Laptop will not turn on. [Solved/Closed]

OK.....TRY TAKING OUT ANY CORDS AND TAKE OUT THE BATTERY AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR DOWN for 30 SECONDS THEN PUT THE CORD BACK IN AND TRY TO TURN IT ON THEN PUT BATTERY BACK IN.

Hi there I got a problem,I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 laptop and the power cord is pluged in and the blue light is on,but when I hit the power button to turn it on the lap top doesn't do anything and doesn't come on.

OMG!!!!! I just flipped my car upsidedown and its now running!
My wife is over my head at the moment and shes about to be turned on...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem, did you figure out what the problem is and solution by any chance? i purchased it recently, it started doing this the night after i left it on for the night. next day everytime i turn on, it turns off in 2 sec. after a month i tried a shot, it started and stayed up for 1 min may be... then same thing again 2 sec. i guess i have to wait for a year to turn it on :) :)

I have an hp laptop..it just keeps turning on and off every 2 sec by itself when i turn it on..any ideas?

Thanks man , i took my friends laptop to fix the problem , one morning i found this idea on iternet, i fallowed this trick it worked fine.

I tried the 'hold the the wife upside down' trick and it worked for me!! You have to shake her at the same time for 30 seconds.

This is the second time that my laptop won't turn on, i can see that there's light on the power button but nothing is happening, i can't here the fan rotating, lcd is completely black ...

i hope holding it upsidedown for 30 secs will work ...

*guys from HP sez its a common problem for the new HP COMPAQ laptop ...geeze T_T

Replace the CMOS battery. Your problem will be resolved.

Im having the same problem with a HP laptop here
When i plug the power connector there is a blue light right there on the connector,.. but none of the lights of battery charging or power are turning on

Tried upside down tip, is not working for me

What can i try now?

If it is a Power Button problem, then you might be able to use the QuickPlay Button as a substitute. The problem most likely is a ZIF cable that connects the motherboard to the power button. That cable controls sound too. You can either order a new cable....they are hard to find at the moment. Or you can swap the cable that controls the touch buttons. The cable is a ribbon cable, which weakens from pressing the power button due to flexing.

Well, seemed to do the trick for now... So it isn't the cable after all!

Don't see how holding it upside down helps though. ;-)

Cheers!

Toshiba Satellite A135-S2246.

Plugging it in, the power light comes on, but no battery-charge light.

Power button completely unresponsive.

Tried the solution here- remove battery and power, hold power button for 30 seconds, replace battery, turn on.

Worked like a charm, and my heart attack is aborted!

What the hell...Just happened...

HOW DOES TURNING THE LAPTOP UPSIDE DOWN WITH NOTHING IN IT FIX THAT?! I laughed at it at first, because it sounds like a joke. But wow.

Kudos to you, atasuki; you saved me hundreds. I really, REALLY want to know why that works. I cannot thank you enough.

OK, i have the same problem with Toshiba Satellite. The laptop lights would go on, then you hear the fan and the CD drive running for 2 seconds then it dies. I found the solution to this problem in other forums and feel that i have to share it with everyone.

Solution:

1.Unplug AC and remove battery.
2. Hold power button for 1 minute (some claim holding it upside down helps..dont ask me why)
3. Leave laptop for 1 minute
4. Insert battery back into laptop and plug in AC.
5. Turn on


It took me several times before i finally get it to work. Make sure the battery is charged before doing this.

I was so happy when this worked for me. I was so frustrated. I just have to share this with everyone else.

but this wonyt work

Hi Akatsuki,

Just wanted to write and say THANK YOU!! My HP laptop was not turning on. I took it to the Geek Squad here in the US (at the chain store at Best Buy) and they told me the motherboard was fried, and to buy a new laptop. Instead, I came home, checked this website, saw your message, and tried your advice - and it worked! Thanks so much for your help - my laptop was driving me crazy!!

Found this on the first page...{OK.....TRY TAKING OUT ANY CORDS AND TAKE OUT THE BATTERY AND HOLD THE LABTOP UPSIDE DOWN AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTEN FOR 30 SECONDS THEN TURN IT RIGHT SIDE UP AND PUT THE CORD BACK IN TRY TO TURN IT ON THEN PUT BATTERY BACK IN}

I just replaced the Power connector for a Sony VAIO that had broken. After 2 1/2 hours of careful removal of EVERY piece on this Laptop including the Motherboard and disconnecting all the TINY ribbon cables, i was able to replace the power connector.

I then re-installed EVERY piece I removed. I plugged in the power cord with the battery installed and the Battery light just flashed rapidly. When I press the power button, the green power light was on with the button pushed but off when I released it. OK long story short. Instead of dismantlement the laptop again, I tried the above solution. IT WORKED!!! I don't know how or why it worked but it did. I was able to get the laptop to power up without the battery in place. Now I think that the problem is a bad battery. The laptop won't recognize that the battery is plugged-in.

Hi!
I have a sony vaio (NR260E) laptop bought some time during june 2008. It is a factory refurbished laptop bought from Japan. The warranty period has been expired. Now I'm in india. Untill yesterday my laptop was running perfect. And I did a normal shutdown too. But when I tried to power on the laptop later the screen was was not displaying anthing. (Black screen)I don't know what to do. But can anyone suggest the solution. Is there anything related to motherboard. The power button in my laptop is showing on so it can not be the problem with power cable. Please help.

Thanks in advance
