    Hi!

    I manage to get my old old laptop fixed (T-150) for a good price (like 300 bux), anyway, apparently the motherboard is now running a Celeron 900 instead of an Intel M, so all those drivers that came with it now won't install (This program was not intended for this model, setup will now exit. "Okay"). I was able to use Un-extractor to like strip some of the drivers, but then I can only get the drivers to work but not any of the app like

    FN Button
    Battery Function
    Sony Notebook Setup...
    Hardware Keys to work...
    WiFi On/Off Switch etc...

    Can someone give me a tip in regards to where I can either

    1. Get some generic drivers that does not check
    (I look through the esupport.sony.com and vaio-link.com website, no dice)

    2. Flash a Bios in.
    (My current bios says no machine name, no serial number.. I am no body! Probably why nothing installs, because I am nobody)

    3. Install or fix some registry stuff that fakes a Machine model number :3 (which I don't think it can be done, I tried googling)

    This new Mobo is a Celeron 900 for T-150 BIOS Version R0032G7! Except the Intel Display Drivers... nothing really installs. What I really need is those FN buttons really. Again thanks ahead of time ;)
