Computer won't turn on.

I turned the computer off and tried to turn it back on, but instead of turning on, the green power button started lighting on and of every so often. I took the battery out so it stopped flashing. When I put it back in, it was the same. I also noticed that when I click the power button, the light that says that "you are charging the computer" comes on and if i hold it, it stays on. When I actually charge it, it sometimes lights up and sometimes doesn't. Can you please help?

Hi,

What is the model number of your Vaio laptop?

Try the following:

Remove the charger, then remove the battery pack from the laptop.

Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds then release the button.

Connect the charger to the laptop and switch on the charger. (leave the battery out of the laptop at this stage).

Start the laptop.

If the laptop starts, allow it to boot all the way to the Windows desktop.

When the laptop has 'settled' down, (i.e HDD light is not continually on) shutdown the laptop in the normal way.

When the laptop has completely shutdown, switch off and remove the charger from the laptop.

Re insert the battery into the laptop, reconnect and switch on the charger and start the laptop.

If the laptop starts allow it to boot all the way to the Windows desktop. Once there check the charge state of the battery. If it is charging allow it to fully charge before switching off the charger and removing the charger from the laptop.

Hi, Is it a Sony? You listed it with Vizio in the question above.

Regardless, try removing the charger, removing the battery and then reseating the RAM module(s), i.e. remove the RAM module(s) from their slot(s) and re insert them. Then re-install the battery, connect the charger and try to switch on.

jayeff 의 2016년 12월 1일

Umm, oops i ment vaio sorry. And what is a ram module?

kdcao1 의 2016년 12월 1일

Hi,

A memory module (or RAM -Random Access Memory) is what the laptop or any computer uses to store temporary data so that it can function. Permanent data is stored on a HDD (hard disc drive).

Here is a link to the user manual for your laptop. It is the same guide for several models so do be alarmed that the model number is different on the 1st page.

Scroll to p.117 to view the pre requisites and procedures for removing the memory module. To install reverse the procedure. The module has a key slot so it only goes in one way. It should go in easily, do not force it. Make sure that it latches when fully inserted.

kdcao1 try removing one stick of memory at a time and try booting with just one stick in at a time . If there is only one stick see if you can get another dimm of memory and try it . This is often what happens when memory fails . you may also want to try connecting an external monitor to make sure the problem isn't the screen . When you start the machine does it beep ? If so what are the beeps, long or short, how many beeps? Does it flash the bios screen?

If your laptop has t dimm of memory pull one at a time and test to see if it works if theres no joy put it back and pull out the other one . your testing to see if one dimm or stick of memory has gone bad . however some laptops only have one dimm so if this is your case try to find a stick of memory to test in the laptop

Jimfixer 의 2016년 12월 1일

How do you take off the memory cards? Thanks

kdcao1 의 2016년 12월 1일

Sorry was thinking this was sony Vaios, the Vizio has soldered in memory and is not removable

Jimfixer 의 2016년 12월 1일

Hi @jimfixer ,

He got it wrong. The model he has and number he gave when questioned is for a Sony. Vizio was listed in the question by mistake. See his comments in my answer section.

Hi @Akshay Kumar

Try creating a Win 10 USB recovery disc from any known working Win 10 PC. Go to Control Panel > Recovery > Create a recovery disc and follow the prompts. You will need a 8GB flashdrive and 40-60 minutes of time.

When you have the recovery disc, start the laptop and get into BIOS. Change the boot order to USB 1st boot option and also enable USB Legacy setting (or CSM setting - not sure as you don't say the model) save the changes and insert the flashdrive and then restart the laptop.

It should boot from the USB.

When it does go to Troubleshoot > Advanced > Startup repair and follow the prompts.

If your computer isn't turning on at all or no lights are blinking then you probably have power issues. So, unplug your computer and plug it directly into the wall outlet then you see your computer is working but make sure the power switch on the back of your power supply is flipped on, and if the outlet is connected to a light switch, make sure that switch is turned on too.

Hi,

I have Sony Vaio SVE model and it is not booting at all. Tried the static electricity 2 mins and all that no results.

Tried the RAM and Hard disc cleanings re-fitting them. Nothing happens. Tried to boot from the USB still I do not see Vaio logo coming. When I switch ON it does not boot and I see only bank screen and even the fan is not working.

I do see the power light on when I plug the electricity in.

It is dead laptop or there is hope to instal Ubantu and use it? Please suggest options.

thanks
