So I came home from work one day, and my Averatec 3200 laptop won't power on. When I hit the power button, nothing happens. The small battery shaped light flashes like the battery is charging, but nothing powers on at all.
Still no worky. The green battery light just began flashing once I connected both the battery and the ac cord. When I disconnect the battery and leave the ac cord attached, the laptop still wont power on. Is it possible the battery needs to be installed for the computer to power on at all? Also, when the battery light stops flashing and stays on constantly as if the battery is charged, it begins flashing when I attempt to power it on. Is is possible the battery is just dead and won't carry a charge? I would go out and get a new battery, but it seems an expensive route to go for troubleshooting.Still no worky.

Tried the remove battery and hold power key down for 45 seconds as suggested by Averatec and still won't boot?
Any other suggestions.
P.S. I checked power cord and I am getting the labled 19VDC that the adapter says. Tried the remove battery and hold power key down for 45 seconds as suggested by Averatec and still won't boot?

I have replaced the whole lcd, lcd cable and inverter board no luck
boots up some time I try to defrag the hard drive then cpu fan some time run fast and some time off and on while fan is doing its cycle video goes off on screen both internal and external monitor, led lights are on and fan is running but no video
I think its mother board issue because video is on board
need your opinion.

Re: It won't turn on!
Flashing green battery means it is in suspend mode. Pushing the power button should bring it out of suspension, however, one of the reasons I deactivate both suspend and hibernate mode is because the seldom work right.
I would disconnect your A/C power cord and remove your battery from the laptop. After about 30 seconds plug them back in and your commuter should start again.

Try this. Power down the laptop, then remove the battery. Press the power button for 20 seconds. Then replace the battery and power the laptop back on. Please let me know if this helps.
If laptops do not come with an installation disc, sometimes there is a setting in the BIOS which will allow reseting to factory settings. When the computer is first turned on, it will usually provide a specific key to access the BIOS or setup screen.
I've had this happen to me a few times. If the pin inside the laptop is bent, then there is no question that you'll need a warranty or shop repair on the laptop to fix or replace the power port.
If the power input coming from the power supply is bent, then you can try fixing it by pushing the plug back into place with a pair of pliers. If this doesn't work, then you'll need a replacement power supply or repair.
may have damaged the motherboard on impact without breaking anything off. best bet would be to take the laptop apart and visually check for that kind of damage. should be taken to a repair shop, not done at home
Locate your wireless card compartment on your computer. It is probably on the back of it. Your computer manual should tell you where it is. Open the compartment and locate your wlan card. Remove it from your laptop for about 30 seconds, and then reinsert it and make sure that the proper connections to it are firm and secure. Close up the compartment. Turn on your laptop. Your laptop should search and recognize it. If it doesn't, then your wireless card probably quit working on you. If your computer is still under warranty, and if it doesn't recognize it after you have tried this, then you can contact your computer manufacturer and explain to them what happened. They should replace your wireless card at no charge. If you bought the wireless card from some other store, then take it to them and explain to them, and ask for a replacement wireless card.
Could be a power board problem. Anyone home at that time alone, possible internal damage due to spillage???? Pull harddrive, reseat memory and pull battery and try again.
We need to determine if the problem is your graphics chip or if the laptop really isn't booting. Do you get any kind of hard-drive activity light when you boot it up?
It could be your Power Supply or your CMOS Battery is dead. For Power Supply, you can test by try to connect your Power Cord without battery to see for any PowerPush. If it is still not on then you can check your CMOS Battery for any failure by test the good one from other similar laptop since you had two. I hope this help.
