The laptop does not turn on: the main situations and ways out of them

Laptop is an integral part of our daily life. But what if you suddenly encounter a problem where your favorite device won't start? In this article, we will look at the main reasons why a laptop may not turn on and ways out of such situations.

Power supply malfunction

One of the most common reasons why a laptop won't turn on is a problem with the power supply. Make sure the charger is plugged into a power outlet and laptop. Tip: Try disconnecting the power supply from the laptop, check it for damage or excessive heat. Then plug it back in and try to turn on your laptop.

Breakage of the power button

If when you press the start button, the sound or stroke has changed (it fails, does not return to its original position), the problem may be in it. In some models, to access the "insides" of the button, it is enough to remove the keyboard, in others you need to completely disassemble.

The problem may be related to the spring, insert (gasket), diaphragm, contacts, power cable. Replacing the button or its individual elements will help correct the situation.

Violation of contacts in connectors

Sometimes the laptop may not turn on due to an incorrect contact in the connectors. Try to carefully remove and reinsert the battery and charging cable into their connectors. Make sure they are properly and firmly inserted. Soldering or replacing eliminates the problem with the sockets. They either fail due to a damaged mount, or the contacts burn out.

Static electricity leakage

Another possible cause of the startup problem could be the accumulation of static electricity. Disconnect the laptop from the power source, remove the battery if it is removable and not built inside the laptop case, and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds to discharge static electricity. Then return the battery and try turning on the laptop.

RAM problems

Malfunctioning RAM can also lead to a startup problem. Remove the RAM stick, clean the contacts of dust and dirt, and then reinstall it in its place. Try turning on your laptop without it, and then if everything works, install it again.

Coolers work, but the screen remains black

If you hear that the coolers are working, but the screen remains black, this may be a problem with the graphics card or matrix of the laptop. Try connecting your laptop to an external monitor via HDMI or VGA ports. If an image is displayed on an external monitor, this means that the problem is most likely in the inverter or matrix of the laptop.

Screen problems

The problem is definitely related to the display if you hear the Windows Welcome sound after startup.

The following options are available:

• The screen is turned off. Try to enable it with hotkeys. Most often it is [Fn]+[F6], [Fn]+[F4] or [Fn]+ [F7]. With the same combination, you could accidentally turn off the display.
• Malfunctions with backlight. It is easy to understand that it is out of order: shine a flashlight on the screen or take a closer look at it. If the problem is in the backlight, then you will see a very dim image. For repairs, you will have to contact the service.
• Loop. In the area of the hinges there is a cable of the screen, which can be damaged. Carefully disassemble the laptop to assess its condition. The need for replacement is indicated by excesses, the insulation is damaged. Theoretically, changing the loop is quite simple, but it is better to entrust it to a professional.
• Matrix. The matrix should be suspected if the hot buttons did not help, the image is not even dim, and the cable is in good condition. In this case, you need to go to the service center. It should be noted that in case of problems with the display, you can temporarily use a stationary monitor to display the image.
