So it appears that this is a power management issue and Sony needs to post some Troubleshooting advice on their site, as three different techs advised me to send my unit into for repair, when a simple solution to a known engineering issue existed.

Sony have a record of doing this. I bought a Vaio notebook a few years back for occasional use only when I travel abroad. Having not used it for a couple of months it completely refused to boot up. I plugged in the charger, but the charging light didn't even come on. Left it like that for hours - still no change. Called Sony support, who said it was probably a mainboard problem - $2000 to fix - which was more than the computer cost me!
Before consigning it to the computer junk cupboard I decided to leave it on charge. A full day later the yellow charging light came on, although it would still not boot up. After another day it came up and has been fine ever since.
Thank you, Sony. Not!
