My daughter dropped off a Sony Vaio laptop several years ago that she'd
used at college, saying it wouldn't turn on anymore and she thought the
power switch might be broken. I never tried to get it fixed, because it
was about six years old by then and she didn't seem anxious about that.

But maybe it's just the power switch on your friends' Sony Vaio laptop.
If so, and Sony used the same switch for years, it might not cost much.

PS - If anyone wants a couple of old P3 laptops, that Sony Vaio and an
HP Omnibook 6000 with a dead hard drive are both *free* for the asking.
