I left my computer on with the AC power cord and screen halfway down to do some printing (printer is above laptop).  When I opened it, it had went into hiberation and as usual I hit the power button, but this time nothing.  I have Windows 10 and I had some programs open at the time.  But now I have tried literally everything but nothing is working.  I did the hard reset, removing the battery, nothing.  I even did the F10.  Nothing.  I also did Windows>B for the Bios restore.  It beeped, shut down, restarted (I did this 8 times like it said) Nothing.  I have ordered a new battery and a new AC adapter.

I can barely hear the fan and the hard drive.  The hard drive light on the front doesn't come on except after I have done a hard reset and plug in the AC adapter, but only as it is trying to boot, but still nothing.  All of the lights are white, nothing is blinking nor do I have amber lights except for maybe one second when it first tries to boot.  I'm wondering if it is my hard drive or the system board.  I'm pretty handy at computers, but if I need to go somewhere else I will.  Also can I just at least get another HDD and transfer what I have on mine to another outside HDD?  Thanks so much!
