How to Solve PC Or Laptop Will Not Power On

Desktop Computer
If your desktop computer isn't powering on there is a few things you can check before you go out and buy a new Power Supply. If all of these fail, try getting a new Power Supply to see if it solves your problem. If it doesn't then contact your manufacturer.

• Make sure the power cable from the computer to the AC outlet is plugged in at both ends.
• If the computer is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, make sure the light is on and it is powered on.
• Check that the AC power from the wall is working. If there's no power, check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker.
• Try a different power cord.

Laptop Computer
If none of them help, you may need to replace your battery or AC adapter.

• If you're trying to run a laptop on battery power and it doesn't power on, make sure that a battery is in the battery compartment.
• If the battery is in place, try connecting the AC adapter.
• Make sure the AC adapter securely plugged into the computer and into the wall outlet.
• If the computer doesn't work or the battery doesn't charge when the AC adapter is plugged in.

Try plugging in the AC adapter with the battery out. If you get no power then you probably need to replace the AC adapter.
