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 :(

It helped me, my Fujitsu uhx model year 2022 was not turning on. Did all the same steps, opened the back cover disconnected the battery and then pressed the power button for 1 minute. After reconnecting the battery next power on procedure worked. Thanks.

Hi Jamin, I want to thank you a lot for your video. It saved me from a stressful situation. I plugged in the C-type USB into the HDMI plug and my laptop shorted. I tried your one minute solution. It didn’t work. I opened the laptop unplugged the battery, and then re-plugged it, and it worked, thanks a million for your video my laptop, because i am teaching physics and i need a lot of material from my laptop. For the viewers, my laptop is an Acer spin five for reference.

Thanks indeed. Type: Acer Travelmate laptop. It was completely dead. I removed the battery, pressed the power for a minute, connected the power cable without the battery. Result: It successfully powered for the first time with blue lights for 15 minutes and then stalled. But am happy because it means the battery must be replaced. Thank you again. From Mupoti in Namibia.

Thank you!!!! My Acer doesn't have a battery to remove but clearly there was built up power so when I removed the plug and clicked on the start button it switched on!!! Thank you❤

I put my type-c charger into the laptop and my screen got blanked. I watched many videos but couldnt fix it. Then i saw a comment having the same issue . Just open the laptop and unplug your battery and plug it back and switch on. It worked for me. Thanks

Hey, i have a Acer Chromebook, i got this laptop cause my grandpa was recently locked up. Ive watched a video before that helped me with the problem, same day laptop stopped working again. I set my laptop down and it just kept restarting then shut down completely.

[MaryKastner-tq]

Thank you so much. Do not have a removable battery, holding the power button for 1 minute worked. I always use it plugged into the wall, I am going to work off the battery and plug into a surge protector. Thanks so much again
