There I was sitting watching Kitchen Nightmares on youtube when my laptop cut off. It was usual for it to cut off at times when I didn’t remember to keep it plugged in, as my battery capacity was very low. So I plugged it back in, it didn’t come on this time…. When I checked, the power light wasn’t on as usual. I deduced that I needed a new charger, as the old one was a bit snagged and I went out to buy a universal laptop charger. I plugged it in, still nothing comes on… please help! Classes began today.
Shut down and remove the charger/power supply from laptop. Remove the battery. Press power button to discharge any residual power. Plug in the charger and press the power button. Did the computer turn on? If yes then battery is either dead or defective. Did it boot up into Windows?
