To start with, this Windows 10 Laptop used to power up fine by way of the "Lid Open Power On" setting being enabled.
Curiosity killed this cat though, because a naïve user (no names but initials are tattman23) deliberately DISABLED the lid/power option while trying to troubleshoot the actual Power button!
Major head-smacks on me I know (Homer Simpson's voice going "stupid stupid stupid...").
Anyhow, I naively hope there is a way to persuade the stupid thing to come up so I can re-enable the Lid Open Power On. The shop I went to for diagnosis, didn't know any top secret key combinations or other "hacks" to get it to spring to life. They actually diagnosed it as a "motherboard issue". I suppose that could be technically true, since replacing the power button (whatever that means) didn't work. Ironically, the only way I can disprove a "motherboard issue", is to find a way to power on!
With a huge advance of gratitude, I'm humbly looking for ideas. I know my power supply is good, and I know my battery is good and also near fully charged. The "plugged in" light does illuminate when it is plugged in. I'm almost at my lifetime quota of remove/replace the battery and poking a paper clip into the reset hole.
Before I insanely used control panel to disable the lid open/power on, my only issue was the actual power button.
Again thanks in advance,
Tatt
