5 You say your computerwent "off on you" can you provide an amplification of this extra information description etc
6 Have you disconnecected the Interne cablet ,emptied any disc drives, removed CD/DVDs flash drives, memory sticks and any printers scanners or other USB devices (have nothing at all connected to it and then removed the battery, connected the mains electric wire (via the supplied power supply unit) and then held the "power on button down for 15 seconds.....then waited 30 seconds and then pushed the power on button once..... if not please try this and let us know what happens.
7 Are any fans running on the laptop when you try and power it on? (look underneath ,listen and feel for vibrations indicating a fan turning....
