    I've had this laptop now for nearly 2 years, it's great, I love it, but it's broken again :( I recently had the cd/dvd replaced as that had gone.

    Now whenever I turn on the laptop I just get a blackscreen, no bios, no nothing, the hard disk spins and that's it, blank screen.

    Any ideas? I've been trying to get through to zepto support for about a week and no luck so far :(

    Your GPU has broken, it's very common problem with 6625WD and 8600GT. Contact the support chat to get RMA-number and send your machine there.

    I would like to say that I fixed my GPU by using the Oven trick, so if this happens to your 6224w you can still save it now that Zepto is no more.
