I have the same situation. I am thinking about sending mine to a repair shop, to get the bios chip replaced, since I believe thats where the problem is.
I have spotted a person, who have solved the problem.
http://www.sweclockers.com/forum/trad/13...
The solution explained shortly. Take out the CMOS-battery and try to turn the computer on. After >100 tries the person on sweclockers succeded. When Windows loaded, he reflashed the BIOS.
This solution can´t work for me, since my windows can´t load. So I can´t flash BIOS since it can only be done from windows, unless you have speciel tools. So I have sent my motherboard to a shop in Germany, to get the bioschip reflashed/changed.
I can now confirm, that replacing/reflashing the BIOS-chip works. I have my computer up and running.

Idia - IF i could locate my bios battery on the motherboard (if any) then take it out and set it in again, would my laptop so not start up in factory settings ?

When you turn on the laptop, is there no logo? On most models even if you told it not to boot from the HD it will still give you BIOS access.

No logo and no access to bios no matter what i try.

dsqsquad - Did you ever find a solution. I have the exact same model and problem.

So we both experienced the same thing, after playing with bios.. Black screen. Isn't it highly unlikely that all of a sudden the motherboard is just done? I had my it support friend tear mine apart, i7 model too, he said that he found cmos tried to remove for 20 seconds. Still nothing. Could it be something else, can we bios update? Go factory settings by doing something else?
