  • 3. Shut down the computer and disconnect Battery, AC Adapter and external devices.
  • 4. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then release the power button.
  • 5. Re-connect the AC Adapter and Battery only and power on the computer.
  • 6. Start tapping the F8 key and boot to the Safe Mode.
  • 7. In the "Safe Mode" press and hold "Windows key" on the keyboard and press the key "R".
  • 8. Run dialog box will be displayed.
  • 9. Type "

Some people have tried the followiing and had success:

Shut down the laptop, removed battery and cable for a moment, press and hold the start button for 60 seconds... and replace the battery.. start the lap top.. if that does not work a technician is a must...
