Hi guys.

Pressing the power button makes the power light turn on for a split second, then it turns off again. I first encountered this issue a long time ago when the laptop was a couple of years old.

I let the laptop gather dust for quite some time, then I tried again after holding the power button down without the battery or AC plugged in. It worked once, then when I went to start it up the next day the same problem happened. I did the same thing a few months down the track and it started up twice, back-to-back ForsenCD. After that, again same problem.

Does it have something to do with leaving it alone for long periods between attempts?
