I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CS36GJ i just install it with window 7, with the VAIO Windows 7 Upgrade Campaign,i was given the home premium 64 bit upgrade kit, after installing the fn + F5 and F6 worked displaying this picture i attached. but i can't change the brightness, it only goes up and down by one bar, is this the driver issue? no conflicts are found in the device manager. can this be fixed?

Hapoogold gave me the driver download site, all i need to do is just download the driver. and install it. I guess this only applies to the sony models that is applying for the Window 7 upgrade Campaign. if you try to install the driver and it says it's the latest driver. you can try to uninstall your driver and reinstall with the one you have downloaded. Hope this helps i am not really a computer person...

I used Event Managment for my AV Mode, by right it should auto detect because it's in the motherboard. but you can try to download from the site: VGN-CS36GJ : Downloads : Support : Sony Australia

i will try to find out more then i will update this post.

maybe you might want to let windows update do abit of updating first? then see what happen next? or you can send it to sony's servicing center, it's faster that way, ( by the way my laptop model cannot be found also.... how weird.... )

Oo that's good news, err as for the FN and other, i belive it's call the event manager as the driver, you can try to download and install that and see if it works, or you can let windows update do the updating of drivers. just try and error that's what i do with my computer (By the way your laptop is the same model as mine lol )

Hi Hapoogold ! This is MeJoy.
The Brightness issue in Vaio VGN-CS36GJ which Yuki was facing once in Win-7 Home Premium 64-bit,is at present faced by me in Win-7 Home Premium 32-bit.
I read that you were successfull in fixing his problem by providing this link

Download Link: Windows 7 Upgrade NVIDIA Graphics Driver Upgrade Version 8.15.11.8640 : Sony Australia
But this is for 64-bit O.S. and is not accepted by my 32-bit running laptop.
Can you please provide a similar link for 32-bit Win-7 Home Premium running systems?Many Thanks in advance!

Dear all,
I have the same problem with my sony vaio (window 7, professional, 32 bit) after new installation. I installed all the driver for my model from sony website. My brigtness key is not working and there is no icon of brightness in window mobility center. Also the screen saver says that you require a new video card or that one is compatible with Direct 3D.

Here is the link to my model where i downloded all the drivers:

VAIO : Sony Europe


Kindly help me.
Regards,
Ankit
