Is my laptop broken - hard drive light won't come on and screen is blank

[citylover]

It's only three months old and was working OK until one night last week. The children had been using it immediately prior - playing a game. They are usually very careful with it.

The power, wireless and battery light come on but nothing else.

I think this might be serious -does anyone know?

Its a Philips notebook.

Thanks

can you give you support line a ring,i have a desktop pc made by phillips and it kept turning itself off,i phoned the helpline and they sorted it out for me.

There's also another trick you can try. Pop out the battery and then pop it back in and try again. I had the same problem with my Toshiba and that worked a treat.

Thanks I will give those things a try.

Phone the support line - must say they were very good (Curry's - I did vow that I would never buy anything from there again).

And they think the motherboard is broken/faulty and a courier is coming to collect it tomorrow!

Thanks
