    I was on my computer about 45 minutes ago just checking email. I pushed the power buttong to enter sleep mode. After coming back from a shower when I press the power button nothing happens. I have unplugged AC cord and battery held down power buttong for 30 seconds. Plugged back in AC cord and no lights or nothing. No updates have been installed and it was working fine earlier and yesterday. Any help please?

    Try taking out the CMOS battery, first of all.
    Also, what are your specs and are you under warranty?

    I found out the problem. Somehow the little connector to the battery power button had came slightly out.
