Whats wrong with my laptop!?

[Geek Squad]

Hello!

Based solely on your description, I would venture to guess that you have burned out one if not several of your components in your laptop. Laptops do not emit "smoke" or "smell like burning" as a general rule.

If you were my client, I would not reccommend that you continue trying to use the laptop at all. Do not plug in your AC Adapter or put your battery in the unit. I would suggest you take it to an authorized service provider for a comprehenisve diagnostic.

If you are comfortable doing so, take the unit apart and look for burned, scorched or melted wires around the DC jack, and the LCD cable and the power button cable. Also look on the motherboard and the power button board for evidence of surge damage.

Good luck!
