    Please help!!! My three month old VAIO VGN-SZ460 won’t boot; only the ON blue and yellow lights come on; the processor doesn’t make a noise, the screen is black. I tried to start in Bios, safe mode without success. Prior to this occurrence, I made a Back Up/Restore CD with the VAIO’s wizard. I also backed everything up on my external G drive. That is when I restarted my VAIO…..here I am, a brand new computer that won’t boot! Oh yea, it won’t restore the CD’s or with the external hard drive! Is it possible to download all of the drivers and software from Sony and make a boot up Restore CD? Sony didn’t help me…they told me to send it in! I am in dire straight for a computer mastermind’s assistance! Please HELP ME!?! I need my pc for my online classes, I am getting behind :-(

    Thanks!

Does anything ever post to the screen when you press the power button? if not, it's your video card. The links below are for 1 long and 2 short and they say it's the video card. I've heard that Sony extended the warranty on some models so you might want to go to their website and check yours or in a google search type: Sony GPU Extended Warranty. I did and I see they extended it from one to three years. They have the faulty Nvidia Graphics Card which was a major problem for many manufacturers.

Blank screen laptop
Your SONY should respond to the following:

Look for the blue FN key, hold it down (use it like a shift key)
While holding it, look for a key, also printed in blue with a picture that is half sun/half moon. On my laptop is the F8 key. As you press the key watch the screen to see if gets lighter.

Good Luck!

Fter power switch put on it show blank screen and no sound only battery and power indicator is on but hard drive indicator is off. does that is a cause or some hardware problem?
it's possibly a hardware problem but you should make sure it isn't a software problem by putting in your system restore cd and restoring the DLL that you deleted, it could be an important system file. If it is a hardware problem, the first thing to try is taking out your memory and sticking it back in place, make sure it's clean and put it in there tight.

No screen and no sound power and battery indicator is on but hard drive indicator is off
Unplug the power adapter and take the battery out. After a minute, plug them back in and push the power button.
