Hello all,
I have a Sony Viao VGN-S150 here that is having a very weird and intermittent video problem. Well at first I thought it was video. There would be times where I'd simply reboot the notebook and no video. No "viao" logo with the chime, nothing. I noticed only the power and WLAN lights were lit on the front and nothing else. No hard drive activity, no activity reading the DVD, nothing.
Yet if I left it set and came back to it an hour later, all would work fine. I've rule out it being an LCD, video, inverter type of problem as it would work on my flat screen monitor while not on the notebook lcd.
Could this possibly be motherboard related? Do these viao models have seperate or onboard video cards? Could that be the problem? i've been trying to run diagnostic tests on it when it's up via Hiren's Boot CD, but when it doesn't boot, I obviously can't get into it.
Any ideas????
Brad
