The Impossible Driver

This article is about an adventure I had with a Sony VAIO® LT Series Combination HD PC and TV All-In-One Computer. In this specific instance, an LT30 Series, LT32e Model.

The LT Series of computers is an all in one computer that was built in the late noughties (AKA 2000s). From the front, all models are very similar. From the side and rear, various differences between models range from the type of CD / DVD device to an external "subwoofer" (if a 2" speaker can even be referred to as a "subwoofer). Other model differences reflect various internal hardware such as CPUs, Disk Drives, Video Adapters, etc.
