Does it sound like bios beep?

Maybe have some power problems.

Can you check are cables and connectors inside laptop loose?
I'm notice that sometimes just a gentle push without hearing any click 
or feel it can fix things.

Is it power adapter functional? Can you measure power with multimeter 
and twist around jack that entering in laptop?
