Hi All
I've got a Viao PCG-GRX316MP laptop that having problems booting up. When I click on the power button, the power stays on a steady green, the hard drive light comes on for a maximum 5 seconds at most then goes off. Nothing appears on screen from the minute I press the power button.
Originally, if removed the battery and left the laptop for 1/2 a day or moe then tried to power it back on, the laptop booted up fine. I've removed the hard drive and connected it to a pc and was able to access the contents of the hard drive fine.
Since removing the hard drive, the latop will not boot at all now even though i'm still getting a steady green power button and the hard drive ligt going off after 5 seconds.
Someone suggested changing the ram and the cmos battery, I've changed the ram but I can't figure out how to open up the laptop so I can change the cmos battery. I've removed all the screws that have an arrow beside them but I still can't open up the laptop. I've also be unable to locate a service guide which will show me how to open up the laptop.
If anyone can advise on how to open the laptop or better still, has a guide or diagrams on this, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Rachel
Hi Rachel
Sounds like something might have failed on the motherboard. Thank god you got the data off the disk!
Not really sure what to suggest.
