Did you put the special partition within the first 8gb of the disk ?
It'll fail otherwise.

If the Fn-Fwhatever keys don't work you may have a newer model that
doesn't do APM at all (one of the reasons I stopped buying vaios) and
will have to use the (likely dodgy) ACPI support.

zzz should suspend the machine with apm, at least.
