Laptop won't turn on... where to take it in?

So my laptop crapped out on my yesterday.. it got really hot when watching a video and turned off to prevent damage.. this has happened often in the past, for some reason it always gets hot when i watch videos.. anyways now it wont turn back on at all.. i can hold the power button down all day and nothing.. what is a good place to take it in? im not sure if NCIX is the right place for this.. what do you think? the damn thing is only a year and a half old!

if you bought it from NCIX you can call them up and ask them. They'll take care of you better than people you don't know on a forum.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Honestly with notebooks, Its not the brand you buy but the quality in the series... When you see one of those $499 for a C2D in the adds. Those are basically the 1 year lasting notebooks... Quality is built like shit and people treat them like crap soo they dont last very long... When buying a notebook you get what you pay for... If you ever notice, lots of computer stores do not carry the same brands as the retail stores(FS,BB). Mostly because those cheap models are only for the larger retailers... Where you would notice at the smaller retailers that their notebooks are a little more $$$ because they are better quality notebooks...
