Hi ATCHERSERVICE,

I think you are quoting the chassis model number rather than the Product Model Number. You should find the correct reference on either the screen surround or possibly above the keyboard – it may possibly be a PCG-FX series.

Once you have the correct product number you will find available drivers on the Sony Support site but most of the original Sony Software is not available to download. If you wish to return the machine to factory settings including all pre-installed software you will need the recovery media that can be purchased from Sony Support at a cost of approx. £50.
