Laptop Not Turning On? Here Are the Real Reasons (NW London Repair Guide)

Few things are more stressful than pressing your laptop’s power button…

and nothing happens.

At FirstAidPC (Hampstead Heath • NW3), this is one of the most common issues we repair for customers across Camden, Highgate, Finchley, NW11, Kentish Town and West Hampstead.

Below are the real reasons your laptop isn’t powering on — and how we can fix it.

1. Faulty Charger or Loose Connector

The #1 cause — and the easiest fix.

Symptoms:

• No lights

• Laptop powers on only when cable is bent

• Battery not charging

Fix:

We test your charger, check voltages, and replace faulty power adapters on the spot.

2. Dead Battery

Laptop batteries wear out after 2–5 years.

Symptoms:

• Laptop only turns on when plugged in

• Shuts off suddenly

• Orange battery light flashing

Fix:

We replace batteries for all major brands (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, MacBook).

3. Damaged Power Button

If your power button is broken or unresponsive, the system won’t turn on.

Fix:

We repair or replace power buttons and internal switches.

4. Overheating Shutdown

If your laptop overheats internally, it may refuse to power back on until cooled.

Common causes:

• Dust buildup

• Faulty fan

• Old thermal paste

Fix:

We perform full inside cleaning and fan servicing.

5. Faulty RAM (Very Common Issue)

If RAM is loose or faulty, the laptop may show no display or appear dead.

Fix:

We reseat or replace RAM sticks — usually same-day.

6. Motherboard Issues

Power failures can damage circuits inside the motherboard.

Symptoms:

• No lights

• No sound

• No fan movement

Fix:

We perform component-level motherboard repair — far cheaper than full replacement.

7. Water or Liquid Damage

Spills cause short circuits that can stop a laptop from turning on.

Fix:

We professionally clean and restore liquid-damaged boards.

8. Corrupted BIOS

A bad BIOS update or sudden shutdown can corrupt startup firmware.

Fix:

We reflash BIOS chips and restore functionality.
