what a mess...
yesterday my sony vaio laptop stopped recognizing one of my 256m sticks of ram.
today, I opened up the computer removed the ram and put it back in and rebooted.
it worked fine four a couple of hours (recognized all 512m) and then froze. Nothing would work, the mouse wouldn't even move.
so I turned it off, turned it back off and it froze while it was loading my desktop.
now, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen. the HD starts spinning but nothing else happends, no beaps or extra noises, just a black screen; there also don't seem to be any irregularities with the sound of the hard drive (a consistent spinning).
also, my cd drive responds (opens and closes).
I tried to hook it up to another monitor but had no luck.
I'd appreciate any help. I'm on a schedule for school work and need to have a working computer as soon as possible.
thanks for your time.
