Make sure the coin cell battery is in working condition. If it is exhausted, the laptop won't boot.

Gateway NV78 laptop turned off and won't reboot.

So reformat a computer that can't access the hard drive, interesting trick. I believe the OP said the machine hangs in limbo with Power Lights on, I assumed the Lights are on, but no one is home, sort of like some of these solutions. Why am I not paid millions of dollars for being the smartest man alive?

Won't boot it only has the battery light blinking

Remove the main battery and try to power up the computer, a bad battery in some cases will prevent the laptop from restarting.

The power led won`t turn on

Remove main battery and try again, if no! sub out the ram memory one at a time and power up, if still no result! have the power supply adapter checked for correct voltage, if okay! the DC jack in the laptop is a common source of trouble, the computer must be dismantled down to the motherboard to address this, professional recommended.

My computer won't turn on i can get to the internet because it has an internet button but the main part of the computer won't turn on

Hello.

The most common reasons for power issues are the battery, power jack and power adapter/cord.

Power off and remove the battery. If the laptop powers on with just the adapter connected, your battery is faulty.

If you move/wiggle the power adapter at the point where it connects to the laptop, and the power goes off and on, the power jack is the problem.

The power jack is inside the laptop and either needs soldering or replacement. If a power jack problem, it should be addressed by someone knowledgeable.

If no change, the power adapter is probably faulty and needs replacement.

Hope this helps.

Gateway mx6214 will not powerup -bought a new power cord and it still doesn't work. What could be the problem?

It is the plug in the laptop that is most likely the cause, plug the power supply in the laptop. Now put your thumb on the plug at the laptop, as you bend it sideways hit the power button repeatedly to see if it will power up, failing that take the main battery out of the laptop and use power supply only. Please take the main battery out first to see if your power supply will start the computer if the computer starts up change the battery.
