Thread: I think I need a new laptop battery

1: Take out the battery and try to turn your machine on. If it is still dead wait before getting a new battery.

2: If possible try another AC adapter to eliminate the possibility of a faulty adapter.

3: If it still won't start, can you see any LED's lit? If not you have probably broken the DC socket where the the adapter plugs in (my expert opinion )

4: If you do have an LED lit and it won't start check the RAM modules are still properly secured in their slots as this can sometimes prevent startup on some models. Plug in an external monitor to check it isn't a screen fault, you may have to use the FN button and function buttons on the top row of your keyboard to switch from your laptop screen to your external monitor.

5: If your still in trouble you may have to call a repair dude or dudette.
