Vaio htpc outputs gobeldegook, no post.

Hello,

We have received a Vaio htpc that powers up but just outputs a scrambled list of "a"specialist as seen in the photo. Can't seem to get it into the bios. We are thinking faulty board. Any ideas?

I had the same problem recently and it went away for a reflow, yes graphics.

That does seem like what the problem is. Where do you send your boards to for repair, we normally use RMA.
