    Barely got my Clevo/Sager laptop and the mainboard dies!

    Suddenly during use the laptop shut off no light on power adaptor. Re plug adaptor into wall to get green light but the light shuts off as soon as I plug the tip into the laptop.

    Laptop won't even show life with battery in so my guess is mainboard/motherboard has blown! I have tried SMC reset or whatever it is called by removing battery and holding down on button then plugging back in the power without the battery and it is still dead.

    Can somebody point me in the right direction for a UK motherboard supplier. I need the machine fixed asap within a week or not at all :(

    I bought second hand so i took a risk but still maybe I am unlucky!

    The laptop is the version without usb 3.0
