I received my Philips X56 laptop 2 weeks ago and I was until today very happy. After I left it on last night and the battery totally emptied, i charged it, but I cannot turn the computer on anymore. It just does not work at all. Does anyone has the same problem? Or does anyone knows what is wrong?

Hi there,
I had the exact same problem. After 6 days it just wouldn't turn on. I ended up taking it back and I'm getting a replacement. Hopefully I won't have the same problem again.All the best sorting yours out

I'm interested in one of these, and would like to know what the problem was when your X56 stopped working. Is there a problem with the battery or did it just die?

did norma resolve her problem. my x56 has done exactly the same thing. turned itself on stand by now although it is charged and lights on the dispaly screen won't turn on / appear- any advice?

Helen,

If the two blue lights on the left (power/wireless) are on, press the power button and hold it down for about ten seconds. This should cause the machine to switch off. It can then be turned on again.
