    Hi,

    I bought a Samsung series 7 Chronos from Amazon, 4 months ago (leaving outside of the US).

    Everything was fine till today.

    The laptop seems to be DEAD. I was running Windows 8 RTM last time I used it, and then set it to hibernate.

    Now when I press the power button - nothing happens.
    I should have more than 50% of battery... and the AC doesn't help me either.

    I tried to connect/ disconnect the battery, and again - (almost) nothing.

    The second led from the right flickered about 2-3 times, and this is it.

    Do you guys have any idea?


    Thanks in advance,

    Yoav

    No, unfortunately I can't. I can't do anything. It is dead.
