I think there's a problem with the battery but I'm not sure.

When I first turn it on, I get the Vaoi/Sony logo, but before the logo is fully done loading the screens goes black. The humming stops, absolutely no noise, but the power lights are still on. I turn it off & turn it back on, but this time I don't even get as far as the logo, the screen just goes black.

Does anyone know why this happens?

The computer is a couple years old & it stopped working about a year ago, but I only recently picked it up again

Thanks for any advice , Isa
