FAQ's:
Q: Does this video apply to my issues?
A: This video is for computers with no signs of life that appear 'dead'. It will also help if you see minimal signs of life such as lights only or some hard drive / fan sounds but they stop right a way. If you are able to see anything on the screen at any point or if the hard drive / fan sound remain on, your issue could be something else. Leave me a message with your exact symptoms and I can direct you to the correct video :)

Q: I have tried all the steps seen here without identifying the issue :(

Q: The computer will only turn on when the charger is plugged in.
A: If your computer will only turn on when the charger is plugged in after all these steps, then I would next try to replace the battery as its most likely bad. Let me know if you would like assistance finding a compatible battery replacement :)

hello, have a question regarding replacing keycaps, have seen several of your older videos and i followed, but for some reason when i tap on the upper half part of the key, the lower half of the key just snaps back up. the metal hooks in the keyboard doesn't seem to be broken either, so i'm very confused as to why its loose. do you perhaps have any idea?

Hi can you please help. My laptop was working fine with charger connected for like 7 hours. After unplugging charger i noticed its low battery light blinking and laptop closed. I was in the middle of transferring data via command prompt and notepad due to corrupted windows. Now my laptop doesnt charge nor turn on. No charging lights. What can i do? Have done all the static removal steps

Hello, can you assist me with some issues I am having with my gateway computer.

My problem is that when ever I turn it on it is always on the start up gateway icon and never loads anything else.
Another problem i have is that whenever I have my charger unplugged even for a second it shuts off. (I don't know why that is too)

I don't know what to do pls help.
