I assume you are referring to the BIOS splash screen when you first turn on your laptop.
Can you access the bios by hitting the F2 key. Maybe a different key for your computer as it is different for a lot of vendors. I am pretty sure sony is F2 though.

If you cannot access the bios this mean your computer is not posting and is most likely hardware related.

The most common issue for this is memory but i have been seeing a lot of hard drives causing this.

Try reseating your memory modules and if you have more than one memory module try swapping the modules one at a time and in different slots and see if you get any results.

also try booting with out the hdd installed. If your computer posts w/out the hard drive then your hdd is most likely bad

How old is your computer?
