I recently bought a new Qosmio X775 Q7170 from Amazon and after about 1 month of usage suddenly my laptop is having power problems. I can't use my warranty since I live in the pacific and bought my computer in the US. I tried bringing it to a Toshiba service center but they couldn't identify the problem and (brashly) told me to change the whole motherboard. I think it is a problem with the way the laptop transfers power though as i have observed this; the longer i keep my laptop off, the longer it can stay on. I left it alone for 2 weeks wondering what to do and checked to see if it would (by some divine miracle) stay turned on for more than 3 seconds as it usually shuts down at BIOS. And to my surprise it stayed on for about 30 seconds and was able to boot windows as if nothing was wrong. So I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem with a toshiba/qosmio/any other laptop and if they were able to fix it and how. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to get all the details in as this computer cost me $1000 and is a great gaming computer and i would hate to have scrap the whole thing due to a simple unidentified power problem.
