I bought a Sony Vaio VPCEL1E1E, and it came with no HDD. I installed a formatted clear SSD and it works, but I cannot find any OEM software for the laptop. I found a Sony Vaio Windows 7 installation online, but for no specific model, and the ASSIST and VAIO buttons don't work at all. All drivers are installed but I don't know if they are the correct ones. I also don't know if I have the proper apps for it.

I found a fix. Hook up to router direct cat6 cable Unplug TV wait a minute Plug in tv qhile holding down manual power button located on left side of xr65a80j bravia until reset screen starts. TV will erase everything and start new. It will ask to remove cable when setting up wifi.

I am having the same issue on a sony xr65a80j. Wifi stopped. Settings app won't load. When accessing settings the TV goes to black and then back to hone screen. Soft reset does nothing. Reset whole internet system from modem to all routers. No diff. TV disconnected from power source for hours followed by soft reset. Nada. Would do a factory reset but need system app access but it fails to load.

Hi @CookieBoy. Welcome to the forum. This part of the forum doesn't get a lot of traffic tbh. You might be better off asking for help over at https://www.avforums.com/forums/sony-tvs.113/

I have a Bravia television for 5 years and on the Freeview Guide, it does not update. If for instance the channel you are watching is "The Chase" (at 17:00) If you choose the "Information" button on the remote control, it will display "Fraiser" (at 10:00) Thank you for your help

tôi không chép nhạc cho máy sony nw a919 được,có ai hướng dẫn giúp tôi được không I can't copy music to Sony NW A919, can anyone help me?

Haha, unless you live in Los Angeles you're out of luck, but there is one for sale on ebay.com. Shipping to me was three times the price of the item, so fuhgeddaboud-id. Same exact problem with Eject. I think he's exaggerating the difficulty of replacing the belts on the CD drive. Also there's one on yahoo.jp/buyee.jp for under $50, claims to be working.

The second one is a small device for automatically putting Sony portable recorders into the service mode created by a user called puzzlingcaptcha: Basically you slot the PCB into the remote control socket on your recorder and it automatically inputs the right, right, left, left, right, left, right, left, pause, pause commands to enter service mode. There's a video in the reddit thread showing it in action. You can read the full reddit thread here: LINK

Came across a couple of interesting gadgets people had created on the r/minidisc reddit and thought it worth posting them here. First up is a "MiniDisc Titling Machine" created by a user called Numerous-Bullfrog745: You can read the full reddit thread here: LINK

So last week a box turned up on my doorstep from the extremely kind @kgallen containing a new toy to play with: a Sony MXD-D4. It's my first encounter with a dual CD/MD deck and I'm really enjoying it. The ability to copy CDs at 4 x realtime speed and transfer the song titles, assuming the CD has CD-Text of course, makes creating MDs a breeze. I think this was probably as slick as things got in the pre-NetMD world and, even now having the option of NetMD, there's something I find more satisfying about tinkering with MiniDisc with actual CDs and not being tethered to a PC (not that there's anything wrong with computers but I spend all day working on one 🙂). I had been planning to record a compilation disc of a particular group when @kgallen put this in the post and so I held off so I could use it for my inaugural recording on the MXD-D4. The five source CDs all had CD-Text so I had over an hour’s worth of music copied across and automatically titled in under 20 minutes. The song titles all came across correctly, with the appropriate upper/lower case lettering, just leaving me to title the disc itself (I must admit I cheated here and did that in one of my other decks so I could use a keyboard). Recording in MDLP is not quite as zippy as SP but is still twice as fast as realtime recording. As well as the High-Speed CD-MD Synchro-Recording, you can record at normal speed (presumably if you wanted to listen to the music as you copied it as, unlike high-speed dubbing in cassette decks, I don't believe there is any difference in quality). Aesthetically it's a match for the "E" line units Sony were releasing in the late 90s/early 2000s but looks at home with any of the Sony Hi-Fi kit of its time: My office stack is getting a little out of hand (there are more in the unit these are sat on) so I think one or two of the decks will be put away for the time being. The MXD-D4 will definitely be staying though 🙂 Prior to sending me the deck, @kgallen had brought it back to life (including installing a new MD mechanism and replacing the CD belt) so hopefully it'll have many years of service in it. I would like to end by saying a massive thank you to @kgallen for the incredibly generous gift!

I never ever got NetMD to work on the MDLP machines (ie pre Hi-MD) unless they were plugged in to the wall adapter, for recording. Of course NetMD doesn't play back through the USB so we must be talking about writing - which definitely takes more power. If the machine is brand new or the circuits are perfectly adjusted, maybe, but most people haven't done a power adjust on their NetMD machines which are more than 20 years old. HiMD was maybe a little bit better.

yes - more or less 🙂

That's how the sickness starts 😂

Next small box with 77 MDs is on the way 🙂

Hi @thrashin. No, I didn't really try it again. I generally use Web MiniDisc Pro and had only installed NetMD Wizard to see if I encountered the same issues as @Distorted Vision. Probably worth a try. I always use a mains adaptor when recording from my PC and have heard of people having issues when using batteries as the power was insufficient.

There's a lot of really crappy stuff going on right now with Microsoft's update of their USB drivers for Windows 11. If in doubt, find a pre-11 computer.
