Hi, guys.

I have had my B130 for almost a year now. Recently I downloaded a game that my laptop could run with minor lag. I play it in bed sometimes, leaving the fan plenty of space to breathe. So I was playing in bed, and it just suddenly turns off. So I'm like, no big deal, just an overheat. A few seconds and it will turn on again, right? Wrong. Now, when I press the power button, it does nothing. No lights flicker. Even the A/C LED doesn't shine. I don't know what to do, and I need held fast.

Have you tried a new battery, if not then it may have a component damaged from the heat. Were you running the game on overclocked settings as this can cause problems
if the overclocking is slightly too much. If it is not that then you may need to check on a new power supply if it is not the led that is broken sad.gif Apologies for the vagueness but running
anything for long periods with a lag can cause huge sets of problems mellow.gif
