VAIO® Notebook Quick Start

My optical disc drive tray does not open.

❑Check that the notebook is turned on.

❑Press the Eject button on the optical disc drive.

❑If the Eject button does not work, open the tray by inserting a sharp, pointed object (such as a paper clip) in the hole to the right of the Eject button.

I cannot use Digital Video (DV) devices. The message “DV equipment seems to be disconnected or turned off” appears.

❑Check that the DV device is turned on and that the cables are properly connected.

❑If you are using multiple i.LINK®* devices, the combination or order of the devices may be causing the problem. In this case, turn off your notebook and all connected devices. Disconnect the devices that are not in use. Check the connections for each device, then restart your notebook.

My PC Card is not working.

❑Check that the PC Card is installed properly.

❑Check that the PC Card is compatible with Microsoft® Windows®.

❑Use the Sony Notebook Setup utility to disable devices you are not currently using.

❑If you are using two PC Cards, use the Sony Notebook Setup utility to disable the devices you are not currently using.

❑Check that any necessary drivers were installed properly. See “Using the Driver Recovery CD” on page 40 for more information on installing the drivers.
