    Hi, you will have to open up the back, the laptop is more than 3 years old, so the warranty probably expired. Try this:
    Power drain + CMOS reset: Open the back of the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Locate the round CMOS module (with 2 twisted wires Red and Black under the battery) and remove the coin battery. Shorten the +/- terminals inside the CMOS capsule for 2 seconds with a bended paperclip and put the coin battery back with the + sign facing up, close the CMOS capsule. Remove the RAM modules and if you have spare modules replace or secure the original modules back 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. When you are able to boot to Windows run a battery report to check the capacity history: Paste this in the command prompt: powercfg /batteryreport
