the BIOS has lost the hard disk configuration or the hard disk controller has failed or the hard disk is faulty.
Go into the BIOS configuration and see if it detects the hard disk. If not
then re-seat the hard drive and then boot up the Sony laptop.
If it still does not boot up or detects the hard disk, then to determine if the hard disk is faulty, remove the hard disk and connect it to an USB hard drive adapter and then plug it into a working computer's USB port. This computer should see this as an external hard drive and if you can open the folders and files then the hard drive is OK and the fault is probably a faulty hard disk controller. This is a motherboard problem.
If you cannot detect the hard drive then the hard drive is faulty. To get the laptop working again, replace the hard drive, install Windows, install the Sony's device drivers and your programs.

Hello - Depending upon where (in your home?) you use your Sony Vaio laptop (via WiFi?) you may need a WiFi booster or extender. Or, you may find that moving your WiFi router to another location in your home will improve your connection without diminishing the connections for other laptops used in your home. Perhaps the information here will prove instructive: https://www.repeaterstore.com/pages/wifi-booster-repeater-extender-differences Note: If the router needs to be moved in your home, you will probably need a technician for your Internet provider to come to your home to relocate it and connect it properly.

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

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.

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?

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
