Help recently the laptop suddenly shut down by itself while it was working. it didnt turn on even when i pressed the power button again. then after a few weeks it started working all by itself. then again after a week i could not power it on. even the led which indicates charging doesn't glow when i put it to chrging when the laptop is turned off. help!

I doubt this would work twice, but a 30-min drive to the repair shop unstuck my power button. It was even in a padded case. Cheapest repair ever! (Hate me if you must but worth a try right?)

The button has been flaky for months. One day the laptop suddenly turned on by itself. When I turned it off it immediately started again from sleep/hibernate/shutdown. Pressing it 20x, spraying with compressed air and swearing didn't fix it. Instead of pulling the battery, I set Power Plan to "Power Saver" with everything set to minimum after 5 min., power button to do nothing, and NO timed shutdowns.

If you press the power once it goes into sleep mode. Try press and hold the power until it shuts down.

You could have an overheating problem. The CPU shutsdown when it overheats and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. Check the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. The fan may have stopped spinning or spins slowly and the heatsink is clogged with dust.
Remove the dust and replace the fan if it is faulty.

Do a system restore to a point previous to the power failure shut down. It sounds like the abrupt shut down glitched the system.

Problem is in mother board. Shot in capacitor has shown in image. Replace it....

This happens because your CPU is overheating, open your PC and blow any dust off the openings and CPU/Power supply fans, if you think one of the fans is not working... replace it.

This could be a heat issue. Make sure that nothing ( eg dust) is blocking the air vents.

Go to control panel. Power options and there u can see hibernate. enable hibernate and click apply. and come out and go for shut down and there u can see stand by shutdown and restart. then press shift button on keyboard the standby turn on to hibernate. then click hibernate it will shut down the entire system within 10 to 15 Sec try this. and Mail me on this mail ID

Did you get the battery checked? OR maybe it's an issue with the PowerJack connector on the motherboard...have it checked ASAP.... Also take out the battery and plug straight from the wall jack using the Adapter to ckeck if power is coming.

hi your ipod will shut itself if no action is on you can determine the period of time that will happen good luck
