Sony PCG-61511M, blank screen, no drive led activity, green light on

[newmee]

Hi Sony
I have been having a switch on hit/miss for some thime which I have tried to live with, namely blank screen, healty hard disk led activity, and I have got around by
setting to hybinate insted of switch off which worked great most times.
But Monday 3rd switched on as usual and left it few minutes, Came back and found black screen,I noted no hard disk activity, and green swith on illuminated.
Had to hard switch a few times with the same result, I have two spare hard disks fully working, one with windows 10 and another windows 7, I swaped these with the same result.
Does this point hope? to castrostropic hardware problem, or is there a glimmer of hope?

Hi newmee,

I'll see if I can find this out for you. Maybe someone else in the community can help in the meantime.

Thanks,

Sorry I can see spelling mistakes in original post, but can no find how to edit it.

I also forgot to mention that usually with healty

system I get the sound of hard disk activity, closely followed by increased volume of fan cooling before it stabilizes 

But now I get about two sounds of disk movement, no increase or fan volume.

I hope this helps in the understanding of the problem.

I have tried some other thing, checked bios battery etc all with nagitive results, so giving up on this case.

Thanks for your interest

Hi newmee

Since you get nothing on the screen and the hard drive doesn't seem to be spinning, I'd say the best thing to do would be to take it to a repair centre:
