VGN-A215Z dead

[aircool]

After connecting to usb port on left side, it just died, are there any fuses or protectors that may have tripped?

18 days out of warranty!!
thanks for any help

Ouch:smileycry:

Doesn't sound too good.

Clutching at straws but:

Have you tried pressing the little recessed "reset" button on the underside with a cocktail stick or something similar for a few seconds?

Or removing the battery for a few minutes?

If your model has one its a tiny innoccous looking hole on the underneath.

Unfortunately you can't buy parts in the EU so the USA is the best bet.
