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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
