Hi all. I have a Sony Vaio SVF152A29V laptop. It was running Windows 8.1. When I bought it, it worked fine. But when I got home I decided to turn it on, but it does not turn on (it's not about food). When you press the power button, the indicators light up, the fan buzzes, but the screen does not light up. Sometimes, after a long wait for unknown reasons, it still turns on. I can't get into bios. I managed to log in once only when I inserted an empty ssd disk, instead of the usual one. I quickly disabled Secure mode in the BIOS and set UEFI to Legacy and booted from external media. Installed ubuntu, but it also does not turn on. When it turns on, it works fine, nothing gets hot, there are no suspicious glitches anywhere.
When turned on, it does not respond to any buttons, neither assist, nor f2, del, a3, etc. I tried holding and pressing. I rummaged through the entire Internet, many have such a problem, and it does not depend on the vaio model. What can I do to make it work properly?
Answers such as: give it back, hand it over to the warranty service, etc. are not accepted.
It seems to me a problem of this kind geektimes.ru/post/248652
If anyone is interested, the problem was solved by flashing the BIOS through the programmer

Are you saying that when I bought it, it turned on normally, but when I got home it stopped? does that mean it's new?
then to the store for an exchange or us service! Most likely the problem may be in the BIOS chip or in the BIOS patch itself, try to change it! I must say right away that the problem is hardware, maybe something in a cartoon!

I bought it from the hands of some old woman) She showed it to me, turned it on, everything was fine. Then I came home and it didn't turn on. I can’t give it to her, because she turned it on and I saw that it turned on. What could have broken while I was carrying it home? And when it does turn on, it works just fine. It seems to me that the matter is in the BIOS or some kind of vaio care or the like. because a lot of people on the internet have this problem

Firstly
, almost all Vaios have a special button that you need to press in order to get into the BIOS later, and this is not a power button! (Assist button then F2 or F3)
secondly, if resetting the hardware settings
does not help flashing the BIOS , then the problem is hardware (95% that this is so)
