I had to remove the battery, diconnect the power, remove the extra RAM I had installed when I purchesed the PC. Then I had to hold down the power switch for 20 seconds before plugging the power back in and switchibg on the PC. God knows what this procedure did but it worked? I have now re-install ed the extra RAM and everthing seems to be working fine. <BR /><BR />Many thanks for your efforts to help though.<BR /><BR />TigerDave<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:40:49 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65513#M124761 TigerDave 2004-09-28T19:40:49Z Re: I Can't Swich My Sony Vaio GRT786M Back On! https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65514#M124762 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Ah yeah thats usually one of the first replies we give...<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:49:53 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65514#M124762 kee-lo_ 2004-09-28T19:49:53Z Re: I Can't Swich My Sony Vaio GRT786M Back On! https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65515#M124763 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I can understand part of the procedure, ie removing the battery etc. but I really don't understand why they told you to remove the extra ram that was installed.<BR /><BR />William<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:49:58 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65515#M124763 William 2004-09-28T19:49:58Z Re: I Can't Swich My Sony Vaio GRT786M Back On! https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65516#M124764 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Maybe to protect the RAM?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:55:04 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65516#M124764 kee-lo_ 2004-09-28T19:55:04Z Re: I Can't Swich My Sony Vaio GRT786M Back On! https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/i-can-t-swich-my-sony-vaio-grt786m-back-on/m-p/65517#M124765 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Nice Bike William.
