Vaio Update with MessageID=0008 (model not found on server)

[victor.jans]

Hello
I bought a Vaio VGN-FE41S with Windows Vista preinstalled about two months ago (German version). Up to now I didn't manage to get to run the Vaio Update functionality correctly (automatic update). There is always an error message (messageid=0008) telling me that the information about my model could not be found on the server and I should repeat the update-process later. Meanwhile I upgraded manually to Vaio Update 3.0.00.13220a (a newer one is not available at the moment) but the message persists. Is this message an error? If yes, does anyone of you have a solution?
Thanks for help
Victor

I have downloaded and successfully instaled the above named patch yesterday. So far it fixed my problems with the error message and I was able to revert to my original system language - Macedonian.

hi all...experienced the same problem with my vaio NR11M/S (replacement unit from sony for my bugged down FS notebook) when i did a full system recovery the other day..luckily for me the patch was already out and i successfully installed it and now the annoying message disappeared and now i am able to automatically update my vaio..of course i ran thru the entire thread and read all the posts of many users like me before i ended up with the patch! :smileygrin:

CHEERS!!

Hi, all of you.

I'm faced with the same VAIO Update trouble.
My laptop: VGN-SZ7RVN/X
Serial: 28******-5******

I've downloaded and install the update for VAIO Update. Now it shows the version: 3.1.02.03190

Problems are:
- "MessageID=0008" is in VAIO Update
- e-Support new product registration failed as it don't know my Serial Number. 😞

I wonder why Sony support don't know its own product.

Looking forward any help.

BR, Dmitry.

Hi Shay6anUSA,

welcome to Club VAIO..

Unfortunately the original pre-installed software/applications are not available to download..

Hi tdnskiff,

we had something like this in the past, have you tried phoning Vaio support, as your vaio's serial number may not have been added to the data base yet..

Use the following link to find the contact details: Sony Vaio Support

PS I have removed your Vaio's serial number from your post as this is a public forum..

Thank you for advice.

Here in my office we've got HTTP proxy server with login/password authorization. And it seems to me VAIO Update service cannot work behind such proxy. When I connect through simple proxy or directly VAIO Update works good.

So I think VAIO Update developers have got work to do to fix it.
