    A week ago it stopped turning on. Taking out the battery and running it off the mains has no effect.

    When I press the power on button the following happens...

    Power button lights up blue
    All of the touch buttons light up blue (the ones by the screen)
    One blue light down by the touch pad turns on.
    The hard drive spins
    The fan turns on for all of a second then turns off

    The lights and hard drive stay on for 4-5 seconds then the laptop turns itsself of and tries to turn back on again. The screen does nothing at all, doesnt light up.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Thank you in advance!

    I've seen similar symptoms in a computer that lost its bios battery, except it didn't spontaneously restart itself like yours does, apparently.
