Vaio VGN-xxxx Black Screen

[engineerFAIL]

hi,

My vaio has 100% Black screen..

Ive tried a couple of things:connect to TV,unplug battery,boot in safe mode,,,NOTHING..

Everything seems to work but not the screen!

I guess its the graphic card

Ive looked and I havent seen any information about this issue...

IM supposed to change the graphic card?

Is there any way to recovery my PC without screen?Maybe a bootable fix cd?

I dont believe in Sony neither nvidia.

Fail

Try to do a hard reset. It's like draining all the power on the motherboard. You can probably call support and have them wal you through.

I do think that this is a hardware issue.

Can you tell us the full model please?

You say you have tried connecting to a TV.  Is this by the monitor VGA output?  Is nothing shown on an external monitor?

Have you tried shining a torch onto the screen?  Can you see any image at all?

My model is the famous VGN-NSS1....

Yes ive tried with VGA output and nothing..

Screen is completely black 100%...

Im sure thousands of people had same problem with this model...

From what your saying your correct, it does sound like the graphics chip. Its the solder that they use on certain models, its very poor.

It isn't a seperate graphics card on your model, it is actually a graphics chip that is soldered to the board. It can be replaced by certain laptop repairers. Saying this, once it has been replaced the same thing can just happen again a few months down the line. Maybe think about a new laptop at this stage?

Hope this helps.
