Default Sony Vaio laptop failure

On Sunday evening my 18 month old Sony Vaio laptop failed in immediate fashion. The machine had been left and gone into resume, upon wakeup the mouse would only do vertical movements although left and right motion was attempted on the mouse pad. After a second of mouse trouble I literally got the blue screen of death (BLOD) for one second then the screen went black so I rebooted after removing the battery and power supply. Nothing I mean nothing, hard disk light flashes and then more nothing. The thing is completely dead.

Now, I am considering repair but Sony's maximum repair charge is £400 but I can purchase a new one for £550 of the same type. I have £150 in spares when considering battery and PSU.

So, whats the consensus of opinion, repair or replacement?
