| | | Dead Laptop
My laptop is completely dead. No power, nothing. It was working fine yesterday. It's about three years old. Any ideas?

Sometimes the power cords on old laptops get fragile and the wire breaks. You may want to check to be sure that when it's plugged in it's really getting power.

Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

Unplug it. Disconnect the battery and leave it with no power completely for 2 minutes or so. Then put the battery in and try and reboot.
Sometimes this kind of "cold boot" solves the problem.
