The place I was staying for the last month was cold and dry, and I experienced a lot of static electricity. I was having up to 10 shocks per day, and at one point got a shock which broke a computer mouse. A few days ago I was working in the office - looked at my laptop and the screen had gone black. Would not turn back on. It takes a charge (light changed from red to white) but won't turn on. I've just managed to get the back off (it's an HP pavilion), removed the battery and all cables, held the power button down for 20 seconds, and it still won't turn on. Is it a goner? And was this really caused by static? So annoyed. Only had it about a year.
