Hi! Swift 1 sf114-34 user here. I charged it till morning the orange colour turned blue. I tried switching it on but only the charging indicator works, and the screen doesn't turn on.

    At the back of the laptop, on the top right side, there is a small pinhole with a battery sign, insert vertically a pin in that hole till you feel a click (microswitch) and keep the pin pushed down for a few seconds, this will reset the battery, If no results do the following:
    Power drain + CMOS reset: Open the back of the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Locate the round CMOS module (with 2 twisted wires Red and Black under the battery, right side) and remove the coin battery. Shorten the +/- terminals inside the CMOS capsule for 2 seconds with a bended paperclip and put the coin battery back with the + sign facing up, close the CMOS capsule. Next, press the Power Button on the keyboard for 10-15 seconds after that reconnect the battery cable to the motherboard. Close the laptop, plug-in the adapter and try to boot.
