My laptop just completely stopped working. Help?

Was it like this?

If your laptop plugged in? Maybe the battery ran out?

Are you at least getting to the BIOS? The screen of black with white text? If you aren’t it is sounding like a hardware failure.

Like @erichw1504 said. I would start with the battery and AC adapter.

No, no blue screen(s), not even BIOS.
I always have it connected with A/C, and i checked it if is plugged.
It always is, so no changes there.
I did unplug and plug it again, but to no avail.

Hard drive exploded?

@erichw1504 do HDs explode? I’ve never heard of that.

Try taking the battery out for a few minutes, then put it back in and switch on.

Sometimes the cord/transformer just goes bad. My sister has been through two of them in as many years. It might not be actually sending a charge. But if the HD was bad you should still be able to get to the BIOS.

@johnpowell I guess that could make sense since it stops immediately, ‘as if the power gets interrupted’.
I will visit a PC shop one of these days, for now i will Fluther by phone.
Thanks!

Do you have a multimeter? If you don’t I would take the adapter to a computer shop. It will take ten seconds to see if it is outputting the proper voltage and they will probably do it for free.

Good advice @johnpowell , i will do that.

It does sound like it’s not getting past basic power-up self-tests. If your power supply is ok, unplug it all and re-seat the RAM or any other removable parts.
