Can anybody tell me how I can set my new laptop to go to sleep AND wake up correctly?

Currently you can shut the lid and something happens as when you open it it's black and you can't get anything to be shown? This is really annoying as I'm moving around and using it with customers - I'm finding I'm having to appologise for the laptop too many times!

Are there also any guides to what services and components can be removed to get some more perfomance out of this as it just appears slow next to my 3 year old compaq!

Thanks for any help - I would love to get this thing working as good as it looks!

Not sure whether I was supposed to, but I ran the FE41 bios update on my FE31 and it seems to have solved the problem. Great stuff!

That's handy to know, thanks for the info Andy..

Does anyone know how to backup/download/or find the original bios, R0190J3, before I flash-it with the new version R0200J3, in case I need to roll-back.

The bios update works on my FE21S too, all ok and problem resolved, just need someone to tell Sony so that everyone else can resolve this problem !!!!

Hi dy05com,

Welcome to Club vaio.

I would have thought Sony are aware of the update..

Yes me too, however they have finally listed the vista drivers/updates for the FE21S in the support section, but the new bios they have listed for Vista, does not work, and in fact is older than this newer one.

Fortunately the FE21,31 & 41 series all have the same bios, and its working great now thank goodness, as it was sooooo frustrating.

All we need now is for the Undate 3.0 software to work under vista, or Im I the only one having a problem with this ?

Thanks all - I can confirm the BIOS update worked for me too! Strange thing is the laptop feels more responsive too - I think that's possibly just me though!

Thanks once again for all the help and feedback,

Paul.
