VGC-LA1 Can't connect with VGP-WKB9GB Keyboard

[-SeanS]

Hi,

I'm having serious trouble connecting a new wireless keyboard to my LA1 desktop. My PC is now running Win7 32Bit and has an inbuilt receiver to connect with wireless devices. No matter how much I try to pair the two all  I keep getting is the flashing Y on the keyboard. I have tried searching for any relevant driver updates all over but am having no luck at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Sean.

Anyone have any suggestions? Really hit a brick wall with this. Thanks

Is that a direct replacement for the existing keyboard?

I thought the LA-Series Vaios used the WKB5GB - however, I may be wrong.  Different keyboards may have different 2.4GHz RF connectivity.

I presume you have found and pressed both the pairing buttons - one on the keyboard and one on the Vaio?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

It isn't a direct replacement and you are correct LA series use the WKB9GB however mine is falling to bits. I bought the new one as it was going cheap on ebay and was a bit better having a built in track pad too. I have tried all combinations of pressing the pairing buttons and they won't connect at all. I may have to just sell it on if it is a hardware issue 😕

Thanks for your help
