How to Troubleshoot: The ‘Laptop Will Not Turn On’ Issue

by

If your laptop doesn’t turn on or doesn’t start after you turn it on, there are several ways to solve the problem. Below are troubleshooting steps to help you find the cause of your laptop not turning on. For best results, we recommend that you follow each of these steps.

Why won’t my laptop turn on?

There are many possible reasons why your laptop doesn’t turn on. It could be a problem with the power supply, the laptop screen, the battery, or even a faulty component on the motherboard.

How do you fix a laptop that won’t turn on?

Perform a system restore

  1. Get to the Advanced Options window.
  2. Then select the System Restore option in the Advanced Options window.
  3. Then enter your account password.
  4. Use the saved restore point on your computer to return Windows 10 to its previous normal state.
  5. Reboot your Windows 10 computer/laptop and check if it turns on properly.

Check the power supply, laptop charger, and battery

  1. You can first check if the power switch is on, if you are using an extension cord, and if the laptop charger is plugged in.
  2. Try unplugging the laptop and plugging it back in. You can also plug the laptop directly into an outlet to reboot it.
  3. Make sure you plug the laptop charger into the right port on your computer.
  4. Replace another compatible, working laptop charger cable and see if that solves the problem.
  5. You can also try removing the battery from the laptop and plugging it directly into a power source.
  6. If your Windows 10 computer can boot normally, your laptop battery may be faulty; you can replace a new laptop battery.

Check your laptop’s monitor

If your computer has power but won’t turn on, check your laptop monitor first. Sometimes a bad UPS can be the cause of the monitor problem. You can replace the UPS to see if the problem can be resolved. read more

Troubleshooting: `The AC power adapter type cannot be determined`

by

To easily solve this ‘The AC power adapter type cannot be determined’ problem, you will need another original charger with the correct voltage/amperage.

First, try using a new Dell power adapter. If that doesn’t solve the problem, replace the power plug. And in the unlikely event that it’s not the adapter or plug, replace the motherboard.

Why is your ‘AC power adapter type cannot be determined’?

As the error message implies, this means that your computer cannot detect the connected charger. The power connector has 3 pins, 2 are power and ground and the third is a signal line for identifying the power supply as a compatible device (Dell). If the laptop does not receive the signal, the power supply cannot charge the battery, but it can power the laptop. This protects the battery from high currents if the charger power is higher than the manufacturer’s specification. If you ignore this message, system performance will decrease and you will notice that your CPU clock speed has halved. read more
