We had some people working on the electric in our building and during this time the HP laptop was plugged into the wall outlet with no surge protector. We noticed the next day that its dead. It wont do anything when pushing the power button. Any thoughts here? MB, battery, charger?

in my office, we take the battery out & put it back in....everything returns to normal. Beforehand they wouldn't work on charger or docking station....kind of wierd but it worked.

if that does not work, remove the battery and try plugging in the unit. Does his work?

If not, try another power adapter.

More than likely the battery took the big hit, or the power supply.

Removing the Mains Adapter and Battery then pressing the On Button for 30 seconds then refitting the Battery and try turning it on again.

Sometimes the Electronics get Confused when you get Power Spikes or outages and the Electronics need to be fully discharged to reset them.

I would also suggest trying another Mains Adapter as well because if there was anything serious that happened that would the first part to fail.
