VAIO PCG-K115B Screen flickers

[ilovemyprobe]

Hello all

I have a VAIO PCG-K115B and the screen often flickers, this has only been happening over the past month.

I can sometimes get the screen to flicker upon demand by opening and closing the laptop.

Also on two occasions now, the flicker has turned into a permanent dark screen situation and the only way of resolving was to soft boot the laptop.

Can anyone help me please?

cheers:smileygrin:

Hi

I would contact VAIO Link over this, as it's seems one of the connections in the case isn't as good as it once was.

Thank you and I have done.

¿.So what response have you received from Vaio-Link?
If this is a hardware problem, as Kee-Lo suggested, and your notebook is still under warranty, then there is very little that any of us can do to help, apart from commiserate.:smileysad:

Ah that good ol' misunderstanding, we don't work for Sony, we're just users like you.

Firstly just to clear this up in case there was a misunderstanding, the

"...............so ! ! !"

was just the one word that i left off my previous post, thats all, not to be taken as attitude, i appreciate your help BTW.

Have entered into dialogue with Sony and they will get an analyst to call me within the next 24 hours. They also suggested a possible service of the PC under warranty which is good as i am not the original owner............................ebay job. But registration has already been transfered into my name, I wrote to Sony some months back.

I have to say that I highly Rate Sony, they have never let me down to date and in return I buy Sony first.

Sounds like a lose connection inside the unit to me.

Wondered if increased ram may help as the flickering and "total darkness" of screen often happens on start up when system tray is loading up.

Your thoughts please.

Thoughts? Well it's a frequently reported problem so I wouldn't rate Sony highly for that. Otherwise good luck getting it sorted.

Good luck with it

I know all too well about this problem. I have sent my PC (same make as yours, the PCG-K115B) back to Germany for a repair, however the problem is STILL NOT FIXED!

I am a tad annoyed, but the problem is worse if the weather has been cold. So far the inverter has always come back to life, but I am less than impressed...
