I've searched the forums and I've found how to get it to turn on but this keeps happening and I need a long term solution.
My model is a pavilion, I believe it is the 15-p050ca except it has an AMD processor, not intel. Sometimes when I go to use it, the power light will be flashing and it won't turn on unless I remove the battery, which has lead to quite a few losses of my work.
I've tried plugging it in when it does this, and I've tried holding down the power button for a minute or two but nothing seems to work.
This is a new laptop I purchased about two or three months ago and it's been doing this since I bought it.
