All in one sytem shows the logo then goes blank on screen.

Hi

I have a Sony Vaio PCV-F31M, it is an all in one system. Check out the link for a picture.

 

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience repairing these things.

 

The device boots up and shows the Vaio logo on the screen, it runs POST ok and beeps then the display goes blank, the hard drive light spins OK as if its loading Windows but nothing on the display. I've tried pressing F2, F5, F8, DEL, ESC etc... to see if Safe Mode or BIOS screens come up but all I get is a blank screen.

 

One thing to note here is that the keyboard & mouse are wireless so I'm not sure whether the keyboard even works pre Windows as its not PS2 connection and there is no PS2 connection on the device.

 

There is no VGA port on the device to test an external monitor, I have stripped the device, removed the hard drive and memory and the BIOS beeps to tell me the memory is missing so it seems to be operating OK in that regard.

 

The screen must be OK as I see the Vaio logo come and go.

 

Does anyone else have any ideas about this device.

 

thanks!
