Laptop won't turn on


Recommended Posts

I have a Sony Vaio laptop that won't turn on. When plugged in and switched on the lights come on and it appears to be working but it doesn't actually come on.


I suspect it also needs a bit of a programme clean-up to help it run efficently too.


Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Are there places locally/ people locally that could deal with this? I obviously don't want to pay a fortune as I could just purchase a new one if laptop repairs are costly.


Thanks for any help :-)

As jimbo1964 says..


Turn Off Laptop -- Unplug Power Supply Lead -- Disconnect Battery -- Press and Hold Power Button. 30 seconds.


Replace Battery -- re-connect Power Supply -- Switch Laptop back on...


If all this fails it may be necessary to reseat the RAM Cards.. This sometimes solves this problem..

Yep - this. Sometimes takes a few go's before it works.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
