Sony VAIO PCG-394L won't power on 2

[ceil32]

I have a newish Sony VAIO laptop - nothing obvious happened, but now it won't power on or give any indication of power - no led's lighting or anything

Battery is charged and cable secure.

Any ideas?

Thanks..

if it's NEW, then take it back you got warranty on that thing...

troubelshooting 101 - Remove the battery, unplug it, hold the power button down for like 45 secs to a minute.
Plug back in, replace battery, try again.
If this doesnt work, take it back.

IF it's out of warranty...put a meter across the power supply, or test it in some other way...use your imagination. I agree with the others if the factory warranty is in effect, you might want to send it in.

As an aside, if I were to return a personal laptop, I would remove the HDD and replace with another blank similar or exact model. Since this has nothing to do with your problem, it should not affect the warranty, and many times they just send out refurbs rather than fix your model.

Once something leaves your home you have no control over it. Best of luck.

Thanks for all the suggestions - it was bought in the Middle east and I'd have to send it back there to get it fixed - was hoping to fix it myself..
