Computer Is Not Powering On

The notebook does not appear to power on.

Before turning the notebook on be certain that the laptop is not damaged or missing any parts necessary for function. When pressing the power button and there is no response make sure to:

  • Press the power button long enough (approximately 4 seconds).

If there is no response, then proceed to the following:

  • Ensure the battery pack connection of the notebook is secure and tight.
  • Plug in the AC adapter to its connector on notebook’s left side and allow a charging time of 30 minutes.
  • The battery may be completely discharged, so allow for a 24-hour charging time after no response from the 30-minute charge.
  • After the 24-hour charge, if no response occurs, replace battery entirely as it may be dead; keep the old battery for the time being.
  • If no response after the battery replacement, other problem(s) may exist elsewhere and notebook may require replacing other parts.

Parts needing replacement may include the motherboard, power supply, button, or inverter.

A Rattling Is Heard From The Laptop

The notebook is powered on and working, but an odd sound is emanating from the notebook.

If there appears to be an unusual sound that was not previously heard, resort to the following steps:

First, locate the source of the rattling.

  • Potential sources of sounds could be from the hard drive and the fan for the heatsink.

If the sound is coming from the hard drive location:

  • It is likely the notebook is beginning to fail and will need replacement down the line.
  • Before the drive fails, be sure to store any important data on an external drive.

If the sound comes from the fan attached to the heatsink:

  • Fan may be clogged with dust from use and require cleaning via compressed air (do not blow it out using your mouth).

If there appears to be a Fan Error:

  • Fan's cooling system has failed, in this case you would need to take your device in for service at a local electronic repair store or if you can replace the fan yourself.
