Question about Sony VAIO GRV680 Notebook
After turning on the lap top, no display, no lights on the hard disc, only power indicator lights ( green) and flashing light on the battery 1 ( yellow)
Hey I just stumbled across this page when someone brought me their same laptop with the same problem. I tried everything that has already been mentioned but what fixed it in the end was just reseting the RAM and it booted up perfectly after that!

I apologize for not seeing this posting before telling you to try what you already did... =) You say the notebook powers on, but no indicator light for the hard drive. Please try this: turn the notebook on and put your ear next to the keyboard/hand on the bottom. Do you hear/feel the drive spinning up?? If so, then the issue is more than you probably want to hear. However, if you DON'T hear/feel the drive spin up, then I would have to say that your hard drive needs replacing. Fairly easy to do that - but i'm afraid you've most likely lost the data on the drive, if it's dead. Please let me know your resultys. You can email directly for faster help if you'd like, at [email protected] Good Luck!! ~D~

If you have a external monitor that you can plug into the back of the Laptop, and then 1 - power the laptop 2 - press and hold the "Fn" key follow by the "LCD/CRT" key to change display this is to see if the laptop is giving any forms of video, please let me know an update...

If there is a problem with the LCD
display's back light or a corrupted graphics driver, the display may
appear blank but the notebook may be displaying information. Attach an
external monitor to test the display.
If the image displays on the external
monitor, there may be a graphics driver conflict. To resolve this, turn
on the computer and press f8
key, then select Enable low-resolution video
. If the image displays on the LCD display in low resolution, you can
download and install the latest drivers for your specific graphics
driver.
If there is an image on the external
monitor but the notebook display remains black, contact HP for technical
assistance.
Disconnect all
peripherals and repeat the hard reset
Even though users are instructed to
disconnect all peripheral devices from the notebook when doing a hard
reset
, some devices are often overlooked.
Double-check that all devices are
disconnected including: external keyboard and mouse (wired or
wireless), USB connected external drives and devices, thumb drives and
flash drives, network storage devices, PC card, SD memory cards, express
card, eSata connections, firewire or similar devices, printer, scanner,
camera, port replicator, or docking station, any CD/DVD from the
optical disc drive, and any media from the multi-card reader.B324 views

after external monitor was plugged, then press function key LCD/ VGA, still no display, Hard disk indicator still not flushing.
I think problem first is the booting then If check the LCD display, your comment, pls.
