[How to Fix – HP Laptop Won't Turn On / Freezes Or Shuts Off at Start Up / No Power Repair
THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN UPDATED HERE:
For a computer that wont start, shuts off or freezes during start-up, start your troubleshooting process here! This video tests for the most common reasons why a computer wont start by testing your Battery, Charger/Adapter, and if your laptop has a Static Build-up. If these tests do not identify the issue, then troubleshoot deeper into the computer. Move on to the BIOS Reset as seen here; If that fails, then test your Power Adapter as seen here; and then your Power Jack as seen here; If all those tests do not reveal the issue, then your most likely looking at a Motherboard replacement.

FAQ’s
Q: I have to perform this static discharge every time for my computer to turn on 🙁
A: Your most likely looking at a bad charger or battery then. Also, make sure that your using a surge protector instead of plugging your charger directly into the outlet. Make sure its healthy and still working well. If thats not it, you can try replacing the battery and charger one at a time till you find the one that is the cause.
Q: I dont have a battery thats easily removable 🙁
A: For help accessing an internal battery, refer to this video;
If you know your computer’s model number, I can help you get inside your specific computer 🙂
Q: My computer is overheating and wont turn on. Will this help?
A: So to troubleshoot a computer that wont turn on, I would usually say to start with this video. However, an overheating computer can damage multiple components, make multiple components act in weird ways, and therefor makes it very hard to troubleshoot which components are the cause of the computer not turning on. You should try to address the overheating first. You can see that process here;
Q: Why does this power build-up issue happen? How can I prevent it?
A: Make sure your using your computer plugged into a surge protector and not directly into the wall. Also, make sure to not use your computer around large sources of static like in bed, on pillows, etc. Repair tech wear anti-static bracelets when working on computer or put the on anti-static pads. Even though the computer case means you dont have to go that far, try not to use the computer around heavy static sources.
Q: I tried this and it didnt work
A: These are troubleshooting steps. Not magic fixes unfortunately. If none of these troubleshooting steps were able to identify the parts being tested as the issue, then you have identified the Motherboard as the most likely cause of the computer not starting. It would then have to be replaced or repaired. Let me know if you would like assistance with that operation 🙂
