Thanks for the info on the inverter.

Now the laptop occasionaly doesn't want to power on either. Symptoms
of a worse problem? Have tried removing the battery and booting, then
tried removing power and booting directly from battery. Doesn't boot,
but then you try a few minutes later and it fires right up!



What specific model (the PCG-X123 on the keyboard area, not the number listed with the serial number)? Some Vaio notebooks have known failure modes.

Q
