    Hello. I have VPCZ2390X with PMD (AMD6650HD inside). But after I messed up with video card drivers (installed amd catalyst directly from amd.com), my system thinks that I have AMD 6700HD instead of AMD 6650HD in PMD. And I cannot roll back now. So, external video card does not work. How is it possible to completely uninstall it and clean install again? And worst of all - I do not have recovery disks available.

    I already tried:
    Driver fusion - did not work
    Revo uninstall - did not work
    Device uninstall - but when I reconnect PMD - system now thinks that I have AMD 6700HD.
    Re-install original drivers from sony.com - did not work.

    Sony advised to use recovery media - but when I bought notebook I was too greedy for free space, so I deleted recovery media space in my notebook... So I have no recovery media available.
    They advised to buy it - but together with shipping cost - they would be very expensive.

    Please help!
    Please advise!
    Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!
