    I started by trying to figure out my model number and made a thread here, aside from no sticker saying AR6xxx anyone on the laptop but I noticed something on DxDiag.

    And this is what I got

    I'm thinking Sony drivers are looking for model number on my laptop, but some how model number has been lost. Is there anyway to fix this aside from reformatting my pc?
