Go have it diagnosed, buy the replacement parts from tigerdirect or some other discount place and swap the part out

Your battery could be shot

Plug it in, if it doesn't shut off while it's charging, then it's the battery

Only solution is to put it in rice

But seriously, you could buy a cheap battery online from Ebay or Amazon ( on buying form the retailers) and try it out.

Its the battery. Replace it and it should stop.

Sounds like it's overheating. Blow the fans with some of that canned air. Or open it up and blow everything.

go to a computer store and buy some thermal paste and clean the fan connecting the heatsink to the motherboard. Should be good to go

you can find cheap brand thermal paste at radioshack for about 8-11 bucks.


if it still has the problem, then you motherboard is done.
