    Hi everyone,
    I have a Sony VAIO PCG-9S2M notebook, whilst in use it suddenly died, just switched straight off without warning.
    It will not switch back on again either with battery or AC adaptor plugged in.
    I notice that when the adaptor is plugged in there is no battery light lit on the notebook although I have tested the output from the adaptor and that is ok.
    I have re-seated the ram and hard drive but have not been further into the machine yet as I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
    Any advice would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    So there is nothing that can be done at all :eek:

    your model is too old now, you can get 10 time faster than you have right now. maybe even cost more to fix it than getting a new model.
