COOL! So If I just find Puppy Linux online? or someplace and do I need to put something else on it before loading the Linux? Is there a vaio file to load first?
It's been a while since I worked with this laptop, but I believe all that I did was to get Puppy linux and install it. I don't recall having any serious problems. Can't hurt to give it a try.
Very unlikely that Linux would have killed the backlight. I assume the backlight doesn't work with Windows either. Most likely the fluorescent bulb or the inverter has died.
Wow my laptop is an older model of th pcg's
