    In the morning when I put the battery back in, and pressed Power On, nothing happened. The laptop was dead so to speak. Then when I turned it over, took the battery out and put it back in, the laptop started to power up for like two seconds, then abruptly shut down again. I also tried it without the battery, with the AC Adapter in - same thing. (battery was full by the way) It did actually start working after a while, maybe after 45 mins (I have been working, and haven't turned the power off since). I was just wondering, what could've caused it? Battery/loose RAM/power issue?

    It might be worth noting that I did a clean install of Vista Premium about a month ago, and VAIOs are known to have various issues with it. It just occurred to me, could it have been just a hibernation/wakeup issue?
