Thanks – though as an FYI, it will support up to 2GB (or at least, my PCG-V505DC2K will)…

Great instruction on removing the keyboard.

Do you know how to install Windows XP and get the OS to assign the drive letter “C” to the hard drive rather than the card reader

Thanks

hi mike martinez,

first you should check the compatibility of memory modules becouse it matters a lot, if you don’t use appropriate memory then it can create problems in you pc!

Hey,

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-V505BP and the problem is that it won’t turn on.

I’m pretty certain the battery is dead, because when i keep the battery in it doesn’t turn on.

When i connect the charger to the laptop (without batter) the amber light flashes twice pauses and flashes twice and carries on doing so.

When i keep the battery in and charger in also in constantly flashes with brief pauses? any idea whats wrong and how to fix it?

In reply to caschneider. casshneider,

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-V505BX that the wireless LAN is not working. The wireless switch is on and the green light is on but I get a message that the wireless radio is not on.

Take a look in the BIOS setup menu. In some models you can enable/disable wireless in the BIOS. Check the device manager. Make sure the wireless card is enabled.

I thought the mini card might be bad, but I looked under the keyboard and I donâ€t see it.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but if it's not accessible through the bottom door and not under the keyboard, most likely it's located under the top cover assembly (palm rest assembly).

Hey Guys,
I have a Sony Vaio PCG-V505BX that the wireless LAN is not working. The wireless switch is on and the green light is on but I get a message that the wireless radio is not on. I thought the mini card might be bad, but I looked under the keyboard and I don’t see it. So if you know where the card is and what the problem might be, I’d sure appreciate it.

Thank You!

In reply to Michael. Michael, The CMOS battery wires have a connector. You should be able to unplug it from the motherboard. The battery itself probably fixed to the motherboard with double sticky tape.

Picture would be great, if possible.
