Sony Vaio Laptop won't start!
Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio VGN-C1Z (or VGN-C1Z/B) laptop, I have had it for 3 years this chrstmas and it was new when I bought it, so I am the only owner.
I have never had problems with it before, I have good internet security, AVG updates every day and scans every day and I am careful about what websites I visit so it is unlikely it is a virus.
The problem is...
When I turn it on the Power button lights up and so do the "Caps lock", "WLAN", "Bluetooth" etc lights and it makes the normal quiet whiring noises, however the screen remains completely black, not even a flicker. At first I thought it might be a problem with the screen but it doesn't make the into noise that they make when turning on either which gives me the impression it isn't loading up at all.
The first time that it did this, I was using it (I think I was on Facebook or eBay or something, I use them a lot so they shouldn't effect it), I left it for a few minutes to get a drink, came back and it had completely frozen, the keys and mouse (touchpad) wouldn't work so I turned it off and restarted it and that's when it started going wrong. :(
I have tried...
Switching it off, on, taking the battery out, leaving it unplugged, pressing various keys when turning it on...
I can't think of much else to do and I don't want to pay for it to be fixed.
Has anyone got any idea what is wrong with it?
Please help asap - anything is welcome!
Sorry its abit of a long question!
