Get a new battery
I tried that no luck.It may have locked up in hibernation mode.
Take the power cord out and take the battery out.
Leave it a few minutes.
Put the battery back in and put the power cord back in.
Presto.
A 3 Lb. hammer properly applied can cure anything...
Yep,tried that too,It is now scrap.There is an internal battery that keeps things going like the clock etc.
It is a button type battery mounted on one of the boards...
When this dies the laptop will not start even with a power cord attached and a good battery...
Many laptops will run fine off the power cord with a dead battery...
