I'd suggest removing all peripherals, AC adapter and battery from system. Press "Power On" button for about 20 seconds to release Static Flea Power. Replace battery, adapter, and then power on system. Hopefully computer starts normally. Please click Service Manual in the link below.

Lastly, if you see any lights blinking on the system, I suggest you view the LED Error Codes under the Device Status Lights in the service manual:

If removing the battery doesn't work, I suggest reseating the motherboard (Coin-Cell battery) battery in the system:
1. Remove adapter and battery from system.
2. Open case and remove motherboard (Coin-Cell) battery.
3. Press the "Power On" for 15 seconds and then wait for about 1 hour or more....
4. Replace motherboard battery, battery, adapter, and then power on system.
Hopefully this will reset BIOS to all default settings...

I tried the above procedure for the first time. Nothing happen, I will wait longer next time.
There is no lights blinking on the system, When Just start them all the control for the DVD (up the keyboard) blick in serie, the DVD driver light blick too and them just turn off. I also take off the coin battery but still happen. There was no LED Error Codes as you mention. Just turn on as usually (with all the cycle of turn on the light and off in serie) and them all the machine turn off. Before execute the A33xx.EXE mentioned the system running well under W10. PLEASE ADVICE!!!!!!!

I suspect the BIOS is corrupt and most likely, you will need a new replacement motherboard. You can check out the information in the link below to see it that will help recovery the BIOS.
