VGNZ31XN/B Laptop and SD Memory Card Problem

[bsekercioglu]

I have a VGNZ31XN/B Laptop but i couldnt find the correct driver for SD Memory Card. SD\VID_02&OID_544d&PID_SD02G&REV_3.5

There is no dedicated Windows 7 driver, so I would install the original Vista drivers for the SD and Memory Card slots.

Install the 3 Ricoh drivers on this page: -

I assume you are running 32-bit?

Dear all,

I'm havinghe same problem. I also have a VGNZ31XN laptop and installed Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit). But now there are several thing that don't work anymore :s Among which the SD card slot. I can't even install the Vista drivers?

Does anyone have the same problem and found a solution yet?

Thanks for sharing!

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

If you have changed to a 64-bit system then you need to find 64-bit drivers for everything that Windows 7 cannot supply.  The 32-bit drivers from the download site for your model will not work.  Look in Device Manager and see how many devices have a yellow "!" to show that the driver is not installed correctly.

I suggest you try the drivers from the Vaio VGN-Z5 Series as this model was sold with Windows 7 64-bit installed.

Go here and try installing the three 64-bit Memory Card Drivers: -

This link does not seem to work anymore?

Is there somewhere else I can get the original software and drivers for a Vaio VGN-Z5? (I don't have the recovery centre, and also the stamina/speed control and SD Memory Card slot do not work.)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Robert

Hi Robert,

The Vaio Support website has been migrated since that post was made.

Try the new link here: -

http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/VGN-Z5/updates

The Stamina/Speed switching requires the Sony Graphics Drivers to be installed.  You will need to install the nVidia Driver 187.35 which you will find under the Windows 7 Updates Tab.  Install in Speed Mode.

For the SD Card slot, you need to install the Memory Card Drivers - there are 3 in the Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities Tab.

Thank you.

I don't suppose there is any quick way to download all the drivers, rather than one at a time? I suspect they all need installing!

'Fraid not.

On older models you could download them as 2 .zip files - Drivers & Utilities - but this seems to have been changed to individual files for more recent Windows 7 models.
