Thescorpionking, I have the same laptop and I got to install a clean Windows 8 Pro x Hi, i'm having the same issue after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
My model is vpcse27fx, I tried doing some of the steps mentioned in other posts, but so far i'm unable to make the keys work, only the volume key is working properly. Can anyone give another sugestion? Sound FN keys work but Stamina and other hot keys don't. Try to install the same steps to get install a clean Windows 8 setup.
The function key is not work properly after installation of Windows 8. Please help me on this issue thanks Chhun. I am trying to do so but it still doesn't work.
I also try to contact customer service assistant from sony but they said nothing to do with functions key OS 8. I could not find Current Hybrid Display Driver thanks.
Tried those steps, but didn't work. We do not have Windows 8 drivers for that model. You need to have version 6 or higher. Does your Stamina - Speed button work? What is the driver version listed in device manager?
Do you have the latest installed? Hi, have been following this thread.. I have loved this pc, but the last few days have been very frustrating.. What should i do? Wickwack, It is recommended that you perform an upgrade instead of clean installation per the instructions on Sony Support website and also in our FAQ section because some of the drivers from the Win7 carry over to Windows 8. Regarding your issues: 1 Bluetooth - Can you check device manager to see if the driver is installed?
Is there a yellow bang for Bluetooth? At the very least the Windows 8 InBox driver should of picked it up. Thanks for your reply PeterT. I dont see bluetooth anywhere. This i think should be solvable easily. Additional: Vaio Update doesnt seem to install, same for Smart Network, any clue to troubleshoot this?
Again thanks for your reply! PeterT, Sorry for the late reply. I was a little bit busy the last few days. I followed your instructions and got vaio update installed. However i do not see a bluetooth tree in device manager, its almost as if the device wasnt there. I did install bluetooth from windows 7 drivers, no luck tho.
Sony should be prepared for this kind of situation, they are no low-cost producer. I upgraded to windows 8 pro clean update yesterdat but I am facing three major problems after that. My battery care function which I turned on in windows 7 is still on in windows 8. But there is no way to access that feature in windows 8. I can't find the way to turn it off from Vaio control Center. My speed-stamina switchable graphics keys does not work. All my drivers are up to date.
My function key works well for volume but does not work for brightness. I read previous posts in this section but could not find the sloution for my model number. I hope to receive a solution soon. I would highly appreciate any help. Installed everything related to bluetooth but the adapter is not even showing up on devices.
Vaio Smart Network never runs, VSNservice is set to start automatically delayed, however it never starts, attepting to start it gives error: 0x the class is configured to run as a security id different from the caller. Not sure what to do about this.. I was about to go back to Windows 7 until I figured I should just try "everything" mentioned in this topic I had tried some solutions but not everything together. EDIT: this also solves the battery care issue I think.
Then continue with the installation. Restart your computer. This happened to my graphics update window but I just clicked where I thought the "next" buttons were and it worked. Maybe this won't happen to you but just a warning in case it does. Also, sometimes then I start the computer in stamina mode, both graphic cards are on aka speed mode but switching to speed and then back to stamina solves this.
I'm not sure if this will continue to happen or not. You can check which graphic cards are running through "System Information" Finally, there is no brightness level on the screen when you adjust it with the FN keys but at least it works. Hopefully this works for you and let me know if I wasn't clear on anything.
Good Luck. Please Help. Hi, Peter I followed these same steps for my pc, svs13a12fxs.

Also the LED light indicators for Speed and battery charging don't work.
But so far so good. I did a clean install of windows 8 a few days ago, I decided to not install the official video card drivers from Sony and instead I went ahead and installed the latest drivers from NVidia.
As I skimmed through this thread, I noticed that some of you said that in order to get the fn keys for the brightness to work I need to install the video drivers from Sony. Thus far I have the same problem as the others do with the fn keys, also the led light of my 3D shortcut key turns on when I boot up a game but it isn't set as a shortcut key in NVidias control panel and I cannot apply one because the option is greyed out.
