Sony Vaio Mouse and Keyboard doesnt work!?!?!?!?!?

My friends sony vaio laptop had a problem, it would turn on but the screen would be black and you could also hear the computer parts working really hard. We drained the battery and then turned it on. It turned on perfectly and brought us to the main screen but the keyboard and mouse didn't work.

If you know how to solve this or have a good idea of the problem please reply.

Thank You

Sounds like the USB Controllers were corrupted or you may have a mainboard problem.

Try restarting the computer with the usb mouse/keyboard plugged in. Don't use any wireless at this point but something that physically plugs into the machine. I'm assuming USB but not sure how old your laptop is.

If it's XP, try doing a system repair. Insert and boot into the CD, let it load like it's going to reinstall windows, and carefully select system repair. This assumes you have a non-proprietary copy of windoze.

Sony may have some type of repair or CD utility to reinstall chipset drivers. Try that also.

You may have to reinstall windoze.
