    Hello,

    I can't turn on my laptop at all. There is no light, can't hear the fans nothing.

    Any idea ?

    If the above fix (clearing CMOS) works, it most likely means your BIOS version is between 1.2.12 and 1.2.14. I'd recommend updating to BIOS 1.2.15 immediately, otherwise this issue is likely to happen again.

    True that. And also, if it does not help, you could try reseatting the internal cables. The power button cable could be loose.
