hello my friend's laptop dell is not switching on but it indicates a white light when i put it on charge.

what can cause this problem?
 
Solution
No fan? That is extremely odd. They all have fans to help keep them cool. If a fan/fans were removed, then this would have allowed it to over heat. Which could have fried any number of components. They may want to have it looked at by a tech to see if it is even worth repairing.
NOTE: Yes, I know some batteries are not so easy to get to, on some devices. However, it should be removable/replaceable. Unless it is under warranty, then you should contact the manufacturer first.


Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, then I would try a local tech.
