It sounds like either the inverter or backlight has died. You will need to organise a repair.

This seems to be a very common problem and is the result of a design flaw in the vaio models which have the memory slots under a plate on the bottom of the notebook.

There is plenty of stories available (google vaio boot problem)

this worked for me:

Once I got it working I sold the vaio and got me a toshiba...
