laptops are very good normally but don't boot up if there is a device in the USB slot or a CD/DVD in the drive.
If it still refuses to POST, remove the AC Adapter, remove the battery and remove the hard drive.
Power the unit up without the hard drive and it should complete POST and complain that there is no hard drive. If that doesn't work remove AC adapter, ensure battery is disconnected and remove hard drive and RAM. Try again. If it still doesn't work, you have a mother board fault and it needs a service centre to help you out.
If it does work at one of the options, when you have closed the laptop down, replace the RAM first and test, then the Hard Drive.
Hope this fixes your problem.

TomTom Rider unit wont charge. Tried mains charger, USB connector and bike charger. Swapped out the battery and the unit boots up but that is just the charge in the new battery. Any help appreciated.

Power board is faulty, repair or replace. Workshop repair required. Oh, stop plugging a charger into the USB socket. It doesn'tlike it, thats for data transfer only. The round pin socket is the charger port

Is it failing to show anything on the screen? Failing to boot?

Some basic troubleshooting steps:

1. If nothing comes up on the screen, first try removing your battery for a few minutes without the charger plugged in. Attempt to turn it on (it won't, but it'll discharge the capacitors). Then replace the battery and charger and try to boot.

2. Use the windows install disc to repair the operating system, simply insert it, boot from it (use F8 to select it if you need to) and hit repair when the window comes up.
3. Also, sometimes connecting to an external display (use the VGA port) can help troubleshoot whether it is a display, or a boot issue.

My blackberry bold keeps showing a battery with a redline on the screen instead of booting.

the device is drained to the bone this should go away and boot after 30 minutes max. I'm assuming you are using the original blackberry charger using a charger that fits but doesn't match the voltage/amperage that the blackberry charger outputs you wont be able to get rid of the drained battery screen if your blackberry haves juice you can use a non-approved weaker charger but that screen means it needs the original....also the blackberry USB is lets the same amount of electricity

Wont boot up pass the first screen

Check your charger, The charger which connects to your home power outlet is better than a USB one. So charge it for at least 30 min or with a borrowed charger incase yours is damaged and try again

Hi,i have a Dell Latitude D600 with cant boot with the charger. I can turn on the laptop using charger but it wont boot. It juz powered on like 2secs n gone off. But if i use battery to boot,then is...

That could either be a problem with the AC adapter or the motherboard.
You can try updating the firmaware of you motherboard first. Go to this link: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=LAT_PNT_PM_D600&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=
download the BIOS firmware, save it on the desktop then run it. Your computer will reboot while the BIOS is being updated, if you'll have the same problem after that, call Dell to get a replacement for your AC adapter or motherboard.

I have a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311. I plug in my charger for it but it wont take charge. It wont power on, it wont do anything, wont boot up either.

Seems you have problem with your charger...might be its not working. Check its its led is glowing or not.
if its working then might be the battery of the laptop is exhausted.
contact your dealer...

Computer wont boot up

Take the battery out and try to boot the computer up with the external power supply.. If this works the the battery is shorted. If it doesn't then you will need to try another power supply, if that doesn't work then something internal has shorted in laptop

Have you tried booting it from yor CD drive with bootable software?

Any led flashing anywhere in the computer?

If not, we are talking about energy problem. Try fitting the energy cord firmly, try connecting the battery charger in a different power outlet.

It doesn't turn on

you may have accidentally put the battery in backwards look at the top off the battery you will see 3 copper connections now look into the camera you will see there are 3 connections in there.. line them up and drop it in until it clicks if you still cant power up you may have to charge it first.

plug the camera into its charger and leave it to charge for 20-30 min remove it from charger and try to get it to boot if it boots great you can put it back on the charger and let it finish if it still wont boot you should take the camera, battery and charger to the store you purchased from they will most likely try a new battery in it if it still wont boot it needs to be returned. I hope this helps
