Bought a brand new laptop two weeks ago for the fall semester, put it on my nightstand last night without shutting it off, went to use it today and no lights, no noise, nothing. I followed this video and I have my laptop back and running! You saved my whole college career! I had already called multiple techs who wanted to charge me $40-75 just to diagnose. I'm so thankful for this video!!
After testing the battery, power cord, and jack, I had two "professionals" nearly convince me to replace the motherboard. After doing a bit of research, I stumbled across your video and... voila... computer is up and running. Nice fix... saved me hundreds of dollars for parts/labor. Thank you.
Dell is actually one of the better brands, but if you bought an laptop for $3-400 every brand is shit. You just need to spend more for a good laptop. For instance look at the dell xps 15 series. They cost arround $1600-2400 but have the specs of a MSI of $800-1000. That extra money you are paying is going to services you wont have and extra quality. MSI laptops will break in 2-3 years and my dell xps that I have is already running 5 years good and is still very sturdy. No broken hinges whatsoever.
This would be the second time I have to return this laptop!! It was a Christmas present for my daughter. Gave it a second chance but we’re at square one again!!!! Going now to return it and buying something else!!!! Thank you dell, for only frustrations, and wast of our times!!!
You made my day. I took out the battery, held down the power button, used timer for 30 secs, let go of the power button. Put on the battery. Now I can turn on the laptop.
This absolutely fixed the problem. Worked like a charm. The only challenge I had was removing/unplugging the battery as I had to apply a lot of force and was not sure if I would make things worse.
I am so very grateful to you! Thanks a million like! Dropped my laptop while trying to set my son up with one of my old phones, as he broke his. We were soaked to the skin after coming back from a very wet and cold beach walk. (It’s March, in Ireland) Found your brilliant video and all fixed! Thanks so so much. An Irish Mammy and her son will sleep very well tonight! 😂❤
It worked! Thank you! I called the Geek Squad tech support and they told me to do it for 10 seconds and nothing happened. You said hold it for 30 seconds and it worked! THANK YOU!
Omg thank you sir I really appreciate this I got a new laptop after breaking my other one so I got this for my 13th and tonight it stopped working not even a month after I got it I was so happy when it turned on so thank you so so much ur a life saver
Holy Sh**! I didnt think this would work, best buy geek squad said they would have to send it out for 2 weeks and it would be $100-$300 to fix. Well it worked and only took 3-5 minutes! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I owe you multiple beers/wine/drink of your choice. Just replaced the keyboard on my latitude 7390 and it wouldn't power up. Found your video and now I'm back in business. Thanks
This actually worked, thank you for saving me time and money. I pay $1000 for a Dell G3 laptop just 2 months ago and I already am having problems, I really need to say away from Dell.
Wow this actually worked. I have a G7 and for no reason, when I turned on my laptop, the white power LED light lit up for like 10 seconds and then turned off. Screen was blank the whole time and there was no noise coming from the laptop. Did this and it worked. Thanks so much for the help.
I don’t usually leave RU-vid comments but am leaving this one to let you all know that this worked for me and my Dell G3 gaming laptop! Would recommend following the steps in this video before taking next steps.
This worked for me on the first attempt with a new, three-week old, Dell Inspiron 5591 laptop. Disconnect power cable, remove the 9 silver screws carefully and note where they came from because there are different lengths. Carefully unsnap the back-cover. Two black screws hold down the battery and they need to be removed too. Carefully slide the flat battery connector out of the connector on the motherboard. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds to discharge the system. Re-insert the battery connector and screw the battery back down. They snap the cover back on and the 9 screws. Make sure not to over tighten. Insert power cable and power on the laptop.
So glad I ran across this as it worked like a charm!! Thank you for saving me money I don’t have to spend on extra these days. God bless you for sharing.
Brilliant! Just holding down the power button for 30 seconds brought it back to life for me, without taking out the battery. Mine is left on continuously and had not been used for 3 days straight, due to the holiday. Thank you!
Same problem. With your help I've managed to fix my laptop, Dell Vostro - Model P24F. I thought that it's motherboard was roasted and I was ready to disassemble the laptop. But fortunately I found your tutorial and was very helpful. Thank you very much !!!
BB, thanks for posting this! My Inspiron 11 3000 would not power up. I removed the battery & held the power switch for 30 secs. Works perfectly! I left the battery out b/c I've seen many issues with laptop batteries in the past. Lots of negative comments here about Dell; I've had nothing but good experiences...
first of all, thank you very much! I finally fixed my dell. However, I have some suggestion. Could you next time outline the steps you gonna take? I followed along the video until I finally realize that I just needed to take out the battery and then press and then wait. And my Dell has detachable battery, which mean I don't have to disassemble my laptop...
I had the same problem and I looked on dell's forum and found something that worked for me. My laptop booted up and turned off but you could still see the lights flickering. What you want to do is to remove the battery, turn in the laptop, if the lights are on even without the battery it means that your power supply is running fine. Open the back cap of your laptop and then locate the ram, if you want to you can also locate the hard drive. Remove either the HD or the ram or both and then reput them back in (make sure the ram is installed properly) what you will want to do is to reput the battery and start the laptop, everything should work. It did for me
Had a similar problem and disconnecting the battery didnt fix it. In the end I disconnected the CMOS battery, held the power button down for 15 sec and then reconnected and this fixed it. Had to reset the settings (date, time, boot, etc) but all good now
I had a laptop down for 6 months. The computer decided not to boot. No no KB lights and nothing on the screen. I did have blinking lights on the front of the laptop. I had purchased a warranty at the time of purchase from Amazon and had filed a claim. I was not able to work on it until today. I had sensitive data on the laptop. I followed the example in this video and the laptop started to turn on. Thank you.
this was the solution, with the help of this video had my computer running again in about 15 minutes, just to clarify because in the midlle of my computer crisis, I missed it. The battery must be unplugged before the power is pressed for 30 secs. Thank you so much for the instructions....good luch out there!
Still doesn't work. After I plug it in, there is no LED indication, and when I hold the power button it makes the fan sound but no LED and the screen still doesn't turn on. It was working just fine last night.
Thanks buddy. You just save my sister from a very big problem. I don't know how many computer repair shops just do this easy trick and earns a lot...😀😀
It worked! I'm amazed. Not sure why you have to move battery because it's still connected. But I followed your instruction and it worked beautifully. Thank you very much.
This video was excellent! Fixed my problem in about 10 minutes. And that was after I spoke to a "Techie" at Staples who had no clue what to do - or even try! Thank you very much for the advice.
This helped my same laptop turn on again. The problem is that when I turn it off and try using again later I have to redo everything again. It's a pain, anything I can do? Why do I need to keep doing this over?
Keyboard and power button of my Dell laptop suddenly stopped working. Minute later everything just stopped working. I wasn't able to remove battery, but I did remove the internal cable and done trick with 30 seconds of pressing the power button. And after reattaching the battery cable laptop started working. Not sure what happened but it helped. Thanks a lot man!!
Also try taking out the CMOS battery if just the normal battery doesn't fix your problem. It might be located on the motherboard depending on the Dell model. Google a diagram before you try.
Cmos battery won't affect boot up. It just trickles pwr to the bios chip and keeps your clock on time which is the clue you need a cmos batt. when the clock is wrong after every time charger is unplugged.
For me, your suggestion (which I knew already from the Dell website) worked only once. What helped with my Latitude 6430u was to re-install the most recent BIOS (which was already installed).
@@NightyFall I tried many times and when it started (after maybe about 30 attempts) I installed the BIOS. However, in the meantime the laptop doesn't start at all, therefore, I bought a new notebook (not a Dell).
Hi can someone help...I opened my Dell inspiron 15 se to clean up the fan area and I then re assembled it...after that tried to switch it on is not happening
worked great!!! I was gna try that 1st but rule of thumb, i always do a quick search on the model and symptoms to see if its a common problem or issue with the specific model and/or series!!!!
Bro I was about to dismantle my laptop, when u mentioned to make sure the charger was working, bro my charger was not properly plugged, there, have a well deserved like 😂😂😂
Thank you so much, your tutorial worked perfectly! Just out of interest, what is a cause of this problem and howcome it gets solved by this? Thank you once again.
I have to say I was very skeptical of this but it worked wonderfully on my dell XPS 14 l421x ultrabook. After reading numerous amount of comments on Forums this was a life saver. And I love cars ;)
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 and I tried plugging in to a new outlet and the charger works on other PC but the charger light goes out when I plug it into the windows 10 Inspiron 15 computer HELP please
Stolen Rhymes interesting. Mine would do the same thing. I put my charger in, the charging light went out after a couple of seconds. I bought a new charger and boom. Fixed.
Boost Book When messed up My computer shut off instantly and I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't like I think it had like 30% battery left do you think the computer fried
No I don't think the computer is fried. Start with a new charger, or use a friend's charger who may have the same kind, if not that, then it may be the battery. Still think it's the charger though
