Sometimes retro computers can be difficult to restore. But in the case of this Sony VAIO PCV-V300G all-in-one -- and many other VAIO models -- there's a very simple reason why it's more challenging to get working than it should be.

If you happen to have any Sony VAIO restore discs in your collection, please upload images of them to the Internet Archive to help out others.
