She followed the instructions and ran the program and now her laptop will not boot. The screen stays black and nothing happens, I can't get it to boot off a CD or USB. Any advice?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:16:49 GMT https://community.sony.be/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-bios-on-sony-vaio-vgn-sr51mf/m-p/276567#M17239 green_giant 2011-12-19T11:16:49Z Problem with bios on Sony vaio VGN-SR51MF https://community.sony.be/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-bios-on-sony-vaio-vgn-sr51mf/m-p/276569#M17240 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>Sadly, if the BIOS has been corrupted by this program, you will have to contact Vaio Support for advice.</P><P>They may need re-flash the BIOS at a repair centre.</P><P></P><P>The telephone number is 0905 0310006.
