0

Don't panic. Most power issues have simple solutions.

Step 1: Check the Power

Charger plugged into both laptop and wall outlet?
Try a different outlet.
Check for a charging light. No light = possibly faulty charger.

Step 2: Hard Reset

Disconnect the charger.
Remove the battery (if removable).
Hold the power button for 15–20 seconds.
Reconnect charger (and battery).
Try turning it on.

Step 3: Check the Display

Your laptop might be on but the screen could be off:

Listen for fan noise or drive activity.
Press the brightness up key (Fn + brightness).
Connect an external monitor to test.

Step 4: Remove External Devices

Disconnect all USB devices, monitors, and peripherals. A faulty USB device can sometimes prevent booting.

When to Contact Support

If none of the above works, the issue may be hardware-related. Open a support ticket and we'll help diagnose it.
