Brief, practical next steps to isolate the fault (building on the thread so far): the machine showing absolutely no LEDs or charging indication after sitting unused most often narrows to four areas — the adapter, the DC jack/connector, the power-on circuitry (button/cable) or the mainboard power rails. has already tried simple power attempts and the comments from and point in the right direction; the list below gives an ordered, safe troubleshooting path and what each result typically means.

  • External checks first (no tools or only a basic meter): try a known-good compatible adapter if available; inspect the adapter cable and the barrel plug for fraying, exposed wires or a loose center pin; look at the laptop DC socket for wobble or visible damage. If the adapter has an LED, note whether it’s lit and steady when plugged in. These quick checks often catch the cheapest failures.

  • Minimal-hardware test (low risk): with power removed and battery out, remove nonessential parts (optical drive, HDD) and leave only one stick of RAM. Reseat the RAM and try powering. If you get fan spin, beep codes or any LED activity the fault is likely a peripheral or a component not being detected. No change points you toward the power-delivery side.

  • Inspect inside if comfortable: check for bulging or leaking capacitors, burn marks, or loose ribbon cables (notably the power-button board ribbon). A loose power-button cable or a failed tiny board is a common, cheap fix. If you know how to use a multimeter, check for the adapter’s label voltage at the barrel and then for the presence of the board power rails at obvious test points — absence of rails usually means a blown fuse/regulator on the motherboard.

  • When to stop and seek board repair: if the adapter is good and the DC jack and power-button wiring are intact but there are no board power rails or LEDs, this becomes a board-level repair (DC jack resolder/replacement, blown MOSFETs or regulators). That work is best left to a technician unless you’re experienced with board-level diagnostics.

Safety note: always remove mains power and battery before opening the laptop, use grounding precautions, and don’t short connectors if unsure. If any step is unclear or you want guided meter checks, add the model number and any adapter label details and someone can give exact meter targets and test-point locations.

Try powering it on without the battery plugged in, just straight from the electrical outlet. If that doesnt work, you could have a bad powersupply or bad motherboard.

thanks by the way,,

You need to test the power supply with a test meter to make sure it is putting out 19 volts.
