I bought this laptop to use as a DVD player, when my DVD player died. I bought it at Amazon about 2.5 years ago. It is in the same state that it was when it was acquired, except for updates to the Windows OS. It has never been used for anything else, except to play movies and store movies short term. Most of the library is on an external hard drive.

 

In September, I acquired an Amazon Fire TV appliance. The laptop has been sitting in a drawer since. It was turned off and unplugged.

 

This past weekend, we wanted to watch a movie on the laptop's hard drive. However, when the laptop was plugged into power none of the lights came on, as they normally would, and the laptop would not start up.

 

Can the problem be as simple as the AC Adapter power supply? Has anyone else experianced a problem like this? I suppose the AC Adapter may have failed, but it has been sitting in a drawer and worked fine when last used.

 

If not the AC Adapter, can it be the battery failed?

 

I'd apreciate any thoughts or comments.

 

Thank you,
