  • Using my laptop last night and the screen freaked out (multi coloured lines/outlines) and then shut itself off. Now it won't turn on, press the power button and the keys light up, nothing from the screen and then it turns off again after a few seconds.
    I'm pretty resigned to the fact that it's kaput but is there anything I can try? It's a dell 7577 so a few years old but it was a decent spec

  • Try connecting an external display. Then at least you can find out if it's just the screen or something more.
    May need to find function key that switches to an external monitor

  • is there anything I can try?

    try yelling at it in german
