Sony Vaio PCG-7M1M

Hi there,

I own a Sony PCG-7M1M laptop and recently it has just started locking
up, keyboard wont type and when I try and re-install xp home it gets to
installing devices it just reboots.

It can lockup at the bios, half way through booting I cant dont anything
because sometimes the keyboard does not work.

Anybody got any ideas as what could be wrong.

Thanks Paul

This a VGN-FS series notebook. If it locks up arbitrarily, the problem
is a hardware fault of some sort. If it has two RAM chips, try booting
with one at a time to eliminate RAM as the source. It could be the HD.
You can remove it and with a notebook to desktop drive adapter, mount
in a desktop and run chkdsk /r to eliminate it as the source.
Otherwise, it is likely a mainboard problem and you should use your
warranty.
