    Press and hold button for 10secs. Release. Fixed?
    If not, remove battery and repeat (mains power only). Fixed?

    Think we need a little more information before anyone can realistically deduce what is wrong :)
  • Sometimes it happen when laptops are shipped by air. Same like these laptops have an auto off button that temporary disables the power button.

    Quite simply, no. Evidence?
