hello tom'sguide.com,
Yesterday my laptop (packard bell easynote tm98) shut itself off while gaming. now when i try to turn it on, it starts up for about 5 seconds, then the fan becomes really loud, and then it just turns itself off. also, sometimes it starts itself up again too. does anyone know if this can be fixed? i've already removed the battery and the charger and then held down the power button for 30 seconds, i've opened it up to check for any obvious damage, but could find none. i've also tried to replace the cmos battery, but it's stuck. thanks in advance!
