We had a power surge. Tried to start up Toshiba laptop by holding down start button but it won't come on. Tried taking battery out, and disconnecting all power. The power button won't even light up. All back together. Still wont start up. Suggestions please before I have to get my tech guy?

Hello,

I have bad news for you.

Sorry but if the lap was not connected through a power bar with surge protection, your motherboard fried.

Only a qualified hand-on technician can see to the issue.

Thanks for suggestions. Couldn't wait. Rang my tech guy, explained to him, and he suggested the power pack could be the problem. Sure enough, after the computer guys tested it, bought a new power pack - we're back on track again.
PS I did have it connected thru a surge power board, so maybe that protected it to a certain extent.

Laptop does not start, power LED blinks 3 times and stops.

My dell inspiron 3537 is not starting up. It blinks the power LED 3 times and then the power LED stops blinking and stays on.

It is not showing the charger when I plug it in.
I have tried starting up by removing the battery and using just the charger, the problem stays. Since the power LED blinks when I'm on just charger mode, I don't think there is any problem with the charger.

Please help.

Hello,

I bought an LG Gram at Costco back in August. It's worked pretty much fine, and I used it on a trip just over a month ago with no issues (on Nov 5-7). I set it to charge via USB-C and that's worked fine, even the time I let my laptop die and recharged it via USB-C.

I haven't used my laptop since Nov 5-7. Yesterday, I opened my laptop and pressed the power button. Nothing happened.

I plugged in my Anker USB-C charger, the same one I used before, and the charging LED blinked once. The power button light blinks 3 times, as do the F5 and F9 keys. The keyboard will sometimes flash and then go dark.

I figured the laptop was just d...
