Rock Xtreme CTX laptop failure

[washo]

Hi,

My Xtreme CTX laptop will no longer turn on. The power pack has a green light on it when it's not plugged in, however glows on and off when plugged into the laptop (and makes a low clicking noise at both ends).

I have tried a replacement power pack and it is doing the same. Is it likely to be the motherboard as someone advised? Apparently it uses a Clevo M570U and is £440 to replace! Laptop is 3 years old...2 months out of warranty.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Yep similar and yep it was the mobo so scrapped it

Thanks mollymoo. Was expecting that but really annoying as just outside warranty. Was still a good lappy for general use.

Anyone want to buy spare parts lol Makes an excellent side table...
