Sony Vaio Pro 13: Why is my laptop powering down before I can log on?

Sat, 19 Nov 2016 02:31:41 -0700

My 1 year old dropped the computer about 1 foot to a solid wood floor. No visible sign of damage. I can turn the computer on but it powers down after between 10 seconds and 2 minutes randomly. Sometimes i can log on and sometimes not before it powers down. I think it might be that the fan broke in the fall and when it tries to kick in it shuts the comp off. Is that potentally the problem?

Sony Laptop: Why won't my computer work?

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:43:05 -0700

So I have a Sony Vaio that I fixed a while ago. The original problem was a faulty hdd. It was fixed by formatting (or re-partitioning I chat remember) and installing Windows. It's worked for a couple of months until this morning when I turned it on and it threw up a "error code 0xc00000e9". I disconnected everything's plugged into the laptop (besides power) and tried again, to no avail. Last night I installed a game (I played it until I shut of my computer) that may have contained a virus. Since you can not boot into bios in Win 10 I put the inatalation disk in and turned it on again. However, after it reaches the troubleshooting menu, it simply reboots, giving me no time to fix the problem. After taking the cd out, to try and restart it, it now shows "A disk read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+delete to restart". However, doing that does nothing. Can this be fixed? And if so how? Otherwise, I might just buy a SSD start from a fresh computer (I have no backups :( ).

Sony Laptop: Water logged Sony Vaio I3 doesn't turn on

Sun, 31 Jul 2016 06:55:30 -0700

My young son took my laptop (running on battery power), into a full bath - it was soaked up to about half the screen :O

It immediately shut off. I removed the battery as fast as I could and laid it upside down and on its side for the water to drain. Later my husband removed the screws in the back (it is no longer under warranty) put the hard drive in rice and set a cool hair dryer on the motherboard. There are no apparent water stains anywhere (or rust), but now (2 days later) after putting it back together it will not turn on, neither are any of the LED lights coming on when plugged in or connected to the battery. Is it completely fried as it was on when it got water logged? Is there anything that may help?

Sony VAIO VPCF 132FX: laptop battery not charging, pulling out charger will turns it off imm

Thu, 07 Jul 2016 01:51:43 -0700

hi there

there is something weird with my laptop

my laptop will not turn on without ac adapter

battery is in good condition

i checked battery and ac adapter and both was fine.

but the problem is even without windows, with battery installed, when i pull out the ac adapter it turns off.

it is not related to acpi driver.

in windows, it says you have 46% remaining battery, but it does not detect the ac adapter.it means the LED of charger input will not turn on and the icon of socket is not next to my battery indicator of windows. it means that the system is working on battery.but the moment i pull out the charger, it turns off.

i hope i explained it in good condition so you could understand.

please help.

Sony Vaio PCG-7184L (VGN-NW240F): Diskpart clean wiped all the data?

Fri, 20 May 2016 04:35:20 -0700

I just did a diskpart clean during windows install and i accidentally wiped all the drives and when i restarted the pc it said 'operating system not found' seems like i have wiped off the OS as well. Though, i have backed up all my data on a 500 gb external hard drive some time back. Can i install the OS from the external drive (on which i have backed up data)? If yes then what's the procedure to do that?
