Good prompt by to start with history and simple checks. For readers who find a Satellite C660 (or a similar laptop) completely unresponsive, the following short, safe checklist often isolates the problem quickly. Record any LED blink patterns, fan noise, or beeps — those details make remote diagnosis far more effective.

  • Do a power reset: remove AC and battery, press and hold the power button 15-30 seconds, reconnect AC (leave battery out) and try to start.
  • Reduce to minimum hardware: unplug all USB devices, remove optical/HDD if easy, then try to power with only CPU, one RAM stick and integrated video (if applicable).
  • Reseat memory: remove modules, clean contacts, try one stick in each slot to rule out a bad DIMM or socket.
  • External display test: attach a monitor via VGA/HDMI to rule out a failed internal panel or inverter.
  • Inspect the DC jack and adapter: look for looseness or damage; if possible, verify adapter voltage with a multimeter.
  • Preserve data: if the laptop stays dead but the drive looks intact, remove the SATA drive and connect it to another PC with a USB-SATA adapter to copy files.
  • Warranty/safety note: do not open the case if the unit is under warranty. Use antistatic precautions and avoid force when touching connectors.

If these steps do not help, collect model/serial, exact symptoms (LED patterns, beeps, fan behavior) and contact an authorised service point or post the specifics here for targeted help.

Can you offer some history? Was it working perfectly before it stopped working? I assume that you plugged it in; are you sure the charger is working? Did you recently drop it, or trip/pull on power cord? ...

There a lot of things that can cause a notebook to not start, so giving us some background may help lead us to the most likely cause.
