How do I fix my laptop that was in contact with static?

My laptop was in a backpack with basketball shorts that were staticky. When I pulled that laptop out to use it, it showed no signs of life. No lights, no display, nothing. Even when plugged into the charger. I tried taking the battery out, holding down the power button for 2 minutes, plugging in the charger without the battery in, and pressing the power button. That didn't work. I tried a couple more times. Nothing. Then tried putting in the battery with the power cord still attached, and the light that indicates that it is charging turned on. But when I opened it and pressed the power button, it died again and showed no signs of life. Tried repeating the process and haven't even had the chafing light come back on at all.

    Your gym shorts are/were not the problem, that I'm sure of. Best take it to a shop and find out what the malfunction is.
