Hi All, Well, stick a fork in me because I'm done. I have tried removing everything I can from the motherboard to try to track the problem component down. With the CardBus or Audio/Memory removed the laptop will not even post. The power light and fans come on but no BIOS post, hence no boot...

Hi All, I have some more information that I hope will help. Since we all seem to agree that the problem is related to a driver loading while the device is bad I booted into Safe Mode. While I was booted under Safe Mode the laptop did not turn off. I had it on for over an hour with no shut...

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good program the test my motherboard components? Hopefully a free one. Thanks for any help, Charles

Hi rclarke250, I have never tried Linux, so far. The PCG-K33, PCG-K35 and PCG-K37 all contain the same type motherboard. I can take a hard drive from the K33 and install it in the K35 but it still shuts off. So, the answer to your question is no. A hard drive from another laptop (that works...

Hi rclarke250, I was afraid of that. I pretty much thought the switch was tied to the card itself (My VAIO has a on/off switch). Guess I will be forced to disable the wireless device whenever I plug a network cable into my laptop. Thanks for the info, Charles

Hi All, I installed a Broadcom BCM43222 a/b/g/n mini-PCI device to replace the standard wireless mini-PCI device that came with my VAIO. The 1 problem I would like to fix may not be possible. That is way I am here, to ask other people that know more than I. The wireless switch no longer works...

Hi All, I have a client that uses FocusPOS Restaurant/Bar software with PosiFlex hardware. They currently have PosiFlex KS6215 terminals. They want to add another terminal but the cost of new PosiFlex terminals is out of their reach. Since I can't find any used terminals of this model I am...
