    Depending on when you last replaced the battery that would be the first thing to do (battery lifespan is 4 years max.)

    Check if there is a small pinhole in the back of your laptop (with a battery sign) and stick a pin in that pinhole till you feel it click (micro switch), keep pressing the pin for a few seconds. This will reset the battery. If no pinhole, try the next section:

    Power drain + CMOS reset: Open the back of the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Locate the CMOS module (with 2 twisted wires Red and Black) and remove the coin battery. Using a bended paperclip, shorten the +/- contacts inside the CMOS capsule for 2 seconds and put the coin battery back with the + sign facing up, close the CMOS capsule. Unseat and firmly reseat the SODIMM (DDR) modules in the slots. Next, press the Power Button on the keyboard for 10-15 seconds after that reconnect the battery cable to the motherboard. Close the laptop, plug-in the adapter and try to boot.
