Sony Buyer

Rather clumsily, I spilled coffee on my Sony Vaio VGN-FW21M laptop. The only casualty is a stain on the inside of the monitor in the bottom left corner. I can still see through it, though it’s rather annoying. Any clever solutions out there?

hi, do you mean there is a stain inside the actual glass lcd screen? are you sure its not on the outside of the screen? try n clean it with something. i doubt you can open the lcd screen though you can easily open the plastic covering around the outside of it by undoing the screws under these little plastic circle bumps…

I own a Sony Vaio I don’t exactly know what year but I think it has a virus due to alot of downloading. All I know is that when I turn it on, it comes up a black screen without displaying the vaio or any screens. My question is what are my options? And if my only option is to wipe it, how do I do that without using back-up discs or a wipe-out discs?

Hello,
If you are getting nothing at all, no screen, nothing, I would not immediately assume it was the operating system. It almost sounds like it could be a display problem. Was it dropped recently? Might try taking the easy accessible items out of the laptop (ram, hard drive if possible) and try to re-set them prior to this. I guess one way would be to try to boot it with a bootable disk, ie: xp. Can you get to your bios?
