    Just wanted to know if this happened to anyone else. my nexus (M860TU) suddenly last night just stoped. all of a sudden, parts of the screen started to jump around the place horrizontally and it became worse and worse. soon it almost looked like tv static. at this point i was freaking out so i shut her down.

    I have now tried to start up nexus again and it doesnt get anywhere. I cant even get a boot disc to work on it. Its not a screen issue since i tried to connect it to external monitors and still no go. It doesnt even load the bios screen or OS as far as i can tell.

    Its not like i was doing anything intense to make it crash, unless you count having msn, facebook and google videos open at the same time strenuous. A while before that i was playing mass effect fine on it, so i never got any warning that i was going to lose my system.
    Did i mention it died the night before my first college exam? yay for me, just like last year

    Give Andrew or Neil a call Helio and they may be able to suggest what to try next.

    I'll get Andrew to call TNT tomorrow and confirm the address etc with them, bear in mind that we are technically closed until the 4th January so please contact us through the forum - especially for things like this as we won't have known that the collection wasn't made.
