ok interesting problem. Basically when i turn on my laptop it sometimes dose not start. its power led(wifi etc..) start as normal as dose the fan but the screen stays black(no back-light at all.) and the hard disk dose not start up. Otherwise it will boot fine and run perfectly for the whole day.
My first guess was the back-light was going but would this stop the hard disk from booting?
Second guess is that the hard-disk is going but would this stop the screen from turning on?
to make matters even more interesting the hard disk shows no errors dose not make any of the usual end of life sounds when it dose start.
laptop is a sony vaio vgn-s1hp. also listed as pcg-6c1m on the bottom. About 5 years old.
any help in diagnosing this problem would be much appreciated.
