I have a Presario 1246 and it sometimes fails to power up, either from mains
or from battery. In the past I removed the battery and gave it a 15-minute
'rest' before it worked again. Whether ti made a difference or not I am not
sure. This has gone on for about 2 years, but it's rather rare. I suspect
that the power unit is to blame.
