I wonder if any other 37XX-series notebooks are doing it as well - could be a systemic flaw in the internal PSU. Do you regularly run your machine on AC or do you run it equally on battery and on AC?

You and me both! Sounds like your internal power circuit has gone bust. You're probably going to have to send it in for service. I am intrigued by your statement "tries to start up and fails" - does this mean that you...

I am going to RMA it, right now. I tried investigating repair at a service center but the costs were simply too high.

I've tried that, both with and without the battery inserted, and the thing remains deader than a doorstop.

A PSU failure had crossed my mind; while I don't go out of my way to run my laptop into the ground, I do tend to intensively use it for periods above 3 or 4 hours, leading to heat buildup. The part which really scrambles my brains is...

I've got a MAJOR problem with any Sager NP3760 - it refuses to turn on when I press the power button. I started it by pressing the button with the AC adapter plugged in, watched while it loaded the OS (I use Debian Linux 2.6.10) and...

I've noticed that when I go off juice on my Sager NP3760 and dial down the backlight brightness on my LCD, I can see some flickering; it's not refresh-rate flickering, just a low-level sort of fluctuation in the backlight. Anybody...

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the group who manufactures Sager laptops - specifically the NP3760. I want to decompile the machine's ACPI DSDT table and see if I can work out why it doesn't expose any thermal zone...

Does anyone have any technical information about the Sager NP3760's pinhole camera, mounted at the top of the LCD in the center position? I'd like to try to make it usable in Linux, if I can figure out what it is. /sbin/lspci -vvv...
