Does anyone have any restore disks they’re able to backup?

I cannot find them anywhere online. Ive seen a few on various websites but they’re a slightly Different model and/or in a different language.

I just need the proper dynamic hybrid graphics system. All graphics drivers are installed, but only the auto button lights up. I also need the driver for the fn keys to work as i have to adjust the screen brightness manually through battery settings.

Thankyou!

Hiya all i have the VPCZ1 that i bought off ebay for cheap. It needed a fan replacement as the bearings were loud.

I have since replaced the fan, thermal paste and thermal pads.

I noticed that the gpu vram thermal pads still had their plastic wrap on it which was weird. And the gpu dye was using a pad to cool the gpu, not paste.

I tried to use thermal paste but it did not make contact.

After installing everything, the gpu and cpu is hovering over 60-70c isle and reaching mid 90s when pushed. I understand that this is a tiny chassis cooled only by 1 fan. But isn’t that too high?

1st gen I7 Nvidia 330m

Thankyou!

Can anyone help me please. I am stuck.
Im trying to figure out why the WIFI is not working, so I want to access the wifi board to swap it or see if there's a loose connection.
However, when taking it apart, it feels like there's a hidden screw at the far side of the top left and right corners. I spent a good hour trying to look and figure out what an earth to do.

Does anyone have any idea? I cannot find Any videos online. Thankyou :)

My echo spot 1st Gen unfortunately died. It had the popular ‘ghosting’ for the past 2 years, and i kept it until it not longer turned on. I thought i would treat myself to a new show 5 3rd Gen. And what a downgrade…. Ads..ads!!! I turned them all off on my old echo spot. And once they’re off..they’re off! (seems simple right?) I turn them off on the show 5, and it still shows sponsored ads!! It just makes the whole device feel cheap and tacky. The UI is slow. Its laggy. Even my echo spot was superior in the responsiveness. It can barely handle YouTube, it keeps crashing or resetting me back to the homescreen. It just feels like i wasted my money. Unfortunately there’s no other alternatives as all my lights are all alexa controlled. Are they all like this now? I’m so disappointed. I will say though, the speaker is a monumental upgrade along with the mic.
