dead laptop
My Sony Vaio will not power up. :-(
I got a few blinks out of the LEDs, but no startup screen, no hard drive
spinning up, nothing. Any suggestions of things to try before I send it out
for repair? I was thinking that if I do send it out I should try to copy
everything off the hard drive first, in case they wipe it in the process of
repairing it. I have a backup from a month ago, but I'd like to save what I
did more recently. I've heard of people removing drives from notebooks and
hooking them up to desktops, but I've never done it. What do I need to do in
order to make this work, i.e., what cables and such, and are there any
gotchas?
