Greetings,

Try this:

1. Take out the battery.

2. Plug in the cable charger.

3. Restart the laptop by pressing the start button while holding it for 60 seconds to 2 minutes.

4. It should start, then you can put the battery back in.

Good luck

It IS turning back on,but is again shutting off after several minutes. I've tried this 4 times now. The first time it stayed on 5min.,the next time it stayed on 12 min., then only 3. The second time I DID notice that the charge light was brighter. BUT, after just doing it, again. It is on, but the charge light is dim.? I'm sooo frustrated. Could it be overheating and shutting off?It says full charge?! Any other ideas?

This sound like overheating, I suggest to bring it to a qualified technician for repair
