no lights, no beeps, no startup, big headache

[ultmtdav]

Help!! Last night i was surfing on the net and my computer just blinked off with out me touching anything. When i pushed th power button I got nothing. Not a beep not even a light. All of the connections seem to be there. The computer is a refurbished sony vaio with a KMD 550 processor that i bought just over three months ago. I am not that great with computers so any help will e greatly appreciated.

try and clean out the connections on the plug, maybe something got buried in there, and dont just check the connections, but physically remove and re-insert the plug, maybe check to see if a different cord will work, it could be as simple as that

when I put it all back together, it was only missing two bolts

Thank you> I tried cleaning the connections but it still does nothing. Just sits there and plays dead. do you have any other suggestions?

If this is that laptop from another post did you try running it on the
battery. I have no laptop experience. I'm sure somebody here does. Maybe
the AC adapter is bad?

------------------
What's up with that?
