Dead Battery
The most simple culprit of a laptop that won’t turn on is a dead battery. There is an easy way to test this hypothesis. Plug your device into the wall with an AC adapter. If it boots up at this point, you know that it’s a battery issue. You will require a new battery in order to run it as a typical laptop.
External Devices
Sometimes the culprit of a non-booting laptop is an external device. This can be a USB drive, fire wire, wireless mouse, and even a cd in the drive. Make sure everything is disconnected and hold the power button. If it still does not turn on, you probably have a more serious problem on your hands and will require professional assistance.
Software Failure
It’s not always faulty hardware that causes a laptop not to turn on. Sometimes it’s the software itself that is frozen. This is more common with Windows than Mac but can happen on either device type. One way to test it is by doing a “hard reset” of your laptop. You MUST unplug your AC adapter and remove all power sources from your device. You can then turn it over and remove the battery. Hold the power button for about 15 seconds. Reconnect power and battery and try to turn it on normally.
