    Does anyone know if there is a way to switch from stamina to speed on the Sony VGN-SZ450N without the external switch? I think my switch is broken. Thoughts? Comments? Solutions?

    As far as i know, there is no other way other than the actual switch, i thought my switch was broken, but when i took off my speak grill/power switch i found out that my switch was aligned properly becuase i didnt notice but the grill was slightly lifted, the snap came un-latched in the middle of the grill.
    if you arent sure try to check out the switch board. unscrew the keyboard screw from underneath and take a flate blade and just above the F1 and delete keys and somehere in between you will see small clips that needs to be pushed in/down and slide your keyboard downwards. then you can easily take off the speaker grill/power switch and check it out.
    Sorry if i was a bit confusing :) hope this helps
    Cheers!

    no worries :)
    Correction: i meant to say that the switch WASNT aligned with the switch board and that might be problem, hopefully you figured that out.
    Come back with your results :)
