Hello,

i have a similar problem with my PCG-9G1M (labeled PCG-FX805). During
work my laptop switches of and since then only my num-lock-LED shines.
All trys for rebooting (reset, internal reset, disconnect the
powersupply, ...) failed.

A sony supporter told my to boot the system from a docking-station. It
should sometimes help to solve problems with powermanagment. But without
a docking-station...

Have you solved your problem, so that you can give any tips?
