    Well I have gotten a crappy refurbished xps that I'll be sending back here soon enough but I'm wondering if I can't just use it a little more. It ran fine all yesterday when I fix the OS but after turning if off for the night I can't seem to turn it back on. When I hit the power button the lights come on and then they just turn back off.

    Well after a 4 minutes of hitting the power it decided it wanted to turn on. I think I'll just not turn it off again till I sent it back.

    You could try unplugging it, removing the battery, hold down the power button for 10 seconds then putting the battery back in and plugging it back in. :)

    Alright I'll do that next time I decide to turn it off. There's obviously a problem with it and I'm pretty sure the hard drive has issues too so its going in before the 21 days but I really need a laptop for next weekend so I'll be keeping it till then.
