:smileyfrustrated: HELP! I have a Sony notebook VGN FS415B purchased in Feb '06 which has just died on me- total loss of power & unable to get notebook to respond having tried various combinations of trying to power up battery only, no battery with adapter supply only & both sources connected. (Power adapter lights up). Any advise? Is this a known problem/ defect? As the item is out of warranty Sony do not want to know. IRATE!!
Hi ingram1 and welcome to the forum.
You indicate that the power adaptor is lighting up, but is there any sign of life at all from the notebook, e.g. lights for power or hard drive? If not then it doesn’t look hopeful.
As a last ditch attempt you could try disconnecting all power sources for 30 minutes plus and then hold down the power button for 30 seconds before reconnecting power and re-booting. I doubt somehow that this will have any effect – but worth a try…
An independent repairer may be the answer, but get a firm quotation before sanctioning any work!
