Say goodbye to your Vaio. Pull the hard drive, get an external USB carrier for the drive and a new laptop, then restore your data to the new system. You will have to reinstall your software first. Good luck.
P.S. DON'T get a new Vaio. Sony makes it very difficult to use non-branded external devices or other operating systems such as Linux. My wife had one that caused her nothing but grief. Now, you would have to pry her Mac out of her cold, dead fingers! Myself, I use Dell's for my laptops. Not bullet proof, but they do give good support and fast repairs.
