If your laptop won’t start, try these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check the Power Supply
- Plug it in: Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the laptop and the wall outlet.
- Try a different outlet: Sometimes the outlet may not be working.
- Check the charger: Look for damage to the cable or connector. Try a different charger if available.
2. Perform a Hard Reset
- Disconnect the charger.
- Remove the battery (if removable).
- Hold the power button for 30 seconds.
- Reinsert the battery and try turning it on.
3. Look for Signs of Life
- Do you hear any fan noise or see LED lights?
- Yes: The issue might be with the display or operating system.
- No: Likely a power issue.

4. Check the Display
- Try connecting to an external monitor.
- If the screen is blank but the laptop is on, shine a flashlight at the screen—if you see faint images, the backlight may be faulty.
5. Boot Into Safe Mode
- If the laptop turns on but won’t load Windows, try pressing F8 or Shift + F8 while starting.
- Select Safe Mode and troubleshoot from there.
6. Remove External Devices
- Disconnect USB drives, external monitors, and other peripherals.
- Try restarting without them.

- If you’re comfortable, open the back panel and remove/reinsert the RAM and SSD/HDD.
9. Check for Overheating
- If your laptop was overheating, wait for it to cool down before trying again.
10. Use a Bootable USB or Recovery Disk
