What is it you do to make it start up, that might tell us what the problem is. Really, supports help shouldn't just be 'See troubleshooter'.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 14 Aug 2004 09:29:19 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/startup-problems-with-vaio-k115s/m-p/9913#M127081 TygerTyger 2004-08-14T09:29:19Z Re: Startup problems with VAIO K115s https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/startup-problems-with-vaio-k115s/m-p/9916#M127082 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The troubleshooting guide tells me to:<BR />Hold down the start button for 20 secs, then try starting again.<BR />If this doesn't work, then hold the start button for another 20 sesc, then try starting again.<BR />Then try removing the battery and starting up on mains power.<BR />If this doesn't work contact support.<BR />9 times out of 10 it will start up by following this.<BR />Support told me the same thing and also suggested removing and re-seating the RAM.<BR />It will start up eventually after following these steps!<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 14 Aug 2004 10:00:58 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/startup-problems-with-vaio-k115s/m-p/9916#M127082 andy2401 2004-08-14T10:00:58Z Re: Startup problems with VAIO K115s https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/startup-problems-with-vaio-k115s/m-p/9918#M127083 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Once I get It started, I can shut down and restart with no problem, if I start it within about an hour.
