Ramon,  I don't think it has anything to do with Gambas.

Try removing the battery,  disconnect the power supply, and all other 
connections (mouse, network, modem etc.) and wait a few minutes.

Then reconnect the power supply only and try turning on.

This has worked for me with a HP Omnibook 6100.
