my 4 yr old sony VGC-RC110G will not POST. I checked with the mfr's support site..they suggested send in for repair. Before I do that I wish to ask for HELP to do self repair. I believe my ISSUE is a defective bus controller. Is there a work around for this?
Thanks for any help.check the bios settings it maybe is disabledHave a look around here first
http://www.qpci.com/postcodes/phoenixbios.htmI checked the BIOS Post codes. For my bios (Phoenix) it reads out to "press F2...." which I've done. Nothing. It isn't finishing POST. 58 relates to "looking for interupt.." am unsure of what is left to unplug that would cause an interupt to be generated.Maybe I am wrong. Th ePCI Code due next is memory test. I've changed, rotated my ddr memory. However it still stops at 5A . DLoad and run MemTest...let it run at least 2 hours...
Any errors at all and you have a bad stick of RAM.
You will have to test them seperate to determine which one is faulty.To kevapple;Mulreay;patio: Thanks for responding. I had downloaded memtest86 and RAN it before this mess started. . patio: this pc will not finish the POST > so I can retest the memory..thanks all. Please..anyone ELSE have an idea ?I would do as they say....send it to be repaired.

Final result: resisted paying someone else...my time is worth something ! Changed out the video card- resolved problem
