Solved! Laptop turns off automatically on first few attempts of power on

[tronichub]

Hi, my Compaq 610 laptop automatically turns off in few seconds when I press the power button to turn it on. When I turn on about 3-5 times it loads windows and works fine without any issue. I checked by removing hard drive, replacing RAM, removing all extension cards, and even re-flashed bios. But the problem still exists.

When once turned on, and shut down properly, it does not turn off automatically for some time when turning on. but if I leave it turned off for few hours and turn on again, the problem occurs some times. Can anyone point me in right direction to identify the issue with my laptop?

Sounds like a short. I don't see anything about you testing the battery and charger- Try using a different charger with no battery.
