Can't find drivers for new VAIO PCG-81312M

STU9000 · 27 Feb 2012

EDIT model number is in fact VPCF22M0E it turns out, drivers can be downloaded from here-

http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/pro...2M0E_B/updates

OP-

OK I tried to join the vaio community and ask there but I can't get there stupid website to work, full of bugs and can't get it to submit a question so I'll try here.

Went on sony's website to search for drivers for my vaio after uninstalling everything to get rid of bloatware. Doesn't throw up anything when I enter the model number or the serial number.

Kind of stuck on what to now. If this is how efficiently they run their website then I'm glad I uninstalled most of their crapware!

Just looking to get drivers to restore functionality of the FN+keys for brightness and volume and get the light sensor for adjusting the brightness automatically working again.

Hi STU9000 Have a look here ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/WIN7UPGRADE/ This contains all Sonys' win7 upgrade drivers for 32 and 64bit :)

Thanks. Don't know where to start finding out what all those do. Basically I'm just looking to regain shortcut keys for adjusting volume and brightness, maybe there are other drivers that can do the same or even a function built into windows that allows you assign shortcut keys to specific tasks?

EDIT Well I've got Windows Mobility Centre pinned to the traskbar while I work this out anyway

Looking here,

Sony Vaio VPCF22S1E/B.G4

and using the model number mentioned there this,

Sony : VAIO VPCF22S1E/B drivers | Download drivers and updates for VPCF22S1E/B

should get you the drivers you need.

Will that give me the same drivers I need for my model... which is PCG-81312M?

From what I can find it should be the one you want. Found another with the same PCG model number and referencing the same product number I linked to,

OK thanks, will look into this further tomorrow. This model looks very similar anyway and has the light sensor on it too. .

EDIT I just noticed on the side of the box the model number is actually VPCF22M0E/B!

Drivers can be downloaded from this page.
