Compaq Presario Laptop M2010 US Won't Start

I had used the screen saver function and then noticed it turning
the machine off when unattended for several hours. I took off
the screen saver (I was only using the screen saver for about 24
hours, it was a recent decision to use it).

I was able to turn it back on the first time after pressing in the
button
for about 20 seconds but now it's dead.

I've tried these instructions I found here once given by HP technitians
with no luck:

1. Disconnect AC power.
2. Disconnect laptop battery.
3. Press power button in the laptop for 20 seconds (or 1 minute).
4. Connect AC power (not battery).
5. Check whether the laptop powers up.

I had a previous Compaq that I had good luck with so decided for them
again. However, this machine has caused many problems since buying it.
The DVD won't even play movies anymore. I have had several blue
screens of death since using it (It's about 14 months old) and it
is slow with multi-tasking. I will bring it in for a memory upgrade so
now will probably do that sooner than later if I need to bring it in to
a shop.

Does anyone have any tips to get it to turn back on?

I got it to tun on but after using the power adaptor for a while it
then
switched to battery and was unable to get the power adaptor to work.
I see that there is a cool fix for this at
