So I had this funny issue with our laptop about 30 minutes ago. When I plugged the HDMI cable from our HDTV, the computer completely shut off as if the battery was dead. I had the AC connector connected to it. When I tried pressing the power button with the HDMI cable plugged in, their is a little light by the power button that blinks once everytime I pressed the power button in. I have used HDMI for years on this laptop (had it since 2010), and never had this issue. I tried a few more times getting it to work, but now it won't even boot back up. I just get the blinking light on the power button as if the HDMI cable is still plugged in (when it's not). I tried doing the static trick with the battery and got no look and unplugged the hard drive and RAM and tried putting them back in. I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I don't think the hard drive failed, seems more like a hardware issue to me than anything but I honestly don't know. Please help! Thanks!

Sounds like there was a short somewhere in the cable and its damaged the laptop. Only thing you can try doing is remove the cmos battery on the laptop to see if it will reset bios settings. Possible static electricity maybe?
 
Yep, thats what I'm saying. Probably gonna have to take it in and have it looked at.
 
I honestly think my best bet is to just sell it as parts and get that HP laptop at Walmart on Black Friday for $159. Can end up with brand new laptop for under $100 lol. This issue is weird. I never had something like this happen.
