I was working on battery and was down to a few percent left, so I closed the keyboard cover to put it to sleep and put it back in my bag. An hour or so later, at work, I found that it wouldn't wake up, but wasn't surprised and started charging the battery. At that point the power button LED was flashing amber (presumably to tell me it was very low, but charging). After it charged a few minutes, I tried again, hoping that it could run and charge at the same time; then it started flashing alternating blue and amber. I unplugged it, held the switch for a few seconds to get it to power off completely, and resumed charging. Eventually it got fully charged, apparently (LED not lit anymore at all). I still can't get it to power on though. Each time I try, the LED flashes blue, slowly (on 3 seconds, off 3 seconds). I can hold the button for a few seconds to make it stop, and try again... same thing. So I had a chat with support. They had me hold the power button for more than 30 seconds to do a harder reset, I guess. That doesn't help either. The blue LED flashing slowly is the only sign of life when I try again to power on: the screen is black, the keyboard backlighting is black, not even any transient flashes of light anywhere except the power LED.
Anybody have any more ideas before I have to send it in? It's inconvenient and I'm not really keen on losing the work I had in progress on that machine. I just got it at the end of October, and here we are... already.
