Try to clear any debris, use a little bit of silicone spray to free up the button, if that fails remove the cover and check the switch that's under the button. Sometimes the plastic button will break , wear out , that activates the switch underneath and doesn't "spring" back when pushed in, not resetting.

Simply won't turn on. All the power at the plug has current but nothing when you push the on button.

Gary, Could be power supply failure. Links below for trouble shooting your problem.

Depends what you mean by frozen... could you clarify a bit more on the problem. Won't boot, drive errors... If you mean the notebook is stuck ON and you can't turn if OFF holding down the power button for several seconds will force it off.

My Dell Inspiron B130 won't turn on. The battery light blinks yellow twice then green, but that is the only thing happening.

Hi,
Take the battery off completely and drain the flea power from the laptop by holding down the power button while the battery is off. Hold down the power button for about 15-20 seconds to ensure no power remains on the laptop. Check if your battery has a drain button too. Drain the battery and place it back on the laptop.
Charge it for about 30 minutes before you turn it on. See if it works.
Post here if you need further help.

Toshiba Satellite C655-S5082. Won't power on. Worked fine last night. Today it won't turn on. Plug it it and no power light. With power cord plugged in when I push the power button the light for...

Hi.

Take out the AC power jack and then remove the laptop battery. Plug AC power back in and see if the laptop will turn on. If it turns on let it boot the operating system and then shut down as normal, remove the power cord and reinsert the battery and again see if it will switch on. If it does then there has been a glitch with the battery. If it doesn't then there is a problem with the battery.

If the laptop won't switch on either with or without the battery then there is a possibility that the motherboard has developed a problem.


Good luck.

My dell vostro 2510 won't power on, when i press power button to turn on the pc , the power light turn on for about 5 sec then it turn off itself,

Try this to see if can give us some codes with it's on board diagnostics. Hold down the function button of your laptop and then the power button while still holding down the Fn/Function button on the left side of the keyboard. See if this gives you either an error message on your screen or, flashing lights above your keyboard. Pay attention, write down what lights where lit up what ones flashed, etc. This is to diagnose if the LCD isn't working. Comment back if you get either the light code or the error code on the screen. IF nothing happens try holding the Fn/Function button on the left side of keyboard and holding the F4 button, see if that makes any lights flash above your keyboard.

Laptop stuck in sleep / hibernate mode??

Try holding the power button down for at least 10 seconds, that should turn off the laptop completely. Then press the power button again to turn it on. Hopefully it will boot up.
