Bought my second HP laptop last August. Worked fine until month ago when it won't turn on immediately. Pushed power button a couple times until it started. Now it won't start after following procedures suggested in previous messages including removing battery & starting only on AC power and starting only on battery power. Am getting very frustrated as I use this laptop for grad school. When I start it with AC plugged in, the tiny lights by power plug flash briefly and then go off.
Using Windows 7.
As I write this note, I tried using just the AC power and the laptop started up! That is part of the frustration. I need a laptop that starts up everytime whether on AC or just battery power. Help!
