How do I fix a laptop that won’t turn on?

 

If your laptop won’t turn on, the problem could be with the power source, the hardware, or the screen. In many instances, you might be able to fix the issue on your own by placing an order for replacement parts or changing the settings on your laptop. Hence ICFix Service provides Laptop chip-level training courses.

 

Check the battery and power source:

 

Check the power supply first if your laptop won’t turn on even with the plug-in. You could experience a wide range of problems with the power supply. For instance, the issue could be as straightforward as using the incorrect charging cord, resulting in improper voltage, or it could be that the power source has failed.

 

1. Completely remove your laptop’s battery to see if the power source is the problem.

 

2. Next, connect your laptop to a working outlet.

 

3. Plug another device into the outlet to see whether it works; if it does, the problem isn’t with the outlet.

 

4. If your laptop turns on without the battery in place, your battery is the problem and not the power supply.

 

5. You’ll need to buy a new one, but you can just use AC power in the meantime.

 

6. Using your laptop without the battery installed is entirely acceptable, but it means you’ll always need to have it plugged into an outlet.

 

Identify screen problems:

 

If your power supply is operational, you must conduct additional troubleshooting.

 

1. Check to see if any non-essential external displays, such as projectors and monitors, are preventing your laptop from starting up by being disconnected.

 

2. Turn out the lights to check if a very faint image is being displayed if the power button is lighted and you can hear fans or other noises but there isn’t an image being displayed.

 

3. The screen’s inverter has failed, so you’ll need to replace it if there is a very faint image when The lights are turned off.

 

4. Another possibility is that your brightness button is damaged.

 

Remove all of your laptop devices:

 

Your laptop might not turn on if you have forgotten a memory card, DVD, or USB drive inside of it. The BIOS might be attempting to boot from a removable storage device, which could be why it’s getting “stuck.” Try to start your computer after removing all USB drives and other accessories.

 

Utilize a rescue disc:

 

Using a rescue disc, you can boot your computer and resolve any Windows-related problems you might be experiencing. The recovery disc’s scanning tools will identify any viruses that are causing your computer issues so you can get rid of the offending malware.

 

Launch in safe mode:

 

You might still be able to get your laptop to work in safe mode if it won’t power on. You can remove any new software or drivers that might be impacting your laptop while in safe mode. If your primary user account has been compromised, you can also establish a new one.

 

The Hardware:

 

Checking your hardware is the final stage in the power issue diagnosis process. Your boot problems could be the result of recently installed hardware, such as a new RAM kit. Removing and installing your new hardware will allow you to reboot. Unfortunately, there are occasions when the hardware in your laptop, like the hard drive, just breaks down with no obvious cure. Your hard disc has failed if you hear clicking noises or notice the drive spinning up before shutting off. This usually indicates that you’ll just need to swap out your hard disc. It is wise to have an external hard drive in situations like this so you can back up any things you might require.
