    Hi guys, my XPS M1730 has now done this twice. I go to switch it on in the mornings, and CD drive starts to check for disc as normal, and lights light up showing it's on, hard drive light flickers once I think but screen does not switch on and nothing happens, just sits there blank and doesnt do anything. It has now done this twice, randomly. about a week apart. First time I turned it over, opened up and checked connections on memory and hard disck and took battery out and it started first go after this. Second time took a lot longer and lots of pressing the button on and off?

    Can anyone offer any help or where to look for a solution? I am also suspect of having an issue with my Video card (doubt this is related?) it used to always show TWO NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT devices and show me two temperature readouts on everest on my LCD screen, but now only one?? I am guessing somethings up?

    Any information of help would be greatly appreciated, i'm at a loss! I've spent all day backing up my machine incase I cant get it to switch on again!

    Cheers

    Dan.
