what video card does it have?

**edit: found the product page: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=VGNFS620W

was thinking if it was a mobile nvidia gpu- turns out it isnt.

my first guess is a BIOS problem, know how to re-flash a BIOS?

not sure if you can extract the BIN/ROM file from the EXE tool though.

he cant get into the BIOS. he cant see anything the screen is dead, no picture, he can flash the CMOS but he has to open it up to cross the pins.

its a video problem (display) you might have to open it up, the video card is most likely bad, you should of been able to hook up a external monitor and seen something if the video card was working.

tried that got nothing

Here are some photos of the laptop in question





Notice the lights in this one



This is all I am getting, no sounds, no hard drive spin up, no bios screen, no memory check, no systems check.
