This problem has been occuring for 3 months. Each time it went dead I needed to wait for hours until it revived. And this time it's been for a day. I suspect that it may have something to do with my BIOS battery. Do you think it's because of BIOS Batttery??

I have a very similar problem with an old laptop of mine. The battery (not the CMOS battery) got deteriorated to a point where it would start draining everything inside the laptop dry. It was so bad that my laptop would take ages to START charging the battery.
I'd get a new battery if I were you.
