General Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check the Power Supply
- Ensure that the power adapter is properly connected to your laptop and plugged into a working power outlet.

- Try using a different power outlet or a different compatible power adapter if available.
2. Perform a Hard Reset

- Press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then press the power button to try turning on the laptop again.
3. Check for Power Indicator Light
- Look for any light emitting from the charger port or power button to ensure the laptop is receiving power.
- If there are no lights, it could indicate a power supply issue or a hardware malfunction.
4. Remove All Peripheral Devices
- Disconnect all peripheral devices such as USB drives, printers, and external monitors.
- Once removed, try to power on the laptop to check if any peripheral was causing the issue.
5. Inspect for Overheating
