This should give you the ‘Model Name’ that will be recognised on the Support site. In your case it will start with VPCSB - possibly VPCSB3C5E.<BR /></SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">Rich</SPAN></P><P></P><P>Message was edited by: rich912</P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 03 Nov 2012 09:27:09 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/help-need-with-sony-vaio-names/m-p/373654#M17117 rich912 2012-11-03T09:27:09Z
