    My acer 3680 laptop is 2.5 years old .Recently my laptop has started switching off suddenly with a click sound .While running it makes a single click sound and then stops .The led power indicator goes off for a moment when this happens.
    Few days ,I had this problem of my laptop switching on and then switching off with a click slound within a few seconds of being turned on .
    It would switch on ,then off ,then on ,then off by itself without me doing anything .This thing happened even with just the battery and the main power supply disconnected.
    I opened up my laptop and cleaned it off ,and now I can switch it on atleast .

    Also my power swith is defective ,I think .I have to press it really hard to switch it on .
    Any idea what is wrong with my laptop .Is it a switch circuit somewhere or the battery is not making proper contact or the hard is dying .
