 Help needed.
I have a Sony VAIO, about three years old, running XP Home, P4. I turn it on and get nothing on the monitor. I look at the power LED lights and the drive light turns on for around 10 seconds and turns off. The other(CPU) light flicks on when I power up and stays off. I don't hear anything working except the CPU and power supply fans, no other sounds, no beeps, no CPU sounds, nothing. Any ideas?

If CPU and PS fans are running and you aren't getting any POST error beeps, I would guess it's your video card.

You may have an output plug to plug in a regular monitor.
You may also try to boot into safe mode this may Help you.

I have tried a brand new video card and nothing. I also changed the CMOS battery, checked every connection inside and outside for good connection, a different monitor, checked the power supply for voltage which is fine. I also took out the CPU and placed it back.

I am getting a clickig sound that doesn't sound normal from the Power Supply when I press the power button. I am going to try a new Power Supply before I hit the Mobo. I was and still am hoping it isn't the mobo even though its easy to replace.

Try to place the H-drive into another unit.
if the Drive works then sh*t it sounds like it may be the Board.
At least if it's the board you won't have to reload all those prog's and app's that we all manage to accumulate over a few years.
Good luck
Cheers

If the harddrive is bad, it shouldn't prevent the BIOS screen at least appearing on the monitor.
If he has to replace the board, unless it is an exact replica he may have to reinstall the OS and everything (OS may become unstable)
