Now when I try to turn it on, I get the 'plugged into mains' symbol flashing - and I cannot turn it on.
Any ideas of what I should do?

I didn't buy it in this country so it definitely won't be covered here...

Many thanks.


Hello, I have the same problem. Went back to the shop & it will cost me 1000 euros. So, didn't do that

Now, I'm trying to open my laptop, and I removed 30 screws but there is still some resistance. I don't know if I have to force it or not. I just want to clean it inside, and if necessary, find some second-hand spare parts.

Does someone have experience with this, or is there a good site with more info?
