Last week whilst working on my computer, it hung up so after a while i shut the computer down. When I tried to turn it on again it would not boot, instead it powered up for 2-3 seconds then turned off, and about 5 seconds later it turn on again and made sounds like it was booting up, but the screen was blank, then it went idle. I turned it off and left it till the morning. In the morning i tried to power it up and on the third attempt it powered up as normal and i was able to work on it for about an hour, then the same thing happened. I am not sure if this is an overheating problem, or power connection failure, or whether it may be a problem with the mother board or thr RAM.<BR /><BR />Has anyone had a failure like this before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.<BR /><BR />Regards<BR /><BR />Jay<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 18 Feb 2006 14:06:57 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/a115z-hardware-failure/m-p/13947#M99643 jhfrance 2006-02-18T14:06:57Z Re: A115z Hardware Failure https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/a115z-hardware-failure/m-p/13953#M99644 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Back it up and send it in to VAIO Link<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 18 Feb 2006 14:58:31 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/a115z-hardware-failure/m-p/13953#M99644 kee-lo_ 2006-02-18T14:58:31Z
