    This morning, my computer don't boot anymore. It's a w870cu. I don't get any beep or anything. All i get is a solid light on the blutooth and power + 3 midle light thing. all the fan run, cpu and gpu do some heat. I need it so much for college... i'm about to cry right now.

    I cleaned up the video card and reapply thermal past, same result. same thing for the cpu.
    I've tried to remove the video card completely. Then i got the same boot with 2 beep error. I've tried to remove the cpu, but nothing happen it just don't boot at all. removed the hard drive... same result... I double check the board and doesn't see anything on it suspect. I can't reset the battery i don't know where it is. <<

    please someone help me !!

    That is a fairly new machine, don't you have a warranty? Call your reseller/manufacturer first.

    relax, it's a machine. It will be fine.

    I think it could be the RAM.You can just buy a HDD enclosure and take out the data very easily.No worries there!

    the tech tell me that i can send him the whole unit, or he can ship me a video card to replace this one and be refound for the old one when he receive it.
    How to make sure it's the video card the problem ?

    Is the plastic smell coming from the PSU or from the DC jack on your notebook?

    If it doesn't appear any sound and it doesn't pass through POST, then it may be a mobo problem. If it passes through POST, then it's the VGA. Try to press many times the F2 button not continiously, just many times on start-up. If you hear any beep, then the BIOS and mobo is alright and the video card is dead (but not sure about whether when you access the BIOS, it beeps, on M570TU it does.). Did your PSU produce any strange sound when you were using your lappy?
