Repair-able?

Stark92 — Sat, 28 May 2011 12:55:14 GMT

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NW20SF. I spilled a small amount of liquid (half a shots glass worth) on the keyboard area and it caused the keys to stick on, not physically stuck in but it produced constant letters. I then restarted it to see if that would correct it but it did nothing. I tried system restore and after the shut-down it now refuses to turn on at all. I have tried numerous times to reboot it but all I get is a black screen. 1/20 times I turn it on the 'Vaio' logo appears as usual but then it just freezes, won't go as far as to start in in safe mode or anything. Is there anything I can do? Thanks.

It doesn't sound good - it looks like the liquid has affected the motherboard and not just the keyboard.

It may dry out but I think you may need to see a repairer to see if it is viable.

Try contacting one of Sony's Service Partners close to where you live for a further assessment. A full list of UK Service Partnerscan be found here: -
