Mines the same Magicme and I've not heard of anyone down here that actually fixes them either. A colleague of mine also has the same problem and (both are Dell Inspiron models btw) his died on it's arse during the week so his problems have now been heightened and expectations lowered to hopes of data retrieval rather than getting the thing back up and running. I'm fetching the external HD to back this yoke up right now and if you've one available I strongly advise you do likelwise.
