    Hi guys,
    I just got my new Z and it rocks.
    There are a few issues though.
    1. How do I control the duration for which the backlight keyboard lights are on.
    2. The ambient light detector keeps dimming and brightening my screen when in a complete dark room. How to fix this?
    3. How to turn on or off the green power light button?
    Thanks for the help.
    Cheers

    1,2: try check on VAIO Control Center. all the settings for backlight and dimming is there.
    sorry that i cant provide along with the screenshot as i do only have old Z :eek:

    3: the green light of power button cant be turn off. its there when powering on, and become yellow/orange when the notebook goes sleep mode.

    Items I would like to see on a Sony software upgrade:

    * Option to have keyboard backlight on at all times (not just when dark)

    * Ability to save screen auto brightness and keyboard backlights settings PER POWER PROFILE and PER POWER STATE, not just overall.

    * Ability for the green power light to be dimmed, or automatically dim via light sensor.

    * Ability to make the red standby light dimmer (hey, I have this in my bedroom!)

    * Ability to customize all 3 Sony buttons
