Hi,

My daily driver VAIO Fit 15 got a BIOS update in 2016 that absolutely destroyed the computer. only the hard drive light and power light would turn on for 2 seconds an then black. It won't even boot into OS let alone show the logo. I won't even stay on long enough to go into bios.  

Any help would be great.DSC02714.thumb.JPG.d633d899dde6fd034b7ae937a9341fd4.JPG

You possibly bricked it. If it's possible, order a new BIOS chip online. That's basically your only option.

Maybe making more reposts will fix the issue..

Try taking out the hard drive and trying one slot of memory at a time.

There's nothing you can really do if a BIOS bricked the computer. You'd basically need to send it in to Sony to get the BIOS chip re-flashed, or have the BIOS chip replaced. If it's one that can be pulled, that's fairly simple, but if it's soldered, it's not as easy.
