Dell Inspiron Mini 10

Hey there!

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron Mini 10, it is less than 30 days old and despite having a little trouble with the right click function I was very, very happy with it!

Until last night.

I was watching something on the BBC iplayer when suddenly the screen went black-my laptop had switched itself off. I was very confused, but pulled it into my lap and tried to turn it back on again. It wouldn't. In fact, it would only turn back on when I unplugged it, removed and the replaced the battery. I used it this morning, but whenever I plugged it in to charge, if it was already running, it would switch itself off without warning like it had done last night, or, if it was switched off, it simply wouldnt turn on until I unplugged it again.

Now the battery has died and it's refusing to charge, as if the laptp refuses to register that it's even plugged in. Sometimes the poer light will show when it's plugged in and off, but current;y it' just kind of dead. This, as you can imagine, is very upsetting and frustrating because it is so new.

I cannot get a hold of Dell's technical support team through any method and I have to confess, I'm not very brigth when it comes to things like this so does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I'm a little lost?

Thank you!
