Laptop starts and then shuts down immediately

[HC98]

A year ago my battery broke, so i always used the ac adapter to power my laptop. The fact that there was no battery made sure that from time to time i accidently pulled the power cable out. I have never experienced any trouble because of this until two weeks ago when my laptop suddenly shut down after +/- 30 seconds after i pressed the power button. 

I have tried to update my bios but with or without usb stick, my laptop shut down just after the bios screen appeared. When pressing F11 for recovery: same problem. 

I hope someone knows how to fix this.
I bought this laptop three years ago and hp already had to replace my motherboard (during my warrenty period), due to overheating my laptop wouldn't start 7 months ago, half of my screen flashes and my battery broke.:smileysad:

Thanks in advance
