It wont turn on please help me
Is there a power switch on the back of the power supply which is not on? Make sure the power cord is good and plugged into a good power source. Do the fans run inside the system? Is the fan for the power supply working? If not the power supply could be bad. You can purchase a power supply tester to plug the mother board connector into to verify the operation for about $15.00. Do you see any lights on the mother board and the Hard Drive light flickering? If you do and your Key Board lights are on your video controller or monitor could be setup wrong or defective. If the power supply tests good then you need to test the memory and CPU. You could also carefully remove all boards except the video card, mother board and memory and see if it boots up.

If the laptop posts: (power on self test) and you see stuff on the screen, no matter how short ,do the following:
if you have a bootable anti virus disc use it to check for any viruses , if not
try a recovery disc,
both will try to access the hard drive.
if they do not work,(nothing has changed) nothing comes on the screen.
laptop does not post:
remove the screw(s) holding the cover plate where the ram lives
remove the memory sticks, clean the gold edges with a pencil eraser both sides and re-insert them, (not an ink eraser as it will do damage)
swap them around if you have more than one,
if you only have one, borrow one from a friend or try the ram in your friends laptop ,if that's possible, or take the ram to your local pc shop and ask them to check it for you (they may or may not do that for you)
if you can establish that the ram is ok, and anti virus and recovery disc's do not work,then it is most likely, the motherboard has failed .
good luck with that and let me know how you get on.

What exactly does it do when you turn it on? Do any of the lights or fans come on? Any details you can give would help.
