After system recovery of my sony Vaio PCV-RS510, I did a Vaio updates and now computer will not boot. None of the buttons or keys working. Displaying "Sony" only.

Have you done any Hardware/Software Updates/Upgrades? Have you tried a System Restore/Recovery? Reseat the Memory mods, Graphic Card, etc. Try to boot to safe mode, Open msconfig, select Normal Startup, reboot. Let us know what the results are.

It's the Suppr Attn key. if it's not, try the last key from the first row (the top right corner key).

What software are you looking for? normally they will do a disk partition and have all software for the system installed on a a different drive partition and you can recover by hitting Del when it is booting up and then when the screen comes up it will ask you if you want to do recovery then just follow the prompts, If you have lost your drive you can reinstall over the top of old system unless you have a bad drive. If you need more help let me know, Also the Main software serial number should be attached to the computer on the back somewhere.

Hello my friend this is looks like your graphic card is dying or your power supply.You should change your graphic card but if you hear any noise let me know

Just copy and paste. Right now you can get this unit for $399.00, new it ran around $899.00. But like anything else in the computer world one year you need to upgrade, two years you need upgrade, Three years you need to upgrade, forth year you need to buy a more up to date computer. I replace mine and use my others for back ups or sell them. If your selling yours and it is in good shape you could get up to $399.00 for it. Hope this helps.
