I have a Sony VAIO PCG-61611L/ VPCEE41FX and it seems to turn on. The power button lights up and the coolong fan comes on after it's left on for a little bit. But there is no POST or display, it doesn't make a sound. I'm not sure what to do it is no longer under warrantee or I would have sent it back to Sony. Could some one please help me?

Ltd. Delhi-110052 . Warranty Period is over on 11-03-2014 and my system suddenly stops working on 23-06-2014 just after two months of completion of Warranty Period. I could not copied our work files /folders even after going in safe mode and than try to restart the computer , but not restarted. No Display means normally looks in OFF mode & No Indication except of Power On Indication and back light ON of Key Board. After going through Net i found lot of user had faced this problem. On consultation, Experts told us that it has some problem with Graphic Portion/Module.

Being myself a owner of organisation doing R&D and Indianization of Foreign Defence Electronic Products of MIL STANDARD, we understand and dead sure that this is the manufacturing defect and result of sub standard workmanship of original system manufacturer.

Now first i am going to file my complaint with organisation (OEM) and , in case we dont received any reply with in one month i will go for legal advice in this case to claim fresh piece and financial loss against non recovery of my files/ folders from Company. therefore i request to all persons facing such problems come together and shout for justice by filing such complaints. The solution offered by some users is not acceptable as these are not correct solution advised by company.

I found this thread as I had an unresponsive Vaio, what seems to have fixed it was to take out the memory boards, clean the contacts and reinstall. Worth trying as it quick and no cost.
 
Hello MarkNash

I am having the same issue I believe. The laptop will power on (fans/cdrom power is evident). all three "LOCK" keyboard leds flash briefly then go off, and then nothing. I have taken everything apart multiple times, re-seated the RAM, cleaned contacts for pertinent components.

What I believe to be the issue, is a bad solder on the video chip. Since the Video chip solder is defective, it will cause a no POST issue.

First, there is a workaround to this, if you believe this to be your issue. I have my Vaio to work by simply turning it on and leaving it on for an extended period of time. Eventually, the mobo will warm up and can reconnect and broken solder, and simply turning the laptop off and then back on quickly and it should work. Time may vary, but it has generally taken anywhere from 1-4 hours before the power cycle will work.

A solution would be to have a reflow or reball done on the video chip/motherboard, which is basically re-soldering the video chip to the motherboard to get a permanent, lasting connection. In my experience, it is hard to find someone to do this though (I am yet to find someone who has done it, or is willing to do it in my area).

If you are unfamiliar with this process yourself, you could attempt to fix it by using a heat-gun on the video chip, but if you aren't careful you could easily damage other components or the video chip itself.
 


I am having this exact same problem with my sister in-law's computer. I have tried dusting off the RAM and doing a reset, now I think I will have to try removing/replacing the CMOS battery before I decide to anything over-costly. The weird thing is with this computer if you leave it off for say 20-30 minutes, there's a chance when you try to turn it back on that it will boot up normally to the desktop. It's then fully functional, however it seems a lot slower than it should be (I initially reformatted the HD and reinstalled windows hoping aimlessly that it was software related); that is until you turn it off and even then, sometimes it will just be off when you go back to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
