Try pulling the battery out for 5 minutes or so.

Been dropped lately? Get too hot? I had an alienware laptop do this. It got too hot and the video card warped. Had to open the case and gently force some pins back together. You may have had a connection come loose. If it is under warranty, don't open it. Send it in. Computer "repair" shops will rape you. Better off buying a new one

It's 7 years old, so no warranty on it. It was getting a little warm yesterday.

Try taking the battery out but keeping the laptop plugged in...see if that works
If so, you need a new battery |

You can pull the hard drive and put it into some larger laptops as a slave drive to retrieve your files, unless the hard drive is dead. You can find new laptops for $400 now, and while not top of the line, they will be faster than your old one. Just suggestions. |

Pulling the battery for 5 minutes worked. Thanks, all!
Edited to add; I put the battery back, and it's fine. Probably just got too hot. |

Glad to hear its alive again, but at 7 years old don't expect it to last forever.
Be sure to back everything up. |

Sometimes they hang while sleeping. Pulling the battery (and line power) is the only way to wipe the ram.
