Dead 5760

This is most likely going to have to be sent in, but I thought I'd ask to help find out what the problem is. Okay, I woke up the other morning to find my laptop turned off (I usually leave it on). When I tried to boot, nothing happened, I mean nothing. No power indicator, no LEDs, nothing. I checked my A/C adapter and I'm getting a green light. Just nothing on the laptop. Anyone have any ideas or prior experiences?

Thanks!

 

remove the battery as see what happens.

But you are NOT suppose to leave these systems on all the time... especially if these is no sufficient external cooling for it (notebook cooler).

also, I hope you monitor your temps and regularly (once a month) clean out the fans/vents.

overheating over a long period of time will render your system useless due to continual damage from heat.

 

I leave my old D400V and M38AW running for days at a time. I think the longest I left either one of them on was two weeks straight unattended while I was out of town competing in a national tournament. I was downloading and uploading so many torrents during that time that I must have jacked up the cable rates for everyone in my neighborhood.

 

Yeah, it was on a laptop cooler and I do clean the fans regularly. I'm guessing it's a power supply issue within the notebook. Can these be easily changed?

 

the power supply is not within the notebook... its that external power brick.

inside the notebook will be the power connector and the battery... controlled by the motherboard's power management system.

you can try the following to see if it will boot up.

1) try another power brick (to make sure the one you have is not broken)

2) remove all non-essential hardware: (all found in User Manual)
- hard drive
- optical drive
- wifi card
- tv tuner card
- bluetooth adapter

3) if that did not work, then re-seat & re-secure the essential components:
- CPU
- videocard module
- RAM
