Hello!
Well, it seems my good ol' M6805 decided to kick the bucket a couple of days ago. It recently started having the occasional random shutdown, then the other day it just shut down completely and won't come back on.
It was weird, cuz first it rebooted itself, then it was sitting there for a few minutes ok, and then it shut down ... sort of. The screen and all the LEDs were off (power, HDD, plugged in, etc), but I could still hear the drive and the fans spinning. I had to remove the battery to get it to turn off completly, and then I haven't been able to get it to power on since.
It doesn't even seem to notice that it's plugged in or not. Power button does nothing, no LEDs or anything lites up anymore... battery or plugged in.
Soooooo.... I don't have money for a new laptop, so I was wondering what my options are? Is there a cheap/reliable place that I could send it to have it fixed (for not too much), or .... guess I could buy a new motherboard off ebay, but I'm not sure that's what it is... that would just be guessing... so not sure. Not sure if it's worth repairing or if I should just try to pick up a replacement on ebay or something...
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!! thx!!
