Stuck at VAIO logo screen

[Cheapthrills]

Vaio notebook model: VPCS11J7E

I was trying to enter recovery mode to restore to factory settings, turned on with the Assist button and now no matter what it will not go past the VAIO logo screen.

Have tried:

- removing battery and unplugging AC

- a number of bootable CDs and a ubuntu Live USB

Unable to even bring BIOS up it just hangs with the VAIO and insydeH2BIOS logos.

Has the SSD failed?

Any suggestions as to what I should do next?

Hi. I got this from the manual. Good luck.

To recover your computer system from the recovery partition

1 Turn on your computer.

2 Press the F10 key when the VAIO logo appears.

If the Edit Boot Options window is displayed, press the Enter key.

On models with the ASSIST button, instead of performing the steps 1 and 2 mentioned

above, you can press the button while the computer is off or in Hibernate mode to

launch the VAIO Recovery Center.

3 Select Restore C: Drive or Restore Complete System and click Start.

4 Read the information about software or features to solve the problems, select Skip

if you have already tried all of them, and click Next.

5 If warnings are displayed, read them thoroughly, select the I understand check

box, and click Start.

6 Follow the on-screen instructions.
