My Toshiba laptop won't turn on even after I took battery out and plugged in charger

Solution
You actually have to take both out and then hold the button. The instructions are below. Should it still not work, then you may want to have the laptop looked at either by the manufacturer, if under warranty, or by a local tech if not under warranty.


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.

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.
