The Rev Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 This happened to me a while ago. Turned out it was something as basic as overheating, I was told to leave it for an hour or so until it had all cooled down and now it works fine, although it does get a bit hot sometimes. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewood Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Take out the battery and give the contact points a wipe then put it back in. Worked for me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgey55 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Neave, that the same laptop you spilled juice or tea over IIRC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Winchester Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Nothing happens at all when you try turning it on? No beep from the POST test? Have you tried taking out the battery and back in? Tried taking out the battery and just running it from the power? From what you've described it sounds like it could be the PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incompetnce Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Could easily be overheating too. Make sure the vents are exposed whenever you use it and it has a bit of "breathing room" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neave Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I unplugged everything and left it over night. It seems to be working fine now. Was a ******* too, as I had just beaten Panathinaikos 2-0 at Tynie in FM. Cheers for the suggestions, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
