    Hey all,

    My Vaio CW has been acting up lately. After leaving it in hibernate for a while and trying to turn it back on, everything will look like it's loading and I'll get to the Starting Windows screen and then all of a sudden it shuts down. I take out the battery and leave it plugged in - same result. I do it with the battery only - same result. I messed around with it for like 30 minutes, taking the battery in and out, plugging the charger in and out, and finally it somehow turns on all the way.

    Anyone know what's going on? Your help is much appreciated.

    I have never heard that one. I'd RMA it.
