I have a gateway nv52, windows 7, and Athlon 64 x2 ql65. When I push the power button the blue power light will lite up and a fan will run about 5 seconds then shut off. Screen doesn't do anything. The power light stays on. I have a cooling fan pad under the laptop the plugs into a USB port and that fan and the light under it works. I've tried removing battery and holding power button 30 seconds. I've tried powering it with 2 different power supplies both with the battery in and out. I've pulled the ram and switched them around. I've tried a pair of ram from another laptop, same type of ram. Nothing has made any difference. This didn't happen all at once. I only use the laptop once every couple weeks. A couple months ago it started doing this. I'd hold the power button in to shut it down then restart. At first it would start up after doing this 1-3 times, but now it won't. Not sure if related but when it did work after it was on about 5-10 minutes the touch pad would get jumpy with cursor.
