Hi mate,
take laptop to the store and let them fix you that...

check power circuit board (this is where the actual power ON switch is located). also check power ON button plastics and flat cables to and from the power circuit board.

HI Thanks for the reply. They are charging high for the same. They r telling that board has gone becoz of power fluctuations. But we wont operate connecting to the power every time right. And if that is the case what for is the Adaptor.
