my wifes llaptop wont power up. there is a slight clicking noise from the power pack, and the lights on the front blick with the CLICK. any idea? power SUPPLY gone bad?What is the laptops MODEL number?

By power pack, do you mean the CHARGER itself, or the battery, or another part?

When did this start?

When you press the power button on the laptop, EXACTLY what happens?its a pcg-f350.....yes it the black box between the laptop and the plugin. when you turn it on....nothing happens, battery is dead.You may want to make sure that clicking sound isn't coming from the hard drive...if so stop using the machine if you value your data.let start again.....the clicking sound IS from the black blox that is part of the power cable....not from the hard drive. The laptop will not power up. the blinking light are the battery lights on the bottom of the screen. when you turn it on nothing happens. you might try an equivalent ac adapter and/or a new one...!!!

That might not be wise.

If your laptop is still under warranty, you should be able to get a new one for free.

Otherwise, just buy a new one. They're not expensive, and there isn't anything we can do.
