Hi
First off, I don't know which version my m17x is (r1, r2, etc), and if there's a way to find this out without turning it on, please tell me.
My problem is that no matter what position, outlet, or configuration used, the charger will not power the laptop, even though the blue line is on at the end of the cable. This means:
1: The battery will not charge, so now that it has run out of power, it can only run through the plug, but...
2: The laptop will not turn on when plugged in anymore, because the charger simply doesn't do anything.
3: There is absolutely no way to turn the laptop on anymore
This problem started today, but it was preceded by the charger only working in certain positions (bent at a certain angle), and when the charger was unplugged, about half of the time it would turn off instantly. Ive tried taking out the battery and holding down the power button, and resetting the bios to optimal setting, and now that I cant turn it on anymore, there's really nothing left I can think to do. Can anyone determine what the problem is?
