Hi everyone,

 

I've a model Sony Vaio PCG71811M that won't powerup with the power button. All I can do is to power-up with the Assist button, then choose to reboot windows from the options.

Windows 7 boot normally then, but still the power button doesn't seem to have any effect when pressed: doesn't stops, ibernate or shut-down. The only thing that happens when the button is pressed are the green led on front turning on, that's all.

 

Does enyone ever experienced a similar problem ? Can be an hardware problem on the button itself ?

 

Thanks for any reply !

M.

    Hi visualtricks and welcome.

     

    You are quoting an invalid model - you are probably taking the chassis model.  The correct model will be on the screen surround.

    It soundfs like the power buttom is not working and will probably need to be replaced.

     

    Is your Vaio still within warranty?

    Hi and thanks for your reply.

     

    Sorry for the incorrect model, the right one then would be VPCEH.

    Anyway I've solved thanks to this post:
