Hi,

The error indicates that the Hard Drive in the computer has crashed and will require a replacement.
I made a quick search and found the part # of the HDD that was shipped with your model. It is
A1065524A. I would suggest that you replace the HDD with one with the same specification that was came with the computer.

You may either purchase it from Sony parts center or third party vendors.

Thanks!

Mostly this problem comes up if you dont shutdown your computer properly as in by offing it by holding the power button and stuff like that. What you can try doing is when you on the computer it should let you choose if you want to go to the BIOS menu or System Recovery and you go to System Recovery and if you would like reboot the whole computer or just choose to repair the windows and it will reinstall the windows files only which should take care of the problem.

If power supply is supplying correct voltage, then you do not need power supply PCB.

Try starting the laptop with AC adapter and no battery, if battery is shorting out you may get same problem.

Test the soldering joint on the AC socket and laptop motherboard, if there is a bad soldering on laprop ac adapter socket, you get same symptoms.

If it is none of the above, and the adapter is fine, then it is usually a faulty motherboard.

If you only erased it, you can simply use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Z, if the deletion was permanent, there is nothing you can do.
