Laptop won't start up

Last night my laptop was working perfectly fine. When I started it up today, the power light comes on, but that's it. Nothing else happens. The monitor doesn't turn on and it doesn't sound like it's working on anything.

The working light doesn't blink or any other lights, just the power light is on. When it's working fine there is a sound that plays at boot, but no sound any more. Just bought the laptop 7months ago ;[!!! Help please :-( .

Thanks!

Your power supply could be half-broke, try removing your RAM and see if you get a beep-code.

Im not quite sure about half-broke. It maybe a motherboard issue, or a processor issue. See if any of the fans are running.

It's actually pretty common for the power supply to work so that the light will light up and fans will spin, but not give a beep code.

I tried to remove my ram, but there is no possible way I can do that. I started it up and the only fan that I can see was not running. No idea what a beep code is :O. I think I may still have a warranty. D:

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
