Set up my new Dell tft yesterday to work with the TR works fine apart from one issue, where the TR is hooked up to the tft and when booted up the TR’s power light stays on and nothing comes on the screen, I have tryed fn and f7 to switch but nothing happens.  Can you leave an external monitor hooked up and then boot?  When it doesnt boot I do a reset by holding the power button for a few seconds and the TR switches off, but when I restart immediately after even with the tft disconnected, it still don’t boot and I try to do a reset again but it doesnt, so I disconnect everything and and have to take the battery off then restart and it works fine.  Any ideas before I give Sony a ring!!!!!!!!! :D

Hmm Sounds wierd.
I never had this problem. I can boot with my Dell tft connected with no problems.

my tr stays connected to my samsung 173p when i’m at home and its boots up fine. forget the f7..use the intel extreme graphics utility.

Thanks for the advice but the problem is now sorted.  The tft has 4 usb2 ports and the uplink cable for these ports was connected to my Adaptec hub and this hub was connected to the TR.  I noticed that the all the hub lights would come on when the post was happening except the tft uplink light,  So I connected the hub direct to the back of the tft and the tft to the TR, problem solved :D .  Some kind of power issue I think.

Thanks :D

glad that everything worked out for you..
