VGN-NS30E Not powering up

evs000 — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:54:36 GMT

All,

looking for some guidance. Have a VGN-NS30E that is not not powering up. Currently pressing the power button gives a green power light a brief orange light of HDD activity, then nothing, just a blank screen.

Have tried just on AC power, just DC power and battery in on AC power.

Problem started approx a 2/3 weeks ago and, was initially overcome by removing the battery, waiting approx 1hr, reinserting and re-powering. Over the past days, this method has not been successful on every occasion and resulting in the situation today where it will not start.

Any advice gratefully received, am suspecting mainboard issue???

Thanks

HI evs000

That doesnt sound good at all , the issue it could be for a number of reasons really, possibly a failed hard disk, failed psu inside other other components.

Is it under warranty?

Hope we can help,

Thanks for the reply.

Warranty has long expired.

HDD is good - removed and tested.

Any suggestions of diagnostics that can be run while working to narrow this issue down?

Thanks

Hi evs000

Hmmm I see, maybe it is indeed a motherboard issue,

Is there any noticable issue at all when it's started? Is there anything in the Windows error logs that suggest any part, software or other item failing?

Have you tried reseating the removable components?

Perhaps you could run a memory test with memtest86?

Keep us posted,
