Hi, I've got a Sony Vaio VPCSB19GG (bought it when I was in Hong Kong), and just yesterday, after I woke up, something went wrong with the network connection, and I troublehooted it, and came up with this:
'There might be a problem with the driver for the Local Area Connection adapter'
'There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection 3 adapter'.
Annoying but not the end of the world, and I read that I should uninstall some things and reinstall the drivers using Vaio Recovery.
However, after scouring the whole laptop, I find I don't actually have Vaio Recovery Centre. When I press F10 on startup, it says there's nothing there (just black screen with a few lines of white text). I've got Vaio Care which can only work with an internet connection.
This is a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, in use for only about 10 months,
Many thanks for any help that can be given!
Hi hawkish and welcome.
Do you have the original, factory installed Operating System installed?
You can download software (including these drivers), manuals, tutorials etc. from the Sony Asia Pacific website here: -

You should be able to download the drivers on another computer and transfer them by USB flash drive.
There are also a large number of updates which need installing manually - such as Vaio Care and Vaio Update.
When you used F10, did you try just pressing
I would think Vaio Care would work offline. Have you tried opening it and going to the "Recovery and Restore" Section?
Hi blencogo,
Yep, the vaio came with the Windows 7 that it has now. Thanks for the link for the drivers stuff, hopefully the solution will be there somewhere.
I've even tried system restore until 2 weeks ago (when the adapters were working fine) but nothing has happened, I still get the exact same problem.
As for pressing F10, yeah I just press Enter (cause I have no idea what else to do lol).
