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

Hi Victor and welcome.

Have you managed to Register your Vaio?

I can't think of any quick fixes and it would be best to contact Sony Vaio-Link Official Support and ask them to fix it for you.

Ive got the same problem with my fe48e - it is coming up with the same message. I have tried registering it - but am not sure if it worked. Can you join the club without registering?

Hi sonysharon,

You should be able to check if your Vaio's registered by clicking here
