Laptop Will Not Power On
Laptop does nothing when the power button is pressed.
Dead Battery
Make sure your power adapter is connected to the laptop and plugged into an electric outlet. The adapter light should be on.

Learn how to replace the battery using this guide.
Power Adapter Not Working
Check to see if the power adapter is connected to the computer. Also, check to make sure the power adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet. If it is plugged into both and the light on the adapter is not on, you may need to purchase a new power adapter. You can also try using a different electrical outlet to make sure it is the adapter that is causing the problem.
Screen is Blank And/Or Flickering
Screen is black, blank, flickering or has any obvious distortion.
Display not Enabled
If you recently connected your computer to a monitor or projector, then the display settings may still think that it is connected. If you press the fn key on the keyboard and the f8 key it will cycle through different display settings, which may fix the black screen.
Output Cable Not Connected Properly
If you are trying to display your laptop screen on an external screen or on a projector, make sure that the HDMI cable that you are using is connected properly to both the laptop and the other device, and that the cable itself works. Avoid using an HDMI to any kind of adapter cable, (such as HDMI to DVI) as this could possibly be causing the issue.
Display is Damaged
Check to see that your laptop is powered on and that it is connected to the power adapter. If the laptop is on, and the screen is either blank, black or flickering, and the other remedies fail, you may need to replace the screen. Learn how to replace the screen using this guide.
