So, this worked and I was able to use my laptop all night. I cleaned it up with ccleaner and Norton (it hasn't turned on in 6 months). But after deleting several large games and start up programs, When I “Restarted" it worked, but when I “turn off" it didn't make a blink. I tried again without the HDD and DVD drive and a combination thereof, but no dice.
I thought I had the solution, but now I'm wondering if it was just a stroke of luck?
