Solved! My computer won't start

[Ineedalotofhelp]

I dropped my toshiba leading innovation laptop from about a 3 foot drop because I fell asleep. I then picked it up and took the battery out. Now when I push the power button it just gives the low battery flashing light. Do I just need to restart it? If so how? I held the power button for a whole minute. Please help!!! I love my computer a lot. It she is quite old

If you dropped it, it may well have damaged the hard drive. It doesn't take a lot to make a laptop not work. Even a small drop can do it.

Hi there.
I assume your computer has a HDD. If so probably not much you can do. If you know how to open: first of all remove power connector and remove battery! Open back panel, remove RAM memories(do not touch on chips, GRAB on the edges) and apply white rubber on golden connectors, install again the memories. Without battery or power cable on press power button two or three times. (obviously it wont turn on!!). AFTER all this put back battery and power cable. Try to turn on normally.

If it still not turning on, replace HDD for another and try again, if turned on your HDD need to be replaced.

Hope it helps.

I realized my error! My computer had not been plugged in and so the battery was not charged. I am kind of an idiot
