| 15 OneInNeedOfHelp, on Mar 8, 2009 4:20:44 am GMTI tried it... it just wont work... i dont know what to do... | 22 gb, on Mar 29, 2009 5:38:18 pm BSTHey,
Was wondering if you got an answer to your problem?
Mine acts like the power connection is faulty?
There is no light to indicate the battery is charging or plugged into power, the hold upside down and reset didn't work for me either.
Thanks
Gary | 71 Laura, on Aug 18, 2009 11:39:56 am BSTHi,
did you ever fix your laptop? mine also acts like a connection problem and wont charge or turn on now it has no battery. It is not the power lead as I have tried another. It was intermitant but has been completely dead for a week now. :o(
Thanks | 73 caz, on Aug 19, 2009 6:58:09 pm BSTHi yes i did fix it I took the adapter out and the battery then put the laptop in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for an hour. When i brought it out i let it thaw out for a while then put the adapter back in and it worked
NB dont put the battery back in or it'll go dead again!!! if so repeat the process
good luck |

| 28 Ana Eli, on Apr 15, 2009 2:27:09 am BSTHi!
My computers problem wasn't that bad and your suggestion still worked for my problem.
My laptop wouldn't turn on if it wasn't plugged. But after turning the laptop upside down it worked! |
| 30 Ac24life, on Apr 28, 2009 1:01:03 am BSTHi I saw ur post on fixing the power button. On a hp laptop..did that fix the pprblem or just temporarily postpone it?? |
| 34 AnonyMOOSE, on May 13, 2009 8:07:41 am BSTThe turning it upside down, power button holding, unplugging the cords trick freaking worked. I simply can not believe that it brought my laptop back from the dead. Thank you so much for sharing that bit of knowledge with the rest of us!!! |
| 35 remaxgirl, on May 14, 2009 12:56:54 am BSTThe upsidedown thing worked for me what makes it do that? |

| 57 Bounce007, on Jul 25, 2009 9:12:27 am BSTHi Akatsuki,
Success !! ....
I had a problem with my laptop having no power also. I did what you suggested to turn it upside down and it worked. So thank you very much. I would however like to know why it worked. I just bought the laptop 2nd hand 2 days ago and if this is the beginning of a major problem, I have the option of returning it for another 2nd hand one they have. Kind regards :-) |
| 59 Joe, on Jul 27, 2009 4:45:32 pm BSTYeah, I have a dell latitude d610 and my laptop doesn't come on when I do this trick. All I know is that the battery light comes on when I plug in the power cord with the battery in. Please help. |
| 60 howfella, on Jul 28, 2009 5:57:50 am BSTHi I tried your advice - hold down pb 30 seconds etc .. it didn't work. No lights are coming on my ACER Aspire 3680 notebook when I try to power up. I think it's the computer cause I've tried a friends similar power pack with same results. MUCH OBLIGED for your help. |
| 63 gaillywailly, on Jul 30, 2009 12:54:25 pm BSTWorked for my advent which has been dead for about 2 years, now about to do it to my brothers hp. thanks your a life saver. |

| 68 Gruntsparent, on Aug 12, 2009 11:51:18 am BSTThank you so much, I tried holding the laptop upside down and it worked!!! I have been able to back up my information as I should have done before. However, I am still fearful that the problem may come up again. I am wondering, based on the solution of having to invert the computer, what might be the overall bigger problem and is it easily fixable? Thanks. |
| 69 HAPPY AGAIN, on Aug 13, 2009 1:26:53 am BSTYOWZERS!!!! MOST AMAZING TRICK EVER!!!! INCREDIBLE!!! THIS WAS SO FUN!!!! THANKYOU ! GRACIAS!! THAT WAS HILLARIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL AND WE WANT TO THROW YOU A PARTY!!!! |
| 72 greg, on Aug 18, 2009 10:49:57 pm BSTMy friends Acer Laptop wouldn't power on, after his power cord had got severed and then he ran the battery down, before he bought a new cord but the laptop would not still power on. After trying everything we knew i went to the desk top and googled for help and got this thread. I disconnected the laptop's battery and power cord and held it over my head with the power button pushed in (feeling kinda stupid) and when i connected the battery and power cord much to my surprise the laptop came back on. Just wanted to say THANKS!!!
