my solution to vaio not starting
vgn-fs215m 4 yr old
put the vaio on hybernate on returning to continue whatever i was doing it totally refused to start.could not believe it, checked the power cord,battery and realised i had a bigger problem.
so i opened the baby up REMOVED THE RAM ,HD and plugged the back into there slots and NOTHING.
REMOVED THE HARD DRIVE and went to visit a friend of mine with a different MAKE of laptop removed his HD and the outer shell of it,THEN removed mine and it's shell as well swopped the HD's and inserted my hd into his toshiba and realised THAT MY HD WAS OK.
WENT BACK HOME and it din't work. opened the whole laptop up and losened & tightened each screw . cleaned the edged of the 2 rams cleaned the edges of the hard disc and put it in the slot IN AND OUT ABOUT 20 TIMES as i thought it had a dry joint somewhere in the socket.
after putting it together again it has been working without a hitch for over a week now.
i think the hard drive connectors get dirty and a good clean will get it sorted out. worked for me.
ps, the 3 lights were on and nothing was on the screen totally black.
