VAIO PCG-7R1M not booting up and making beeping noise

[ljc19630]

Hi guys,

I have a 6 year old Vaio thats decided it doesnt want to boot up. When I try the screen stays black and all its doing is making a strange beeping noise?

Anyone got any ideas how to fault this problem?

Cheers

Hi L,

There is good and bad news…

The VGN-FE31Z is not one of the models with an inherent Nvidia chip fault but given the beep code and as swapping memory has not solved the problem there is a possibility that either the GPU has failed or requires a reflow.

I can’t suggest any way forward apart from getting a repair company to investigate. You may want to try the following link – I have used their services in the past with good result.
