I have a Gateway 6020GZ laptop.
I was using it last night when it just immediately shutdown loosing all signs power.
I was plugged in on the cord with a full battery also. Could have sworn I heard a 'pop' when it went blank.
The charging/ac light does not come on and it will not power up; battery seems fine as all charge indicator lamps still come on when you remove the battery to check charge level
I'm assuming its an internal power connection / part.
Best Guesses??
- Fairly simple fix and worth taking to a repair shop?
- Don't waste time / money?
Thanks,
Steve
