I also sent this message to Tech Support, but maybe someone has seen similar problem and has some advice
Re my Defiance 15.6 Laptop, purchased 2 years ago. This machine has behaved perfectly until today.
Today it has locked up and frozen. Pressing the power on/off button does nothing. CTRL/ALT DELETE does nothing. The machine continues to run ie power is on and I can't power it off and reboot. It just continues to run in frozen state on the batteries.
Unlike most laptops it doesn't seem to have a reset button or small hole to press a paper clip into... unless I'm missing something. So I can't restart and reboot the machine at all. Please advise if there is any hard reset method for this machine. It should not die totally when it is only 2 years old.
