When your laptop won't turn on, it could be something simple like a dead battery or bad charger, or something more serious like a motherboard failure. I diagnose the exact cause at your home and give you honest options.
Here's my typical approach:
Check the power adapter and charging port
Test the battery and power circuitry
Perform a hard reset to clear stuck states
Check for display issues (screen vs power problem)
Run hardware diagnostics if the laptop powers on
Give honest advice — repair vs replace
