I have a Sager 9860 (D900t) and I believe it died today but would like some other opinions.
I got on the computer this morning and all of a sudden I heard a strange noise and the computer shutdown. I smelled a slight burned electronics smell, and it would not start up. The battery has not held a charge for a year or 2 up till now but that wasn't a problem because I kept it plugged in most of the time. Even when I shut the computer down and unplugged it I would still get a light on the LCD lid when closed. I opened it up and removed the Processor heat sink and looked for the dreaded burned DC adapter but did not notice anything. The light on the power brick still lights up.
I would like to know how much it may cost to send it in and have it looked at and possibly be repaired? Who do I send it too? It is 4 years old and out of warranty. If it is going to cost a ton I will probably scrap it.
It is a Sager 9860 with the ATI x800 256 graphics card. Maybe Luke and NBF can respond that would be great.
