Hi I bought this laptop 11 months ago and its been working perfectly up till now.

I used my laptop as normal yesterday. but today when I came to use it its turns on (power lights and lit keyboard comes on), stays silent for ~10 secconds then the fans kick in and seem to run on a higher setting for ~30 secconds the laptop then promptly turns itself off. I cant access the bios menu and it also doesn't seem to want to turn on at all without the power cable in. has anyone got any ideas? I'm pretty bummed out as I was moving closer to work for a couple of months soon and i would be away from my desktop, making the laptop pretty much indispensable for me for that time.

If it doesn't turn on without the power cable it sounds like your battery needs replaced. It could also be causing the other problems if the battery is drawing too much power from the power supply. Remove the battery completely and switch your laptop on with the mains cable plugged in. If it works with no problems then your battery is faulty. If it doesn't do anything at all it's possible that your charger is faulty. Let us know how you get on.
