Hi, I currently own a HP CQ35 laptop, yes I'm well aware that this series is almost 10 years old and possibly the hardware has gone ancient!
The "white light" next to the power socket on the laptop is lit. But when I press the power button, it dies immediately and the "white light" does not turn back on. Not until I remove the plug from the socket and re-insert it, does the "white light" come back on. No blinking. No fan sound, no boot sound, nada.
I've been using this laptop without the battery. Only with the adapter power plugged in for as long as I can remember.
I don't really care about saving the laptop anymore (unless this is something really simple to do), but I would like an alternative to at least transfer out the data currently stored in it.
Appreciate any guru-level assistance *bow*
