Laptop Broke

No it's not the battery. The battery has been dead over a year I ran it off the power cord.

The hard drive is ok because my son put it in this laptop to check it it worked fine. So it's in the motherboard or the on and off switch. It's over 2 years old and isn't worth fixing.

You might want to consider letting my girl look at it. She brought this on back from the dead. She is super good and cheap too!! What brand is it?

You are describing exactlt what this one was doing. Total cost to repair $50.00.
