HELP!…My Laptop DIED! What do I do?

by it2md . Updated 14 years, 8 months ago

OK…so here is the deal…I purchased a Gateway Tablet Laptop a little over 5 years ago…and it has been a pretty good experience for the most part…until last night!!!

I am currently a pre-professional student taking Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. I was getting ready to study for a calculus exam and turned on my laptop. As it booted up normally, I was unwinding the power cord. It was on the Win.XP Prof Log-in Page when I plugged it in. I turned to enter my password and the laptop had gone totally BLACK!…no screen, no charging light, no power, NOTHING!

I swear I almost cried in desperation! My entire life is on that laptop! I have intentionally been extremely careful with this laptop. To have this occur NOW, is really frustrating to me.

Anyway, I tried everything I know, and even googled it, with no success. I left it plugged in all night, and still nothing. It appears to literally have died!

So, my question now is what do I do? Is it possible to resolve this? And if so, HOW?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for that help.
