Hold the power button down and then rapidy plug and unplug the ac power until you see the screen flash. Then remove the ac and try to power up. If it doesn't work try to remove and reinsert the battery several times while holding the power button down. It took me a while to figure that out, but it works for me.

Remove battery and use it off A/C power adapter, mine only works this way, maybe shorted battery.

Clock resetting and power button malfunctioning on my Gateway NV53A laptop.

Replace the CMOS battery. In the Control Panel, Power Options, set to High Performance, open Advanced power settings, set Sleep and Hibernate to Never, Adjust other settings to your preference. Set Screen Saver Time. Always turn off the computer and unplug when not in use, it will prolong life and a reboot every day will reset the computer. I would say you have a issue with the outlet connections/plug. If you have a multimeter you can verify.

Battery light flashes and nothing else happens

Yes, the socket broken loose could be your trouble and is common as we are not careful when we insert the plug all the time.

If you are plugging into the wall, you may have a bad plug. Try plugging the USB into the computer and see what happens.

I have a new e627 used only once before today. Battery connection was partially out and screen indicated low battery. After five minutes screen went black and now I cannot power up.

Maybe your battery is totally drained.

Try to connect the AC adaptor of your laptop and plug it to the wall outlet and let it charge for 3 hours or more. When you plug it on the wall socket, it won't show the laptop's led blinking since it was totally drained. But after 3 minutes or more, it will start to show the blinking led to indicate charging. When blinking stops led light disappears, it is fully charged and ready to use.

Remember: Do not use your laptop while it is plugged in to save your battery life. When at home, remove the battery while it is fully charged and plug the AC adaptor directly to the wall outlet. It will still work without the battery as long as it is plugged directly to the wall socket.

Computer wont start up. Blinking green light in the back of tower

I've had that happen twice to my Vaio desktop and there was a very easy fix. I'm not a techie, but I found a recommended solution online when this first happened six months ago. I couldn't find the solution again, but I fortunately remembered the steps.

Remove the side pane to access your motherboard cables, etc. Locate the connector on your motherboard that contains the wires going from your power supply to your motherboard. It will be a large, rectangular connector with a lot of individual wires It is not a ribbon cable but should be located next to a ribbon cable connector andnext to a geen blnking light on your motherboard (when the power supply is plugged into the wall). Note: This green blinking light is in addition to the green blinking light on the back of the PC.

This next step is important: You have to disconnect the connector noted above from the motherboard WHILE the power suply is plugged into the wall. Wait a few seconds and plug it back in. The blinking reen light on the motherboard should now be a solid green light. The PC should now power up.

It worked twice for me; I hope it works for you.

Gateway not turning on with or without battery/AC adaptor

these people are right and there is definitely some hardware issues with your computer...which can be repaired but not really worth the money or effort.

Power light blinking

That is because either you screen is dead(test by connecting a exteral monitor) or you motherboard is dead and I have been seeing many dead motherboards as of late

No switch on

Removing the battery for a long period of time is a huge no-no if the computer is not plugged into the wall

Plug it into the wall and try again

My screen did not blink. Nothing happened until I plugged it in the back of my pc. The wall charger did not work and plugging it into my laptop did not work. Did you try the back of your pc? I left it in there for over 6 hours, but I knew it was working when I plugged it in and right away it powered up.
