its possible you might have a static build up. to discharge the static you have to look on the bottom of ur laptop and see if their is a pinhole reset button, if yes you need to pull out ur battery and unplug you laptop then hold the reset button for 10 seconds. afterwards you may reinstall the battery and the power supply. i hope you laptop has a reset pinhole...
