    Hi,

    I replaced the fan of my sz4 and after reboot wirless network, speed mode, sound and bluetooth didn't work. I thought perhaps the ANL66 button board got damaged and so I bought a new one and replaced it too.
    But it is not the button board.
    Is it kind of a software problem??? BIOS??? Does anyone know something??

    Thanks

    What else did you replace at first? What all was disassembled?

    It's possible you pinched some wires, or pulled some connections loose. When you changed boards, was it an exact match, bios version and all? If not, you may have been battling one problem and created another.

    Also, check your bios settings and Sony software for power management.
    You should try re-installing all of the Sony utilities and drivers. If just one driver is missing it could case at least some of this.
