Hi people, my sisters laptop overheated and now it wont turn back on!
Is there any basic ways of fixing it?
She is with T-Mobile Broadband and the laptop came with it, so do you think they will be able to swap the laptop for a new one?.

Thanks.

Ohhhh too bad. My old laptop also overheated last year and my motherboard got damaged. Better leave it to the expert goto your local pc shop and let them check thats best solution that I can recommend.
 
Sounds like something fried. I'm afraid that's what gonna happen to my sony. That thing gets so hot even with the cooling pad.
 
i agree with speed .. i think u roasted some component of ur lappie
take it to your local service center and seek for help..
 
A laptop can refuse to start up for a number of reasons and over heating can cause many of such reasons like battery fault, motherboard damage, RAM damage, hard disk faliure, etc etc.

So better take ur laptop to a service station.
 
I didn't realise ths post wasn't dead yet after posting a few days ago with no reply. Anyway, here is why i repost:

I was thinking afterwards about this for some reason and something clicked:

I was thinking, overheat, power suply blew, obviously power suply of a laptop is the battery, and that can't "blow" as such, but can cause stuff to break.

Like a normal desktop PSU all new laptops come with a multitue of power suply protection, such as over voltage, under voltage, short and (this is the one i want to draw your attention to) overheating protection.

What happens is 2 things:

First, you have a little component in your laptop that is the same as a little compnent in a desktop power suply. It is a tiny little black thing that is soldered to the PSB in the PSU. This is the overheat protection and when your power supply overheats (in your case, laptop so battery) this blows up, litteraly reaches a certain temperature and goes bang. It goes in such a way that it damages nothing else in the system, obviously the PSU is screwed, but it stays contained. This why when a power suply overheats and blows, you hear a pop or bang sound.

When that happens, the second thing happens. It causes the fuse in your power supply to fail, shutting off all power becuase the circuit has been broken. The circuit is no longer whole and so no power can reach the system, this is why it would not turn on, or why i would imagine it would not turn on.

Take it back to whoever sold it to you and, provided it is under warrenty, they will take it off you for a day or 2, find this out for themselves from looking it over and replae your battery/other part with this fail safe device, or give you a completely new system
 
hey aasti thanx for info..

thankyou.

You are absolutely right, now you should be finding out why it overheated, usually laptops run at higher temperature as standared because it is all so compact, but shouldn;t, because of designing, overheats. As wardhanster said, check your air vents and other air exhausts
