Can you charge it ?
If Yes, you might have run out your battery, please charge it for at least 5 minutes, then try again to powering up.
If not, have you try to pull out your laptop battery and then plug the charger to your laptop then hit the power button ? is that laptop can boot up ?


if Yes, you might need to replace your battery
If Not, you can bring that laptop to service center :D


In some case, if after pull out baterry and laptop can boot up using power adapter direclty, you can put it back the battery to the laptop and the laptop will turn on normaly

SOURCE: VAio VGN-FS742 Screen does not display

Try to remove the battery, remove AC adapter, and press and hold power button for 45 sec. reinsert battery, and Plug and try again, if that doesn't solve it, you may need to try to change memory first, (cheapest) or the motherboard or CPU.

Please give good rating if this helps your issue, Thanks

SOURCE: can sony vaio VGN-FS742/W run

Hi,

Yes the Sony should run Win 7 although its designed for XP. For Win 7 to run properly you will need to max out the memory to 2GB.
I have installed Win 7 on plenty of older laptops without any problems. You won't be able to use the aero glass features (see through taskbar and window borders) as the graphics chipset doesn't support that feature but everything should work well once you have enough memory installed.



Regards.

Need hard drive for Sony Vaio VGN-FS742/W

If it's an IDE? Newegg has a 320GB. SATA can go much bigger, but Sony linked your model to a IDE hard drive.

My DVD rw (DW-Q58A) in VGN FS42w won't read CD (both music and data) although it plays DVD video and recognizes blank DVD-R.

It happens if the lens becomes weak. I advice you get an external DVD-RW.
I hope you find this solution is helpful.
