[BrunoConc]

A vaio laptop, with vista windows worked normally yesterrday and trying to start up today and doesn't start up. the power supply, green light goes on and stays on, but only thing it happens is when i press and as long as i press the orange light of the battery lights up but goes off as i unpress the power button. Nothing happens other then that... Any tips??

Tried use cable only and battery only...same thing!!

Dead motherboard. You can try a reflow or simply replace it.

You're welcome.

A very basic way of reflowing, but not the best way to go about it, is to use a home oven. It's referred to as the "baking method." Sometimes it works for laptop video cards as well. Heat guns are sometimes used also, and are better at reflowing specific sections of the circuit board.

The best way to do it, though, is with a reflow station, but these are expensive.

Yikes! Well keep a close eye on it. It still sounds like that motherboard is on its last leg.

But that's great that it's working for now!
