Dropped my vaio laptop, now not booting up

nithish24x7 · Apr 9, 2018

Dropped it from about 1 to 2 feet. It was turned on when it fell, immediately after falling it powered off, after which it won't turn on. I'm sure that the problem is not in the HD, since it doesn't even turn on, let alone finish bios to give the "Operating system not found" message. I have tried booting up without battery using charger. I left it over night without battery and charger to leave it ESD (as I have a malfunctioning power button that I can't hold down to discharge). I have checked the CPU (no bent pins or broken socket). The GPU is soldered so nothing to worry about. The two ram sticks don't seem to be damaged. Every time i press the power button, the power and charging lights (which are normally what will light up when holding down the pw. button) light up, and instantly go off when the button is released. Except for the light there is nothing else happening, no fans spinning, no display, no sound, nothing... Except for once this morning when it actually turned on and gave the OS not found msg(since I booted without HD). After a few seconds it turned off.

Hope I have given enough info
Thanks
My laptop is a vaio vpceh 35 en

Edit: it was connected to a external monitor and was charging so it didn't hit the ground in full force, the fall was slowed down in the end by the cables. There is no physical damage, externally. Internally too as far as I can tell.

Is it even showing some kind of sign of life like LEDs blinking?

Nope, nothing else other than what I said about the LEDs in the 11th line

ok try these steps
1)remove ac cord, press the power button for 30 seconds
2)remove the battery and press the power button for 30 seconds
3)put in the ac cord and press the power button for 30 seconds
4)remove ac cord, put in the battery and press the power button for 30 seconds
5)put in the ac cord with battery and press the power button for 30 seconds
If all these fail, then repeat all the steps once again and this time hold your laptop upside down while doing this. I know, i am not joking. I've been there and worked for me.

Seyed22Shaheen :

tried it, unfortunately didn't work. Do you have any ideas of what might be the problem? It is seemingly a simple problem: dropped the laptop now it won't turn on. But it just seems insolvable.

It seems like there's something going on with the power that requires proper inspection and repair if needed. If I were you(if I don't know that much about the mechanics, take a look and see if I can fix, It should be hard to see. OS not found means either there's a loose socket or your drive is dead.

I have found a solution, I got rid of the old laptop, lol.

It seems that the multi layered mainboard PCB might have been damaged by the shock of the impact, the connection between power circuit and the rest of the mainboard seems to have been damaged. it was beyond the scope of repair by me or any technician.
this was the opinion that i got from an professional, so I changed the old laptop for a new PC.

Thank you anyone who took time to help me

Thanks so much! This sounded crazy but it worked, the first time I tried it! I dropped my Sony vaio from a height of about 2 feet and it wouldn’t turn on with or without the charger cord. Thanks!!
