    seems like it's had its time. R.I.P

    BUT try and find the problem first.. :D

    I have no idea what it could be though...
    was it acting weird before? what did you use the laptop for? (gaming, simple work..?)

    Remove Battery & Main Power.

    After that Press Power button for 30sec

    Leave it without any power source for another 1 min

    Put the battery+main power & try to start it again

    It solved problem with my 5920G (Coma Mode Problem :p)
