Static can build up in laptops and make them do strange things. Removing all power and holding the power button down for a while gets rid of it.
Fried as in the post above:(
Blu-ray is definitely getting a lot cheaper now. I just got a £500 laptop with a BR drive in it. Writable drives are down to around the £140 mark now too:eek:
Sounds like you may have fried it then. Were the vents on the bottom blocked by the bed sheets? If it was the HDD then it would at least turn on. Have you tried the static trick?
Didn't a lot of the Sony's of arround that age have dodgy batteries? You could try removing the battery and power supply and holding the power button down for 30 sec to remove any static build up.
Other than that more info needed.
i've used it a few times over the years and its only ever messed up with me once I think. But seen as it was already messed up it was worth a try at the time.
System restore worked in safe mode in XP so should with Vista I think. (only one waay to find out I gues;) )
Try this for your guide...

Have you tried a system restore? It does work sometimes. Otherwise I would backup all your docs in safe mode then reinstall Windows. Get it how you like it with all your software and updates.... Then get hold of a copy of Acronis backup software and create your self an image.
Then if it goes...
But you probably got it to save money right? If you did then you have a car with all the performance (although in a different way) that you had but cheaper to run.
The only way to do that is to get a smaller lighter car which you did and unfortunately because of that you loose some of the...
Nah, we all know good and well the V6 takes that claim;)
+1, I completely agree with that.
It wasn't long ago when I thought a RX8 231 would be quicker than a 1*2 and got told other wise so an ST220.....
Sorry but that is not true. I had a good run with one up to 130 beans on the clock on a private runway once and there was nothing in it when I was behind it or when he was behind me.
I was very surprised at how similar they were tbh.
+1 Roy about the fuel going from the bottom
With the added cost of fuel and time stopping at the station every day I'm not sure that's worth it somehow.:S
Just because the ST220 is bigger don't under estimate them. They're definitely a drivers car, probably one of if not the best in its class as well.
I also think you might well struggle to get rid of one on a good A/B road tbh
I've hit it a good few times. Its there to stop you damaging your engine therefore it wont damage your engine:approve:.
Not sure I'd want to if I went down the remap road though....
If its only 6 months old take it back and they will fix or replace it. Be careful letting your friend of a friend look at it. If they take it apart they might void the warranty.
I have just got one of these.

Seems nice so far (once you get rid of the acer crap that...
I really can't see what power has to do with it:S
For a start when I was setting off the other day I just gently let the clutch out without touching the throttle and the wheels just spun very slowly.
I can also very the amount of throttle I use just as well as I would in any other car...
I would say this is the best value laptop they do at the min. Thinking of getting one my self.
