" told that we would have to drain the static electricity that apparently builds and accumulates with the laptop. Process to do this was: 1) disconnect A/C power supply, 2) remove battery, 3) press and hold the "power on" button for between 15 to 30 seconds, 4) re-install the battery, 5) re-start the laptop. THIS WORKED. "

What do you mean by locked, is windows running?

holding the power button down is much faster. There's always a risk that windows might not start afterwards though
