For the past three days my laptop will not start but the power button is on. The first day, I tried some trouble shooting but nothing worked, and the laptop started up later in the afternoon. The second day, it started after I held the power button for 1 minute, then gave me the CMOS reset 502 error, but afterward it worked fine. Last night I fully charged the laptop and then shut it down, now it will not start again this morning. I tried the 1 minute power button hold twice and still nothing. I know the laptop is charging because the charge light is on steady. This computer is around 3 years old. No sounds or other indication of computer starting up.
