    I have a Clevo X7200 that is only a couple of months old. Today when I tried to turn it on, the power light came on, I heard the fans spinning up, the screen stayed blank, and after a few seconds the laptop shut down, it stayed shut off for a few seconds, and then turned itself back on. It keeps going in this turn on and off cycle until I unplug the power adapter. I never see anything on the screen, it always stays black. I tried another power adapter (we have 2 of these laptops), but to no avail, the same problem persists. I tried taking out the hard drives, and booting without them, but still no luck. Has anyone seen this problem, or have any idea what could be causing it?

    Power Drain:

    1)Unplug the power cord
    2)Remove the battery
    3)Press and hold the power button for 20-30 sec

    See if this helps
