    Hi!

    I have the exact same problem with the NP900X3L. There are lights, but the display doesn't turn on etc. The only difference is, my laptop runs Linux Mint, meaning, the motherboard has already been replaced. The battery is not detachable, there is no pinhole, but I've tried the BiOS display with the F2 button. I've also tried calling Samsung and they tried to reboot it by holding down the Fn + Fn1+right arrow key+power button. Both failed. I've tried fiddling with the AC adapter, which didn't work. I've tried just pressing down the power button. I'm thinking about sending it in to Samsung (they'll probably replace the motherboard), but I'm trying to avoid that solution because of the OS system. Would the OS system interfere at all with memory and such? And is there any other solution?

    Thanks!
