    Rage mobility driver

    So after hassling with this blasted little Vaio PCG-C1VN Picturebook I finally got it loaded with an up-to-date install of Windows FLP and got it pretty much as decked out as I can get (short of the rare 300mb ram upgrade).
    The only issue I'm having is with the confounded ATI Rage Mobility-M1 (the 1 denoted it's the 8mb model) graphics chipset.
    The Sony driver installer provides some sort of driver but windows says there are missing files (and I don't know where the installer extracts the driver files) and fails to install the driver so I'm stuck at 640x480, google has yet to yeild a hit for a suitable replacement and even ATI says that the model GPU exists however supplies no information on where to find the drivers.
    Any assistance?

    Unrelated to the issue above, another thing I noticed an issue with is that I don't have any power saving options. This thing does support standby/suspend/hibernate mode but windows didn't configure itself to use it when it was installed and I lose a good chunk of my battery life when I'm not using it. Is there a way to enable it again?

      FLP=XP when it comes to drivers.

      I found it on driverguide.com, but it is too big to attach, ill PM with my email so i can get it to you that way.

      enjoy!

          As in enabling ACPI in the BIOS? The BIOS does not have an option for that so I'm assuming it's locked on by default.

                  Try running Windows update? Sometimes it offers drivers for random hardware.

                      I have and ATI rage mobility card in my old Dell Lappy. I have the driver for it from Dell as well as from ATI. Let me know if you want it and I will attemp to email them to you.

                              Same here, I had an Inspiron 9300 that Dell never posted updates for, so I used the ATI Mobility Modder Tool to be able to install the latest driver set for mobile chipsets. I didn't see the OP's hardware listed on there, but maybe it's worth a shot?

                                  I hate this god damn time limit.
                                  I checked the Computer tab in the device manager and it says the system is an ACPI PC sp ACPI is already enabled. Bizarre.

                                      I could be way off the mark, but I think I recall some power saving options go awol if you don't have the correct graphics drivers installed.

                                                          Try the driver for the Inspiron 3800. It came with the ATI Mobility-M1.

                                                              The file for the ATI Rage Mobility M1 in the Sony Vaio PCG-C1VN is on the Sony site. Its six something megs. Its number may be VDO772AXPB. It tried to mail you this one and it was returned again! The AMD/ATI site did state that the driver for you unit is porpriatary to Sony and you must use the sony driver version. It has something to do with your flat screen in your unit.

                                                                      Could your missing files be DLL's? Sony listed a few DLL packages for your unit. Speaking of resoluton I had some issues when I added the Flat screen optiquest Q9 to my Lappy. Windows Xp loaded some sort of driver for it and it worked but not very well. At anything above 800x600 the picture was way to bright and the colors sucked! I searched out the real Optiquest Q9 drivers and installed them in Xp. On the reboot the Optiplex came right in at its native resolution setting and looked great.

                                                                              as soon as i fix the chandelier to the ceiling and bury the driver inside the hub,...

(Code 39) the drivers is : gl usb2.0 uvc camera device driver and i also get this mesage: Windows found driver software for your device but encou​ntered an error.
                                                                              but it is quite strange because it did work on this same OS for one week ago and even for sometimes ago on that same but now nix.
                                                                              any help?

The successfully TV turns on, and the backlights light up, and I get a picture, but there is a section that is dim. I took it apart and 1 out of 4 segments of backlight LEDs are not lighting on both sides of the TV (in other words, the same segment is out on both LED strips).

                                                                              I tested the LED strips with my LED tester and all of the LEDs light properly, so I believe the problem is with the PSU/LED driver board (BN44-00428B). The voltages at CNM810 (between PSU and main board) look ok to me. The voltages at CNL801A and CNL801B look off for one...
