    I recently bought a used Znote 6224W, was told it was working perfectly – that was sadly not the case.
    The problem is when turning it on. It starts for 2seconds then turn off again, I push the on button once more and it turns on for 2 seconds then turns off again, turns on again automatically, does this three or four times until it finally turns on and stays on.
    When it is inside windows it works perfectly. If I turn it off and leave it off for two or three hours then turns it on again it works perfectly. If I leave it off for the night I am right back at the beginning, it won’t start until after app. four tries.
    I have tried to flash the Bios, reinstall Windows, exchange the ram and harddrive, and obviously searched the web for any solutions but found none –any input greatly appreciated!

    A little data about the Znote 6224:
    T9300 processor, 4GB Kingston Value ram, 200GB Seagate Momentus 7200rpm., Vista 64bit.

    Yes, I bought it second hand. He told me he recently changed the processor but that it worked perfectly now?! Now I can't get a hold of him... So any suggestion, it is very annoying...

    If there still is warranty on the notebook i recommend asking either the person you bought the machine from to sent it for service or you can contact us straight away and we could discuss the case.

    When I bought it he said there no was warranty left, but that might be because he changed the CPU?! Anyway, I might contact Zepto to hear if they have any suggestions.

    Tried contacting Zepto, no luck - they have not answered my mails and when calling their service center I have to wait for a very, very long time, too long for my impatience(-; Anyway, there have been a new development, it seems it starts up fine on battery alone, but as soon as I plug in the AC adaptor it shuts down?! Tried two different AC adaptors (which works fine on other laptops) but it did not help... My thought is: Could it be the MOSF (power distribution) chip on the motherboard? Any thoughts or experiences before I hand it over to the local repair shop?
