topic dead or alive?? in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/dead-or-alive/m-p/100082#M95195 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Ma laptop has had a few problems with the dvd drive but now they are fixed. Howver now i have aother problm. The ls time i switced it on, i had an update message asking me to restart so i did. However my laptop never came back on. When i switched it on, i got a blue error message and it was displayed for less than a second. So i took the advice from where i purchased the laptop and i tried to rebbot it back to factory settings. However once stage one is complete and i clicked restart like it says the next stage doesen't start. So i left my laptop with comet where i purchased it. It was there for around 1 week, they had no success. Aparently my laptop has 'a serious corrupt error'. What does this mean? Should i try and request a replacement because i have now had no laptop for 3 weeks.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 May 2006 22:39:54 GMT thundybird 2006-05-12T22:39:54Z dead or alive?? https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/dead-or-alive/m-p/100082#M95195 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Ma laptop has had a few problems with the dvd drive but now they are fixed.

If you have never defragmented or have a virus that can happen from time to time. All you can do is see if it works and if not take it up with Vaio Link<IMG border="0" src="https://ip2.i.lithium.com/4425195774678a9ac07498382000feeff2ff9b70/687474703a2f2f69372e70686f746f6275636b65742e636f6d2f616c62756d732f793239372f546f6e7942656172642f68616d73746572666f6f7462616c6c2e6a7067" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 May 2006 22:52:00 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/dead-or-alive/m-p/100084#M95196 tonybeard 2006-05-12T22:52:00Z
