What should I do if my VAIO computer does not turn on or the power button does not work
(the charge indicator light blinks fast)?
Your VAIO computer may not recognize the battery pack.
In this case, push and hold the battery off button for three to five seconds with a thin,

If the problem persists, contact an authorized Sony service/support center and replace the
battery pack with a new one specified by Sony.
