This is the most coarse issue experienced by most of the laptop users.

Ac Adapter

You may name the above issue in dissimilar ways such as blank screen on my notebook, no display in my laptop, notebook does not boot, laptop will not start, laptop does not turn on, no power in laptop or no post in my laptop.

The above issue is likely to occur when one of these happens:

A/C adapter does not function

Problem with Ram

Battery does not work

Hard disk failure

Corrupted principles files

Display drivers not functioning properly

Finally, malfunctioning of display card

Troubleshooting

You can troubleshoot the issue or repair the laptop by following the below steps:

1. Check the display

You can check if the issue is with the display of your notebook Lcd or Tft display. You can do this by connecting external display and if you are able to get display on external display device then it is confirmed that it is the Lcd or the Tft display that has to be repaired.

Sometimes the corrupted display drivers might be the cause for the question of not getting the display on your notebook or displaying blank screen on your laptop.

We can try to conclude the issue by updating or reinstalling the display drivers and you will have to check the website of your notebook constructor for the updated display drivers and if the latest version of display drivers are ready then please update the drivers by installing them or update the same from device manager (Right click My Computer and make your mind up Properties and make your mind up Hardware tab and click on the selection device Manager). You can update the drivers by increasing the display adapters and right clicking on Intel Chipset house and selecting the selection "Update drivers".

You can sometimes fix the issue by reinstalling the drivers. You can reinstall the display drivers in dissimilar ways, such as you can install the drivers from the Operating principles Cd or saving discs that come with your notebook or from the saving partition present in the system.

Even check with the constructor website if there is any latest Bios ready for your notebook model, please update even your Bios.

Be Cautious while updating Bios as if not updated properly or if you downgrade the Bios or install a lower version of it, then this will make your laptop to not work for ever and also the Bios for 32bit principles differs from that of 64bit.

If there is no display even on external monitor then the issue is with the graphic adapter malfunction of your notebook and needs to be replaced.

2. Checking the A/C adapter

(Ensure that the power outlet you are using is in working condition)

Remove the A/C adapter which is linked to the notebook.

Detach the external devices (quick dock, surge connector, etc) attached to notebook.

Now, remove the battery from the notebook.

Press the power slider or the power button for 25 - 35 seconds to removal the static charges that might have stored in the laptop.

(With the prolonged usage of the laptop, some static charges tend to stay in the notebook and these static charges do not allow the laptop to function normally.)

You can now reattach the A/C adapter. (We are running the laptop only on A/C power and not using the battery)

Turn on the notebook.

If the laptop does not turn on now, check the power Led of the laptop.

If the Led is off or there is no light coming out, then the question is mostly with the A/C adapter which is not working.

3. Testing the Battery

Again, the course remains practically the same as that of A/C adapter with only few microscopic changes.

1. Take out the Ac Adapter.

2. Disconnecting the external devices attached to notebook.

3. remove the Battery.

4. Press the Power button for about 25 - 35 seconds to remove any static charges.

5. Reset the battery (We are running the laptop now only with the battery and not using the A/C adapter in this case).

6. Turn on the notebook and check if it powers up.

If the notebook does not power on, then the question is with the battery. We can try to fix the issue by performing battery calibration.

Procedure to calibrate your laptop:

Shut down your notebook

Connect the A/C adapter and payment the laptop until the battery is completely charged. Some laptops do not show any color after it is expensed completely while the other notebooks show green or other color.

Restart your notebook now.

Press F8 or other key to boot into safe mode.

Now disconnect the A/C power and allow your battery to removal completely until notebook turns off. This completes the process of battery calibration for the laptop.

4. Check the Ram

If there is light or Led is on but if the laptop does not turn on try by removing and reinstalling the Ram.

This course has to be done safely and gently.

While checking for the cause of the problem, use only Ram that came with your laptop and if you have installed a Ram that you have brought it separately please remove it as this will let us know where the exact question lies since if you are using a Ram that is not compatible with the notebook, you may over these type of issues.

Note: To remove Ram or battery from your notebook, corollary the steps in the manuals of your laptop model as the steps differ for each model.

Also you may experience booting or no boot issues with your notebook when you have installed a memory module (Ram) that is incompatible with your laptop computer. Inserting a Ram each of same capacity instead of a singular Ram of high capacity would conclude the issue if you are upgrading your Ram.

5. Testing the hard disk

You may also try removing and reinstalling the hard disk as crashed hard disk can be one of the reasons for the notebook to turn on. We even have "hard disk self - test" selection in clear notebooks where these process tests if the hard disk is working or if it does not.

6. Corrupted principles files

Laptop may not turn on properly or boot into windows if the principles files are corrupted, the best way to fix this issue would be reinstall the operating principles using saving discs or performing Startup Repair.
