    Well i left the computer on this night, without installing any suspicious software or anything equivalent - nor did i perform any hardware modifications for this to happen.

    The first thing i noticed is the power icon wasn't lit up as it always did when it was either on or off and the battery seemed "drained" throughout the night. The second thing i also noticed is the power adapter, the power LED on the adapter wasn't lit up and so i didn't think alot about it and replaced it with a universal 120W set for 19V, yet the power icon didn't lit up nor did it bootup when pressing the power button. To notice: there haven't been any bad weather with lightning bolts, so that's ruled out.

    Small list of tries:

    Tried with and without the battery.
    Tried the old and new adapter.
    Tried different power outlets.

    No change...

    I've filled and sent an RMA form about this issue.

    Is your warranty up? If not send it in ASAP.
