Black Screen Vaio VGN A217M

[wpfeffer]

This morning when booting for 2 seconds I could see the Vaio sign- theréafter the screen remained black. This morning was my date for an back up of imprtant files.
Neihter a boot CD nor additional attempts could wake´up the machine.
All support efforts towards Sony support websides evidently areblocked - may be due to the fact that I bought it already in Dec. 2004.

This is not what I intended when spending 2000 Euro for a good notebook.

Who - as Sony evidently does not support Vaios more than one year old - can tell me which compnay in the Duesseldorf Aerea couldt ry to speedily repair my Vaio.:smileysad:

Hi wilhelmhugo,

I have no idea on repairers in your area but the symptoms you describe do pint to a hardware problem and this may possibly be memory related.

Assuming that you have more that one memory module fitted it may be worth trying one module singly in each slot followed by a re-boot. Your model has two memory slots – one under the keyboard and one in a compartment on the underside of the notebook. I suggest that you have a look at your
User Manual for further guidance.
