    Hi folks,

    I am owning the model VPC-S13 i5 with Nvidia GPU.
    Now here's my problem. There are 2 DIP switches on the mainboard with each 4 pins. The one right underneath the keyboard is supposed to set the screen, whether to set HD or FHD screen panel and/or enable the nvidia GPU (??), and the other one is next to the 3g modul which you need to fully disassemble your mainboard in order to access it.

    So, I changed the 2 DIP switches settings and now I have no more clue what their original settings are. Especially, the one under the keyboard. Without the correct setting, a blank screen will be shown.

    Therefore, I kindly ask you owners at least to show me a pic of the DIP switch which controls the screen and state whether this setting refers to a model with or without the discret NVIDIA graphics.
