Laptop died. When I turn it on, the power light comes on and turns off.
My laptop just died as I came back from school. I took the battery out and had it unplugged. I waited a minute or so, in this time I pressed the power button to drain whatever energy was left in the circuitry and after I just flipped it back over and placed the battery back in. As i tried to turn it on, the green light came on but only for a second and turned off again.
I think you have a failed power adapter. Apparently, the power adapter died while you were using the laptop. The laptop worked until the battery had charge and finally shut off.
Now the laptop will not turn on because the battery is empty and the power adapter doesn’t provide any power at all. That’s why the green power light comes on only for a second.
Test your power adapter with a multimeter to confirm the failure. Alternatively, you can test the laptop with another known good adapter.

Mick,
I think there could be a problem with the video cable.

Hi, I have a Del Latitude 505. The battery no longer holds a charge for more than just a few minutes so I always run it from mains power. Recently it has started making one or more loud beeps and then, without me doing anything, either prepares for stand by and goes into that mode or just shuts down. In order for it then to start again, I seem to have to ‘wiggle’ the cable which plugs into the back of the laptop to regain connection to the power supply. Could it just be a faulty power socket connection in the back of the laptop? And if so, can I take the laptop apart and repair it myself?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Regards, Allen

Hello. I have an HP ze1000. A while back the power jack broke off and the wires shorted to the motherboard. I purchased a new board with the same codes on it, but the laptop wont start. The power light flashes and fan kicks on for about a second, but then shuts down. I’ve tried swapping RAM locations, starting without hard drive, with or without battery, with 2 different power supplies, with and without display attached. No beeps either. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!!!

Hi,
My Toshiba M45-S2692 laptop was 4.5 years old. Few months ago it got the problem that you cannot restart it immediately, you had to wait like half an hour or more but I could live with it anyway. That problem was a hardware/software problem because when I reinstalled win xp it was fine till I installed some drivers and other softwares. Anyway last week I boot it up, it was working for like 15 minutes and then it freezed and I shut it down. Since then when I try to power it up, the power light goes on, it starts booting and after 2 seconds it’s off! I tried this with and without battery and even without HDD and RAM but the same things happen even after 48 hours wait! Any suggestion?
Thanks
