Hi, did you try pressing the F7 key with or without the Fn key? Boot to BIOS with F2 and if BIOS displays OK, press F9 (reset) and F10 (save changes) the try to boot to Windows. IF nothing works I recommend bringing the laptop to Acer Services in your country.

Hi Mittraa,

Few things are more frustrating than pressing the power button on your laptop and… nothing happens. In many cases, you can diagnose and fix the issue yourself. This guide will walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem.

Before we dive into the solutions, it’s helpful to understand what might be causing the problem. Here are some common reasons why a laptop won’t turn on:

Power supply issues
Battery problems
Hardware failure
Screen malfunctions
Software or operating system errors.

Now, let’s explore how to diagnose and fix these issues.

10 Steps to Fix a Laptop That Won’t Turn On:-

1. Check the power supply and battery
   The most common reason for a laptop not turning on is a problem with its power supply. Start by checking these points:
   Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the laptop and the wall outlet.
   Try a different wall outlet to rule out issues with the power source.
   Try a different power adapter to determine if the original is faulty.
   Remove the battery (if removable) and try powering on using just the AC adapter.
2. Perform a hard reset
   A hard reset can sometimes resolve power issues:
   Unplug the power cord and remove the battery (if possible).
   Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
   Reconnect the power cord (but not the battery) and try turning on the laptop.
3. Check for display issues
   Sometimes, the laptop may be on, but the display isn’t working. Try these steps:
   Look closely at the screen in a dark room to see if there’s a faint image.
   Connect an external monitor to see if the laptop is outputting video.
   Listen for fan noise or hard drive activity to determine if the laptop is powering on.
4. Remove external devices
   External devices can sometimes interfere with the boot process. Disconnect all external devices (including USB drives, external hard drives, and even your mouse and keyboard) and try powering on the laptop.
5. Check for overheating
   Overheating can cause a laptop to shut down and refuse to turn on until it cools down. Ensure all vents are clear and the laptop isn’t being used on a soft surface that might block airflow. Consider using a laptop cooling pad to improve ventilation.
6. Listen for beep codes
   When you try to turn on your laptop, listen for any beeping sounds. These beep codes can indicate specific hardware issues. Consult your laptop’s manual or the manufacturer’s website to interpret these codes.
7. Try booting in Safe Mode
   If your laptop turns on but won’t boot into the operating system, try booting into Safe Mode:
   Turn on the laptop and immediately start pressing the F8 key repeatedly.
   Select “Safe Mode” from the boot options menu.
8. Check for hardware issues
   If you’ve recently installed new hardware (like RAM or a hard drive), try removing it and see if the laptop will turn on.
9. Inspect for signs of physical damage
   Look for any signs of physical damage, such as liquid spills or impact damage, which could be causing the power issue.
10. Consider professional repair
    If none of the above steps work, it may be time to seek professional help. A certified technician can diagnose and repair more complex issues.
