Right, im off to open my laptop and fix this **** connection, also apply some more thermal compound to my cpu and gpu to cool it better.
If i dissapear for a few days, then you'll know i knackered my laptop and cant back on, otherwise

Sounds far too technical for me but good luck, least if you disappear we won't be thinking to send the search party straight away

Im back and got it working, the behind the power connection, there was a break in the wire, which was causing the loss of connection, got my 10 year old solder kit out and fixed it, also applied the thermal compound aswell !!!
