    I was in the middle of writing an email this morning and the laptop just suddenly shut off by itself and it hasn't been able to start after that. No charging indication, does nothing when I press the power button. Fried motherboard??

    I ordered this online from Sony Canada. How will I be able to get this fixed asap because school is starting soon and I don't want to bring my desktop to school. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

    It's broken. Call Sony for repair.

    You didn't get a low battery warning? Had a decent charge before it died? It's either a bad charger (have another sony charger handy?) or like beaups said, she's dead.

    Did you try removing the battery and then putting it back in after 10 minutes?

    Diid you try powering on the laptop without the battery?
