Did you leave it run out of battery? Cause if so then you might have fried it. Just like i did

Ya. Now what should i do

Just letting the battery run out of power won't fry it or the laptop.

Webworkings that's how I fried my laptop. That's why I was saying it. I know that you're an expert. I'm just saying what happened to me.


I guess you should by a new laptop now man. If you think that it might be the battery then remove the battery and put the power plug. If it turns on then you need a new battery. If not then there might be a problem with the motherboard or something. If it's still under warranty they might replace it. But I guess it's not since it's quite old. Not worth repairing anyways :/.

Fortunately electronics don't usually die all of a sudden, you must have a history to tell and withholding information. New laptop to you? what REALLY happened to it?

already tried turning it on without battery

 

[webworkings]

Then it could be both a dead battery and/or a dead charger. Some laptops will not run if they do not have a functioning battery in them. So I would start there. Replace the battery. And I would really suggest not getting an aftermarket one. They can be problematic.

Now, if you don't want to go buying things just to see if that is the issue, then I suggest trying a local tech.

when i plug it in and check with a tester current is flowing

 

[webworkings]

You tested the battery itself and it is getting and releasing power?

when plugged in

Not what I asked. Is the battery holding and releasing power on its own? Not when the charger is connected. If it isn't, then I stand by the replace the battery.
