un able to start laptop while pressing power button

hey, poke the hole next to ram cover with small straight paper clip, it did the trick for me. Laptop booted right up.

"I was having the same issue.

Have sent it in warranty.

But there is a manual way to do it too.

On the bottom of the laptop, beside the RAM cover, there is a hole. Press the button inside by a pin, and the laptop will start for that time."

"I have dell inspiron 14r n4010. I have recently shown up with same problem. but i havnt gave up on it. just remove battery and ac connection and press hold power button for 10 to 30 s to drain out the battery then put battery on and start laptop with power button. tyr this for 3 times. I have strange ridiculous solution for my problem of black screen of death(BSOD). I have to keep trying power ON- OFF till i see dell logo.

with 10+ power on offs i can see the booting of my laptop.

Actual cause of problem unknown yet.

Initially i took latop to dell service centre they said mother board problem and it cost me rupees 14,000/- + 1365/- diagnostic charges!!!

I came home and did all initial checkups shown on youtube. finally ended up with my own solution of this as of now!!."

Its a problem of power circuit. You need to change power circuit of your laptop.

I had the same problem, but was able to fix it by simply plugging my laptop's charger in for a while; as soon as I did this I was able to power the laptop on using the power button. It seems as if a drained battery will prevent the laptop from starting up using the power button; I do not believe that a circuit or motherboard problem would cause this.

"Hi,

you needed put out your battery, than on the laptop. some times automatically refuse the battery that's reason not on the laptop."
