Tough to say. I thought I put it on the nighttable but the more and more i think about it (this post got me thinking about the whole situation for some reason) i think I might have just fallen asleep with it on the bed. All I really can remember in the middle of the night I heard a bit of a crash and must have been in a daze because thought nothing of it, when I woke up the laptop was making an upsidown teepee on the ground. For some reason my wireless card didn't work anymore on that laptop (probably the fall) but now it won't even turn on. I ****ed it up big time. Ohwell. So in response to your question it could have been either but in the end it works no longer, good thing the people at viatech were understanding.
Again thanks very much for your help.
I will be more carefull I think
