laptop shutting down time and again

[Rajat1992]

hi i am using sony vaio laptop VPCCB15FG for quite sometime now and today it shut down unexpectedly. When i turned it on, it boots up the windows normally but shuts down suddenly after a few minutes. This happens every time i start up my laptop. PLEASE HELP

$25 for a 6 pack of cans.

You can probably get it off amazon or any computer outlet like Bestbuy, Futureshop, The Source.

Don't expect it to fix your issue though, this cleaning out the dust, particulates. If the fan is dead it should be replaced if you know how to. It isn't an easy job.

I would suggest that you take out the hard drive and remove the battery. Boot the laptop up off just AC Adapter and let it sit there. If the fan is dead it will also shut down shortly after.

If it sits there fine just with an error message obviously on the screen due to lack of boot device, than it isn't the cpu fan.

i am thinking of taking to the sony centre if the problem persists even after cleaning it....any idea how much a new fan will cost me?

I have no idea how much a fan will cost you.

Keep in mind any data that you need to keep on the hard drive. If you have any data you need to keep you better inform Sony center before, or get it off yourself.

If sony fixes the laptop, they usually run a full restoration back to the day you got it. So all data usually is wiped off the hard drive.

sounds like internal battery is dead/dying, failing that it could also point to fault ram, HDD. Depending on your symptoms
