The laptop fails to turn on with the power button, but activates when the battery is removed and reinserted.
Recently, I've encountered problems where the laptop refuses to use the power button and only powers on when the battery is removed and then reinserted. It will automatically turn on after reinserting the battery, displaying a message like "CMOS Battery Reset". However, it also powers on if the battery is removed and the laptop is connected. Sometimes the power button works and other times it doesn't. I'm wondering if it's okay to just remove and reinsert the battery every time. Could this affect the lifespan of my laptop? Or should I take it to a repair service? Please advise me on the best course of action and let me know if there are any issues beyond these problems. Thank you for your help.

Disconnect the keyboard screws, take off the keyboard, swap in a fresh CMOS battery, put it back in place, then restart and test functionality.
There are more specifics I need to include.
Currently, my laptop operates normally when I press the power button, but if I hold it down repeatedly, it will enter sleep mode.
However, once I press the power button and keep holding it, it doesn’t go to sleep.
Additionally, in my laptop model, the keyboard remains fixed inside and cannot be removed.
Eventually you need to press a different button than the power button to wake it from sleep. Try mouse left click. I believe the keyboard is always removable—it’s clipped in, and the screws are on the back. What is the exact model number of your HP ELITEBOOK 8460p? A BIOS update might fix this problem with not waking up.
No, I'm not referring to waking the laptop from sleep mode. It's about using the left-click button of the mouse to wake it up while the system is running, and then trying to press the power button to go into sleep mode. The issue seems to be with the power button or possibly some unknown hardware problems. Also, inserting the battery every time to turn on the laptop might not be safe.
Your message was brief, so I've adjusted it slightly for clarity while keeping the original tone and meaning.
