Greetings. Try removing the battery and AC adapter from the laptop and press and hold the power button for 30 seconds - replace the removed and power it on and observe. I suspect the CPU began to overheat (due to a failing/dusty fan, wasted thermopaste, etc) - The CPU it self may have sadly died in the extreme. Yet the computer shuts down by itself when the CPU overheats normally.


Hope that is helpful.
