    Hello Everyone!

I already visited the sony vaio website in Japan and downloaded various driver however nothing seems to work. In this connection, I would like to ask if there's someone which has the same model that I can copy the drivers or any instructions to follow where I can find this drivers. These drivers are:

    1. Audio Driver
    2. Video Card Driver
    3. Webcam (Motion Eye) Driver
    4. USB Modem Driver
    5. USB Driver
    6. LAN Driver
    7. Ethernet Driver
    8. Others

    Your help will be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    What do you mean by "Nothing seems to work"? Are you getting any errors when installing the drivers?

    Hello coolguy,

    Yup! I'm getting errors when I'm trying to install the drivers that I get from this site VGN-FE30B | ????? | ???? | VAIO | ??? I found the sound card driver in other sites but still I can't find the video driver, web cam, usb, and lan driver. Thanks for the reply.

    There are no original drivers listed in the Japan support site. I found support for VGNFE31B in Sony Europe support here VAIO : Sony Europe

    You can try them. Make sure if your hardware is the same. You can also get the drivers from the recovery DVD. Do you have the recovery partition? You can restore the system to factory state by hitting F10 after the Vaio logo at boot up.
