Technical Issues / Dead motherboard??
July 20, 2005, 10:13:50 AM
It wasn't the power supply, I have three of them and tried it with all three, the battery was half charged when everything went black. Plugging in the power supply flickers the led for a second and then they are dark. Support had me hold the power button down for two minutes and retry, replace the CMOS battery and retty all to no avail. From what I have read on the net it is either a motherboard failure or a shorting/fried video card.

I really loved this notebook and had no problems for almost two years until now - now I am pretty upset that I have to shell out $300 for a fix. Has anyone done this, and what kind of warranty do they give on the fix?

Thanks,
