I've just flown to Dubai with my laptop in my backpack. Worked when I left home, and now doesn't switch on. No charging light, no success plugged in, on battery, nada. I've tried removing the battery (entertaining in itself when the only tool available is a hotel corkscrew) and hard resetting it with the power button, but to no avail.
It did something similar a month or two ago, where powering produced a flicker of the on LED and absolutely nothing else* but that was solved by the aforementioned hard reset. This time it just plain doesn't do anything. No obvious signs of damage, and the bag hasn't been handled roughly - it's been with me the entire time.
Wondering if it might be the keyboard - the power button is a keyboard button, and the keyboard has been playing up lately. But I imagine I'd get a charging LED when plugged in, if that were the case.
Anyone any ideas or experience of their own?
