lorenzo,

thank you , thank you, thank you for that trick with disconnecting battery for 30 secs.

You are welcome. I’m glad that disconnecting the battery fixed your problem. This trick helped me a few times before.

This guide is brilliant but I wish there was one as detailed to show how to get at the fan of my vaio FZ21Z so I can clean it and stop it from overheating – otherwise I am going to have to be without it for ages whilst the computer shop does it. Its really annoying that laptop makers dont make it simple to slide the fan out without taking the whole thing apart, so it can be cleaned monthly

Thank you for a very useful guide. I’m always concerned when it comes to open a laptop but with your directions it couldn’t have been easier.

Does anyone know where to get the fan and heatsink for VGN-FZ21Z? I have tried ebay but they are all used.

Thanks in advance

Cyrus,

I have a VGN-FZ190 which used to heat up a lot recently. Yesterday I was working with it and sudenly I saw weird “ant” shape stuff appearing on my Vista desktop then I got a blue screen but the blue screen is also messed up and flaky and u can’t read anything. So I reinstalled Vista and boot it. It worked fine but again after 10 min the blue screen appears and all I can do is to restart the laptop. Sometimes it boots but most of the time I get the blue screen right away.
Any idea of what I can do?

It’s possible that your problem is related to the memory. Do you have two memory modules installed in your laptop? Try removing them one by one and test the laptop with only one module in place. If one of the modules is bad, the laptop should work fine when only a good module is installed. Remove memory modules one by one will help you to find a defective one.

This was amazing. I have a VGn-FZZ140E that hasn’t been working for 4 months and I thought it was because of a power surge. I just removed the RTC battery and then put everything together enough to turn on the power and it worked! Saved me over $300 in repairs because I did it myself.
