If you are having trouble getting your laptop to power up, here are some possible causes and solutions…
Check for the simple things first. For example, it is easy to mistake a black screen for a laptop powering up issue. So check to be sure your screen brightness didn’t get turned down somehow.
It may sound crazy, but something as simple as checking your power supply could solve your problem. Check to be sure your laptop is plugged in.
Overheating can cause laptop power issues. So, always make certain your vents are clear.
Forgetting to remove a DVD or USB before starting your laptop back up can also cause laptop start-up issues. If so, just check, remove and reboot.
If you recently installed something new on your laptop, an incorrect install could be problematic.
Adaptors look similar. So check to be sure you used the right one.
Try plugging in your laptop directly, as your issue could be a faulty docking station.
If your power light is on, your laptop battery could be causing your woes. If you feel comfortable opening your laptop and replacing the battery, by all means, have at it. If you would rather an assist by a qualified computer service technician, the experienced professionals at Computer “A” Services can help.
Do you hear any beeping? Different quantities of beeps can mean different things – anything from a video card or memory issue to a processor problem. You can also check your laptop manufacturer’s website to see what the number of beeps you are hearing means to you.
