Lost Service Manual

no good complaining to this site
You have to contact the seller direct and make a complaint and if that gets no response make a claim through paypal for a refund of the money

Try this WEB site for a service manual.

Travel insurance? Claim against carrier? The store you purchased it from should be able to generate a new receipt if you have proof of purchase IE credit card statement. It's incidents like this that show it does pay to fill out registration forms on major purchases.

Hi

Buy only from an assured source with secure payment, warranty and trade dispute protection systems in place, such as www.amazon.com (go to Amazon's contry specific site for where you are i.e www.amazon.co.uk for the UK, www.amazon.com for the USA).

Amazon has a section called Amazon Market Place, where approved, reputable, monitored resellers supply a vast range of warrantied, returnable goods, under Amazon's oversight.

Use a credit card and you get further protection from your card issuer in the event of a problem.

Hope this helps.

Tell me if there is any chance u could see any light on ur LCD screen?

Or

If u could see any icons or logo, the light in ur LCD usually got faulty in the LCD monitors!

you have probably fried the cpu and motherboard. buy a new machine or claim on house contents insurance. it'll be in excess of £500 for parts.

First you need to find out if you can purchase the fan,

Now you need the Vaio VGN-FJ Series Service Manual,

(PDF file download. Advise letting it download all the way, before looking through it)

Now post back if you need me to guide you. Looking at the procedures you need to follow can be daunting, if you've never done this before.
(Me? Oh yeah)

Try this manual, it will explain and show everything to you. Look in the index to the left when the file comes up and click on HDD.

you should have a (vga) tv-out socket usually blue with about 16 pins in it,if you have not which is unusual then refer to sony for the laptops specs and location of tv-out socket.
The Nvidia graphics card should have one I believe the Gforce go card is the one for your system unless upgraded and is advertised to support this function.
