    Sony notebook PCG-492P hardrive installation

    I am working with Sony notebook PCG-492P. It does not have hard drive. I want to place a new hard drive
    but I look at inside the harddirve compartement I see a male connector. As I see all new 1.8 hard drive have
    male pins. My question is Do I need adapter because I can not hook up male with male pin.
    This is very new to me.Thanks

      Sounds like you are missing the caddy or drive connector. Google the other model # on the unit and you may find the connector.

          If you are trying to put a 1.8" hard drive in the 2.5" bay then yes you will need a adapter.

          Otherwise on of these videos should help, I couldn't find your exact model.

              Sony OLED XR-77A80J - 5 Flashes But Turn On After Hard Reset
              by odie34
              I am a hobbyist (not a professional) so please be gentle...

              I recently received an XR-77A80J that wouldn't turn on. (Repeating 5 flashes when plugged in.)

              I did a hard reset by holding the power button for about 30 seconds until the set powered down. I then tried to turn it on and it powered up, bringing me to the setup screen. There's not a lot of detail on the setup screen but the picture didn't have any distortions, so at least a cursory examination suggests no physical damage to the screen. The set appeared to be working normally, but it shut down after about 15 seconds,...

              **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
              by federalhouse
              Hi everyone,

              I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


              **Background:**

              I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


              **What I've Tried So Far:**


              1. I accessed              ...

              Sony KDL-46HX850 Can't upgrade/update firmware
              by dkneyle
              Diagnosed this TV as having a failed main board which I've replaced with one from a KDL 55HX850. They are (supposedly) the same board.

              Being 'Smart TV' it requires a firmware reboot when you swap out boards such as T-Con or main board. It starts with a black screen and flashing yellow and green LEDS, indicating it needs that firmware boot. The procedure described all over the web is to put the software into the root directory of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and it should load that up once plugged into USB1 port. But not for me. I can see the LED on the USB chip flash for about...
