    My family just went on vacation where we brought the Dv5 on a road trip. It worked, and we brought it back in a laptop bag and left it in the car during the 6 hour road trip (July 4th, 2016).

    After bringing it back and setting it up, the DV5 will not turn on. The screen won't even light up, there is absolutely no response from the laptop when pressing the power button.

    So far the only thing I have tried is removing all power, holding the power button down for 45 seconds and then putting the battery back in and trying again, and that doesn't work. I've also tried removing all power and leaving it sitting for 5 minutes before plugging it back in and it still won't turn on.

    Oh the AC light on the laptop (beside the plug) turns on when plugged in though.

    Any thoughts?
