    Hi there, so my SZ740 stopped working a couple of hours ago. I was using it, then I put it into Sleep mode. Tryied to turn it on a couple of minutes later, but it won't turn on. So I shut it off by removing battery. Then tried to turn it on again but the power led went on, battery on, hd blinked, cd blinked, but nothing happened. As I can see, the screen stayed off (you can see it like a green color). The CPU Cooler goes on, I hear it. Nor the Stamina or Speed led goes on, both are off. I can turn on the wirless and the bluetooth goes on. Scroll Lock, Bloq Mayus, Num Lock, none work, they stay off. The Alt+Ctrl+Supr does nothing...

    Well, I left it there. Tried a couple of hours later, it turned on. So I used it, and the Sleep'ed it again. Same issue than above. Left it a couple of hours, turned it on, worked. So I was in Stamina mode and switched to Speed, it told me to reboot, I put OK. It turned off, and happened the same that above, it didn't turn on.

    Sony Support by chat says to me that is something with the Power Supply... I think it's maybe because of the temperature... The problem here is that I'm on vacation right now, I will be home in 3 weeks, and I'm in Europe right now... So I can't take it to service...

    Any ideas?
