Battery power the orange light come on the bolt then in 5 second it turn off

SOURCE: I can not get the laptop to boot up. It will not

Hello agasmier,

You may either clean the CMOS port or change the CMOS battery itself.

If you're not techie or if my answer sounded gibberish, a visit to a local technician might be a safe advice, just for good measure.

Hope this helps.

Hi DD,
Does the cursor blink on the screen before turn off?
There could be several causes for your PC's problem.The major ones though are:-

1. A virus invasion of your PC.
2. Your Operating System/boot log has corrupted.

• Check the RAM[s] and make sure they are properly seated in their slots.Your Notebook has 2 memory slots under the keyboard positioned one on top of the other.The expansion slot is the one on top of the primary memory slot.Access them by flipping over the laptop and unscrewing the back cover.There in the middle is the only compartment housing the RAM[s] and the PC's CMOS battery.Unscrew.Remove the RAM[s],clean their slots and the fix them again making sure they properly fit.
• Check the hard disks power supply.Disconnect it and re-connect it again.
