Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Can you describe 'burnt out' a bit more?
Most things like that are just the power supply, which is a cheap item and an absolute doddle to replace. If it's any help to you we can do some remote fault-finding and possibly fix it. No promises of course but it might save you some money. If it's something more serious than the power supply it might be a lot more difficult to fix over the Internet.
Laptops are more expensive for what you get, they're much more difficult and expensive to maintain and upgrade, they're less reliable and they have a habit of going walkabout (which is of course their main plus point -- the other one being their relatively low power consumption).
Good luck with it anyway.

Yea if you don't need the mobility - avoid laptops.
There's a chance the PSU albso took out the board, so replace with a cheap PSU to test. If everything worse, imediately replace with a good Corsair/FSP model.
