Answer

My laptop is not turning on — what should I do?

First try a 30-second power drain (remove battery + adapter, hold power button). If still dead, it's most often adapter, RAM or motherboard power circuit — bring it for free diagnosis.

A laptop that won't power on has three main causes in order of frequency: (1) dead adapter — verify the brick's LED and try a matching one; (2) loose or bad RAM — re-seat sticks; (3) motherboard power-circuit failure — often the SIO or charging IC, which requires chip-level repair (₹3,999+ at HOPE Systems). Perform a hard reset first: unplug adapter, remove battery if removable, hold the power button for 30 seconds, then reconnect. If no life, book a free diagnosis.
