I'm taking it you mean only the screen is all black (and you have power LED's on etc). If not and all sign of life is gone it could be the battery and or powerlead as bibio said but I'd be worried the motherboard has blown (probably new laptop time but the cost may surprise you).

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Either way to be honest. Occasionally it's a yay on older laptops.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Just don't buy a Lenovo 330S. It has a poor colour reproduction display, short duration battery life, no dvd drive and no ethernet port (you have to buy a usb-c adaptor or use wifi only). I really messed up in buying one.
I prefer my 10 year old Toshiba Satellite fitted with an SSD and a larger battery.

We have an indie repair place up the road - I'll see if they're open. If it's not economic to repair then so be it. I've had reasonable life from it and thankfully my company records (my Ltd company bought it) are on my Google Drive. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Went to a Timpsons in Asda to get a key blank cut for my old Toyota. I brought a blank with me (bought online for £2.50), but he said they were only allowed to cut blanks they sell. I said fair enough, and asked if he had a blank. He said "I do. It's £40" Looked identical to my £2.50 one fwiw.
He had that slightly sheepish look like he knew they were taking the ****. I'm amazed they sell any at that sort of money. Now very clear why they won't cut one they didn't sell. Will go visit a local independent once this round of lockdown is over.

Well that is a massive pi55 take I think! Good on you for saying no thanks and going somewhere else.
