    Hey there was hoping someone could recommend anything to help with my problem. Recently my mouse started playing up, the left click wouldn't work and moving the mouse would sometimes randomly result in right click being pressed. Shortly after this the monitor started turning itself off and it wouldn't turn back on without the computer being restarted. Finally it seems to have kicked the bucket completely, when pressing the power button the button will flicker on and immediately off and it takes 2-3 minutes of mashing the power button to get the computer started. Oddly now the only problem when the computer is powered on is the left touchpad button not working at all.

    Would appreciate any help at all. My computer is a UK Dell XPS L701x purchase nov 2010, 500gb Hard Drive, ssd second hard drive,4gb ram from dell and 4gb aftermarket installed straight after purchase, i7 Q740 processor.

    Thanks
