Toshiba Portege R835-P56X, Windows 7

I was watching an online video on the laptop on battery power and fell asleep. I woke up to a dead laptop.

Symptoms:

- black screen

- won't boot on mains or battery power

- no HDD, fan or other noises when turned on

- when powered on orange flashing LED indicates hex fault code "4Ah"

- WIFI LED is orange and constant

I have tried:

- holding power button down for 30, 60, 120 secs on battery and mains power - no result

- removed and replaced RAM

- scoured Toshiba and this forum but cannot find any answers.

Can anyone help with this problem please?
 
Solution
remove main battery, disconnect power adapter, hold power button down for 20 count, re-install main battery, reconnect power adapter & turn laptop on.
