Hey my sony vaio is not responding. it shows blank screen and
no sound and i ve told to restart in BIOS. please tell me how to restart in BIOS since my screen is not on.
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 :-(

Pressing f2 or g3 won't help.the screen is totally blank and it's not on at all. I have the same problem and i'll try to sort the problem with my computer.

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.
Hi,
Upon starting go to bios settings, click "F2" to access the bios, go to to exit, choose "Default Maximum setting", save upon exit....restart.
Hope that helps you out, msg. me is there are still problems.
Thanks for asking FixYa!
Please press and hold the F2 Key while restarting the Computer to access the BIOS Utility Windows/BIOS settings. Please make sure that you press and hold the F2 Key at the Sony VAIO Logo screen while restarting the Computer to access the BIOS window. You may need to press the F10 Key to Save the changes made, F9 to restore the default values or Esc to exit the BIOS.
Hope this helps.
Please post back if you require further assistance.
pls consider changing ur RAM issue will be resolved most likely ok let me know , there is strong chance ur RAM is faulty, if power comes but unable to start the system u see blank screen and no hard disk activity and light blinking then it is the RAM issue
pls rate me if i solved ur problem or explain ur problem in detail
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.
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.
