After only 3 weeks, my tablet laptop will no longer start. It has had no other problems before, as it is brand new.

I have tried using a different power adapter, but to no avail. The light that is supposed to go on when it is plugged into the outlet no longer does so. I have, however, noticed one thing: if it is plugged into the outlet, and I press the power button, I can hear a soft click coming from the laptop, only audible if I hold it up to my ear.

Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Call Gateway. There's no point in messing with a new machine that's still under Warranty.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Thanks for the tip. I'll do this for sure, but is there anything I can do now that won't void the warranty? I need to take notes on this computer for class, and not having to send it in for repair would be a huge help.

Thanks for the reply!

No just take it to gateway or wherever you bought it from if it's only 3 weeks old you still have time to replace it or get your money back.
