    I recently dropped my Sony Viao VGN-NS20E and the hard drive ceased to work. It froze up and would not load passed the VIAO screen at all so I replaced the hard drive with a brand new Western Digital one, installed Windows Vista and was all set to go.. only to find that half the hardware doesn't even work anymore!

    My wireless card doesn't work anymore and neither does my right-click button on the mouse. Those are the main two things I'm worried about. I'm currently using a wireless dongle to access these forums. Also, the Fn + Volume keys and Brightness keys don't work either.

    [Edit: Forgot to mention the side scrolling-thingy on my mousepad]

    Did I miss something? Is there anyone that can help me, please?

    Go here:

    Sony eSupport - VGN-NS205N/S - Support

    and download the appropriate drivers. Maybe that will help.
