I have a Gateway M285-E Tablet which has worked great and been my primary tool for school. One day though - it just stopped turning on.
When you press the on switch it sounds as if the computer is working fine, but no screen shows. Cool air comes out of the fans on the side.
My friend in the school tech department took a look at it, hooked it up to a monitor, turned it on, and frantically pressed all the F# buttons he could at once - which displayed my BIOS on his screen. We disconnected it and tried my laptop by itself and it worked again!
Later that day, it didn't work again.
What could be wrong?
