Hi all, I have a Sony Vaio model PCG-7184L. I've had it for almost 5 years now. I had a problem with my original hard drive and got it completely replaced. I didn't have any issues until about two months ago, every time I would turn on my comp, the green led power light would come on briefly but then turn off and the comp would make a clicking-type sound. and then sometimes it would just restart by itself. I then proceed to turn it on again, and most times I can get it to stay on. But my main issue, is that I have a black screen and my hard drive light doesn't come on. It's just a black screen, no faint images or anything, im pretty sure it's not a backlight issue. Most times, I can get it to boot up properly with the Hard drive light flashing, but then I have another problem. If I just move or touch the computer in a certain way, my screen will go black and my hard drive light turns off. Nothing is responsive so I have to force shut down by holding down the power button. I really don't know what's going on. I had a friend who's really good with computers "clean up my files" if that makes sense, I'm guessing disk defragmentation. I'm not sure, but he said that everything else seemed to be intact and working properly but then I still have this problem. Any ideas? I'm so frustrated as I've already had to get this computer fixed so many damn times, I just feel like throwing it against the wall. Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance
