hakeem5454 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Just last night i was using my laptop and it was completely fine. This morning when i went to go turn it on, it started up then shut down and i also couldnt see anything. the screen was black. Now it keeps doing this: starts up, shuts down right away. Still cant see anything as well.Whats wrong??

CoffeeFiend Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 This may seem like a stupid question... But was it plugged in?May seem like one, but was the answer to so many problems I've seen over the years. Like someone asking why a printer won't print, when it's out of paper (or printer is off-line)...
hakeem5454 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Yes it was plugged in, and no not even the bios screen. It stays blank the whole time?
ripken204 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 where do you store this laptop? how is the weather right now where you are?i had a very odd problem last summer when we had 99% humidity and i needed to use some laptops outside.both of them would not boot, but when i brought them into an air conditioned room they would work fine..
hakeem5454 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah its being used inside in a cool place..so weather or heat is definitely not the issue i dont think.
ripken204 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Plug in an external monitor.assuming the panel is dead, yes.do the keyboard lights come on at all?plug in a usb mouse, does that light up at all?turn your sound on full blast to see if it reaches the login for windows.
cluberti Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Otherwise, failing all that, you've got a laptop that's likely dead. Either the CPU is dead, or the power brick is dying, etc - if it's not old, consider warranty repair/replacement. If it is old, break out the piggy bank and get something shiny and new .
