Its really not my week it seems, in the space of 4 days my main rig has died and my laptop is now playing up and won't POST.
With the main rig I wasn't surprised, it had been playing up for a while and had lasted 5 years of heavy use so it was approaching its time.
The laptop is a surprise though, its only really had light use in the 3 or 4 years I've owned it. Worked absolutely fine last night, and now it wont POST. Powers on, fans start up, no output to screen, and then after about 40 seconds it just cycles down power.
How do I go about diagnosing the issue here? I've tried a hard reset, battery out, the works. Whats the next stage?
