my laptop won't turn on?

It sounds like you probably have a hardware problem due to the power going out and coming back on. IF you don't use a power surge, these things can really damage your computer. That's why you should always turn off, and shut down your computer when not in use, or during storms.

But, here are a few things you an try.

It may be a bios problem. Turn on your laptop, then immediately press down the power button again and shut it off, but this time keep holding down the power button for about 30 full seconds. Then power up the laptop again and see if you get lucky.

If that does not work, try shutting your compute off and on over and over many times, as sometimes you get lucky in these situations . . and your computer will randomly boot up properly. If you do get lucky and it boots, even one time . . . . you really should do a full system restore and reset your computer back to factory to try to fix this problem, because the second you shut it down again, the same problem will happen.

Lastly . . I had a Dell Inspiron that had this happen. Noting I could do, but mine was under warranty. Sent it back and Dell fixed it for free. Had to replace the mother board and cpu

These people are all very confused.

You plug a charger into the laptop - so if the power cut (I live in Bangkok - sometimes they just flip a connection bar to reconnect, so we get very big spikes on the power) then the most damage it can do is the power supply unit that you plugged into the wall.

If your battery isn't working or charging, then you can't boot without the power supply. I think it's likely you probably just blew a fuse, these power supplies aren't too cheap and they are well designed to protect themselves.

Take your charger to be tested, test the fuse first, and see how you go from there.

I'd vote 90% sure the fuse died, 10% the external PSU and 0% laptop failure.

Yeah your charging circuit is shorted. I'd take it in to tigerdirect or Best Buy to have them test it but I think you're looking at a new laptop.

Your laptop was proberly fried due to the power outage. Were you using a surge protector?

IF not then yourlaptop is proberly a gonner

try and unplug it from the wall then pull the battery out and wait a minute then put the battery back in and plug back into wall. that may reset things

madam just remove ur laptop battry and connect direct to the power and open it, i thing battry gone, u can connect without battry, by pluging direct.
