    So I was doing work on my Laptop. I pick it up to show someone and it just powered off. I tried turning it back on and nothing.
    So i went through the normal steps of removing the battery, holding the power button, plugging everything back in and nothing
    I take it apart and reseat the HD, Ram and open the power button and take the power cords off and back on. This caused my laptop to power back up.

    A week later and it does the same thing. I repeat the steps and nothing helps. So I go a step further this time and take the HD, ram, cpu, and graphics card out and plug them all back in. This fixes the problem.

    Yesterday it happened again and after doing the same steps as above nothing happens...Still no power of any kind...

    Does anyone have any suggestions? :confused: :confused:

    Is there any blinking LED on the touch control panel when the notebook refused to power up?
