    Hi everyone,

    The laptop doesn't start at all, no lights, fan doesn't turn on, no thermal output.

    Last night I left my laptop open for a few hours while sorting some stuff on my desktop.

    By the time I returned, the laptop was powered off and not longer booted.

    The model of the laptop is a Clevo W230ST (Same as a One K33-3E, Sager NP7330 and others)
    ( http://www.metabox.com.au/W230ST-overview.asp) Link to laptop.


    Specs:

    i7-4700MQ

    GTX 765M

    128GB mSata

    8GB Ram


    I have tried the following fixes:

    Uplugging battery and running on solely AC

    Running solely on battery (full capacity confirmed with multimeter)
    Resetting bios battery

    Unplugging all peripherals inc keyboard



    I cannot access the log files in windows as the data is stored on an mSata SSD.



    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    The laptop is no longer under warranty.



    Thanks.

    Have you tried making sure all the cables on the inside are seated properly, as well as your ram and drives? Double check the AC adapter that the cable is making a connection to the brick, maybe try running it on another wall outlet (small chance there is an issue with the power outlet, but I've seen it happen). Do you get any kind of lights or fan noises when you try to turn it on? If it does have some power going through it, does it show an image when you are hooked in to an external monitor at all?

    No lights or fan whatsoever, I've tried it on several different outlets. The ac connector is connected securely.

    I'm thinking its either the power brick or the cpu, I tried testing it with my multimeter and it gave no voltage reading.
