    Well, in the night I leave the computer charging. When I am slepping a explosion occurs near my home, the electricity gone. My pc batt is fully charge but now when i turn on the pc it power up but then a low sound comes from the computer and then it shut down :( . I think that it is the hard drive. Maybe a power surge damage my computer? It still have the warranty.
    I'm lucky to have 2 desktop in my house to enter the forum.

    I don't think you will be covered but may be dell's policy is different. Try to contact them and tell them what happened.

    nope... if it's the free fall sensor, the BIOS should still boot up...

    probably your mobo's fried from the electrical surge

    I contacted today dell suppot center. Enter the chat and they tell to make to do a sort of test. The test that work was taking out the Memory cards and putting back again. Now the computer work like before the problem. Thanks dell :D. This can be a problematic computer to some people but when it works well is one of the best computer. Small, lightweight and fast. Also I can play games like HAWK in medium settings and high res and not have lag. This can not be a gaming computer but I have 10 games in it including Halo2 and all works great.
