    Hey guys,

    When I power it up, it shows that it's powered on, but I don't hear it going into windows and the screen won't turn on and after about 10 seconds the fan becomes ridiculously loud and blows out cold air. What should I do? I am extremely worried as I have alot of important data, most of which are my notes I really need for my exam in 1 week. I called Sony and they suggest I hate it to a repair shop they have certified under then (E-link)

    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Did you drop your laptop at any point? Your fan might've become loose, meaning your laptop shuts down to protect itself.

    No I did not drop it. And it doesn't shut down, it stays on and the fan gets extremely loud. It's odd the screen doesn't even turn on and it doesn't boot into windows (I don't hear the windows booting sound)
