    Remove battery, unplug machine. Pres and hold power button while battery & power unplugged for few moments. Then replace the power cord (not battery) and see if it turns on

    Was it wiped when the machine was powered on? Were the wipes very damp so some of the alcohol may have seeped into the keyboard?
