Take it to the place you got it.

[Abby]

Take the battery out and put it back in

[chris]

I would open it up and make sure nothing is disconnected from your motherboard in terms of wires or anything because that sounds like the issue

I'd guess it's going to be a motherboard failure. The most common problem with a laptop is that the power supply goes to hell, which on a laptop means the motherboard is kaput. There are a few things you can try:

1. Make sure your power cord is working. When you plug it in, does the light come on the power supply box attached to the power cord? If not, your fix may simply be a $10 power cord. Or the wall socket you're using might be bad. Try another.

2. Try pressing and holding your power button for 15 seconds. Then let up and press it again to turn on the computer.

3. Do you have a way to externally charge your battery? If so, try that, then insert the battery and use it to power your computer.

4. If your fan is bad, the computer might not turn on. But you'll have to actually open the computer to see that. You may have to find a local service place to look at it. It usually costs $75 to have it diagnosed at a reasonable place. However, be prepared. If it's the motherboard, it'll cost $250 or so to fix, so you'd be better off asking them to get your info off your hard drive and buying a new laptop. Three years is pretty good life for a laptop, and it's probably time for a new one anyway.

how did you ask this question when your computer is broken?

[JordanBaldr]

Sell it online for scrap man or parts, because anything you put into this thing to fix it, will not be worth the trouble.
