    Hello,

    I have a Sony Vaio laptop model# PCG-7R2L that will not boot. All that happens is the number lock/scroll lock/caps lock led's and the power button led and a couple led' in the front by the latch come on. It will not boot, lcd does nothing, no fan noise, no hdd noise etc... The dvd drive does make a couple sounds when I press the power button and will open and close. Basically the notebook just sits and does nothing until I have to hold the power button to turn it off. The battery does charge and it does operate like my explanation (above) without a battery and plugged into an ac outlet.I was given this for free and was told something may have spilled on it? It has xp media center, P4 2.4, 1gb ram etc...Does this sound like a mobo issue? I heard pulling the CMOS battery may help?
