SONY VAIO LAPTOP WONT BOOT......

[Laptophopeful]

Ok I think I know what the problem is but hear me out. I have had this pcg-fx-150 laptop for about 2 years. and like a year ago the screen cathode lamp blew out . Like a month ago I sent the lamp to be replaced when i got it back I plugged it in and put battery back and when I looked at the led lights it showed the battery light blinking so I assumed the it was dead and needed to be charged so i left it over night . The next day boom it booted up great No problems I did all the updates xp needed put office xp on the machine and handed it over to my wife for here work.
Now I did notice one thing the battery allways need some charging when she brought it home . So I put it back on the a/c power hooked it up to my network let her exchange files and whatnot and in that time it fully charged . The battery was only at 85 % ( I am wondering if i should have just taking the battery out
and use just the A/C and the next day put the battery back in and let her use it from there and do the same the next day ).
Anyways two days later she came home and said that the laptop wont boot . So with out A/C power I tryed to boot nothing not even the sony spalsh screen. So I put A/C power on with battery in the laptop and nothing again. So then I took the battery out and tryed just A/C power nothing again . So Hear is what i concluded.
a) the A/C power is gone no longer working....
b) This making it so the battery will not fully charge.
(I am under the asssumption sony laptops will not boot unless batterys full)
c) Becasue the A/C is broken it wont boot pc alone and sence battery not charged it wont boot ethier.

Tell me if you think i am correct and what kind of action i should take i dont wont to get a battery if the A/C cord is broken LOT OF MONEY FOR BATTERYS...... HELP PLEASE women is dont my back LOL...

I've never heard of a laptop that won't boot if the battery is not full.
I would say it's either the charging circuit, or the whole A/C circuit has gone south.
You might be able to get it repaired. If it's still under warranty, that should be covered.
Is the A/C plug loose? I've had to send a few HP laptops back to depot maintenance because somebody has "bumped" the A/C connector on the back of the laptop. Then after a few days, the laptop won't boot because the battery is dead. Turns out, the A/C connector has broken off the mobo on the inside. They've had to replace the mobo each time.

If it's under warranty, try your luck w/ getting it fixed. Google might be your best friend in trying to find a new mobo for it if it's not under warranty.
