Last night I was playing ER on my laptop in sig and during a boss fight the screen just went black and the laptop shut off. After a bit of time I tried to turn it on, the keyboard lights (and custom color map) come on, but the display never does, not even the backlight, and after a few minutes it just shuts off. I tried connecting it to an external display (tv in a hotel room via HDMI) but no dice there, will try other displays when I get home but I'm guessing she's toast. I feel like if it were the GPU the display would still come on using integrated graphics, so maybe the CPU? Any recommendations on what I could try?
Pretty disappointing to only get 18 months out of it.
