    Hi,

    My M1330 died last night. Now it does not power on when I press the power button whether it is plugged in or not (the battery is fully charged). Interestingly, when I plug the power in the green LED on the brick goes out. I have done some searching and found that this is not an uncommon problem, although I have not found a solution. I wonder if anyone has a solution to this, and whether, given that it's a common problem Dell might help me out. If not I'm wondering if I can buy a 1.5 GHz non-WLED M1330 I have seen on eBay and plug in my 2 GHz chip and WLED screen?

    Cheers, Jamie

    Have you had any blue screen crashes before this at any point?

    Nope, this was totally out of the blue (excuse the pun :).
