Some models have issues. Let's get the make, model and age so we can quickly answer the ones we know about.
For those you can google DV6000 recall and learn about changing the motherboard and some that try to bake the motherboard or resolder the chip in question.
Be sure you don't pay anyone to look at this one. It's a well known shop hound.
Just wondering, why didn't you answer how old it was?

Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for
30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot. It worked
for me! Just shutdown, put the battery back in you're good to go. Worked
for me so definitely worth a try.
