If it just went...belly up, it might've gotten too dry.
Post pix, let's have a look.

Thanks for replying William! I personally believe the brown tips were just old needles. I can see quite a bit of new growth, nice a green at that. The tree is quite well watered, but I've only had it for two days so I can't comment on how well it was looked after before purchase. However, it was a very expensive first bonsai (£275) and I bought it from the very reputable Peter Chan of Herons Bonsai.
I assume it just needed a lot of tidying up - as my introductory thread in the show and tell section showed!
I will however (for my own peace of mind) take several photos tomorrow in the day and let you give me your thoughts.
Thanks a lot!
Vish
