tonray Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Did you let the battery run down completely by not using it for several months ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would open the case and see if it's a simple as a loose connector. Youtube likely has a vid of teardown of your model so you can see where the battery is and how difficult it may be to access.

longball53098 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Try another power adapter, If the laptop battery is dead and no output from adapter you are dead in the water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgw Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 test the charger to see if it delivers the necessary voltage. if not, there are repair shops which can fix the laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss1960 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Take your machine to a computer shop where people can do actual diagnostics, instead of asking for internet best guesses. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Mickmanus Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I bought cheap 13 000 Baht Lennova laptop and after one year it just died , not reaction when I tried to switch it on .

Try holding down the power button for a full minute with power cord not plugged in,this should drain the battery completely then connect the power cord and try booting it up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fugitive Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Same problem this week myself with a used ACER dating from 2009. Fortunately, was only the power supply/charger. Swapped it for a power supply from an even older laptop which fortunately had the same connector (Compaq from 2005). If possible try to get hold of another power supply to test before going to a repair shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
