Dead Laptop

Hi,
My Sony Vaio is dead.
It picked up a virus , despite my having paid for AVG protection,
I was in the process of rebooting so I could use system restore in safe mode to get rid of this pest
when suddenly the laptop died on me !
Nothing now , no lights, nothing, even the cd drawer will not open. I would like to restore it to the manufacturers default settings.
Is this a major (expensive) failure, or is there a simple solution? I could open -up the case if I had a clue what to look for.
Bryan.

 

Here's a web site that has a small list of sony vaio service manuals.

Have you tried removing the hard drive? Then trying to obtain access to the bios settings May be a harddrive failure or
virus locked drive.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I will download the correct manual for my machine.
I haven't yet opened it up ,I get to that next.

What I suggest is to verify your adapter has the right voltage.
