My lap top will not turn on anymore... its plugged into the wall and no power what so ever.

  • Anonymous Feb 26, 2010

    I did remove the battery and used just the adapter and still no luck, I even tried several outlets throughout my home, still no luck. Do you think it could be just the adapter? I have never replaced the battery or adapter since I've owned it and I've had it for about 5-6 years now.

If the laptop is not turning on we can try these things:
very first thing: (unplug all component including the battery from your laptop leave it for 2 mins and then press the power button for 30 sec without the battery and the ac adapter after that plug them all back and then turn on if it works fine if not please try these things:)

1. Check if there is a power indication on the ac adapter, if yes then check the jack and see if it is plugged properly with the laptop or the pin of the jack is fine. 2.If there is no power try a different adapter or try to turn on the laptop on battery or you try to change the wall socket to see if there is a problem with the wall socket for power. 3. If there is a power on the adapter and the jack is fine see if you get any indication of power on the laptop or not. 4.If there is a power on the laptop its fine if not there may be a possibility of mother board failure. 5.If you get a power on the laptop you can plug the laptop with an external monitor and then turn on to see if you get the display on the other one. If you get the display on the external monitor then there may be a possibility of lcd problem, in that case reseting the lcd cable will help.

If there is no power or lights etc, then first we must suspect the Wall Power Supply, you are going to have to try a replacement one to see if thats it, or using a meter check for voltage from adapter. Also check in another wall socket. Also take battery out, then try adapter, see if battery was influencing anything.

    OK well IF the adapter doesn't have any light on it, & the PC hasn't either, then it must be the Power unit. Replace it.

Hp pavilion Dv 7 won't power on even when the lap top is charged.

Pull the battery and plug it in to the wall (in other words rule out the battery). If it still refuses to come on, check out this troubleshooting link:

The lap top wont turn on. I tried to remove the battery then plug in the power supply and still it wont turn on. The blue light on the power supply turns off as soon as you plug it in to the lap top.

PLACE YOUR SYSTEM UPSIDE DOWN AND REMOVE THE BATTERY AS ITS TEMPERATURE IS IN WORSE STATE .TRY TO COOL IT DOWN .IN FUTURE PLACE YOUR SYSTEM ON SOME MATERIAL SO THAT THE AIR SUPPLY REMAINS CONSTANT AND TEMPERATURE OF SYSTEM DONT REACH ITS CRITICAL RANGE.

When the lap top logs off front light stays on

Do you still have the power cord plugged in? There are indicator light s for Battery operation, power on, hard drive activity. If you just logged off but the laptop is stillpowered on, then there will be a light indicating that. If you powered off the laptop but left it plugged into a wall outlet, then there is a chrging indicator that will stay lit.

The last time I used my Compaq Presario v2000 I had it on battery power. The battery died and now that I am trying to use it I have the power adapter plugged into it and I get nothing when I hit the power...

This problem is either due to your power adapter, wall plug or the back of your lap top where the power adapter goes into. My guess would be the power adapter, they are infamous for going bad. Try wiggling the cord that connects to the power brick (black box) from your lap top.

PC wont go on & beeps...

thats mostlikely one of the wire's for your speakers, printer or any other device yuo have that needs power..
If so that wont help your pc in any way.

I'd untangle and trace the wire back to see where it's coming from to be safe.
Also if your pc is plugged in along with your monitor and you can turn both on and you still get an error, then you have a problem. I'd submit a new question detaling the error or beeps your getting.

Lap top not turning on

Try removing the battery, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging it back in. Plug in power cord and try to turn it on.
