Recently I had to start taking my battery out of my laptop because everytime I try to start it up it would freeze before the screen even came on, that evolved to just freezing up every time I tried.
I tried powering it on with just the power cord also with just the battery and then I tried with the battery and the power cord and it did nothing.
I reset it by removing the battery and the power cord and holding the power button for 1 minute. Which worked, but only for one boot up.
So I took it apart piece by piece to see if anything was shorting it out. It would still freeze up after removing CD drive, hard drive, all memory except one, cooling fan and Bluetooth.
Now it now it will not boot up and the cooling fan will not turn on sometimes.

Memory: 12 GB RAM
CPU: I'm7-4702mq 2ghz
