Answer 1

the first things are to establish with the manufacturer if the unit has had a major component failure or is its just a fuse that has blown.



ok heat and heat dissipation?

ok science 101, electrons that flow through a conductor (wire) have a nasty habit of creating heat radiation or radians.



the dissipation is via a medium such as gas, in the (atmosphere) or air, so, the system is then reliant on the ability to keep the components in a tolerance that is equal to what the component will withstand.



a laptop has a typical radial fan the air is sucked in and then accelerated to the provide a cooling effect on a radiator or (heat sink) but sometimes the amount of heat cannot dissipate enough, or the room temp is so high that the unit no matter how much the fan runs cannot keep up.



a cooler pad, has a fan and a trough or is some times called a well, the air is then pre-cooled and under pressure, to act as an extra means to control the air temperature in that the exponent value of the mass of gas allows the dissipation without the over use of the single fan.



this in turn helps to keep the components in there tolerances.

Answer 2

You should always use your laptop on a FLAT surface, such as a table or desk. It's also good to have a laptop fan to help give it even more cooling. Putting it on your bed or on your lap restricts air flow so it can't cool off and when it can't cool off... things will stop working.Any number of things could have happened, but if I had to make a guess I would say the motherboard.



You need to contact your computer's company's tech service and see if they can diagnose the problem. A lot of companies nowadays have online chat tech service so you will have an easier time understanding and remembering what you're told as you diagnose your computer. Although it may SEEM like your computer can't come on at all there are usually "tricks" that you press or type in in order to re-activate so your computer can tell you itself what's wrong.



Hopefully you're still under a warranty.



It'd also help if you mentioned what type of computer you had. Although I take very good care of my laptop (XPS M1330 from Dell) I recently had to have the motherboard replaced due to a manufacturing problem on their part. Because it was a widely-known problem they had extended the warranties on all computers with it so my motherboard was replaced for free. It was also replaced in seriously TWO DAYS.

Answer 3

Dont worry, It could be various reasons that why your computer is not turning back on.



Motherboards do come with strong resistence. Since your computer was turned off, and your main power supply was inserted to battery, its more likely a problem with the battery.



Normally, the batteries get heated up very quickly, what I believe is that your Laptop is bit old, so you might needed to replace the battery anyway, since its life must have gone.



Good luck..

Answer 4

it sounds like the fan stopped working and it cooled off and the power protecter [charger port] come loose so you not get any charge to battery no charge means no work

Answer 5

Never use a lap top on a soft surface like pillows or bedding it can block the cooling vents. Buy and use a lap top cooling pad with built in fans that connect to a USB port. I use the Targus and GearHead lap top cooling pad and never use one of my lap tops with out a cooling pad.

Answer 6

you need to elvate it make sure the fans that cool it down have space to circulate air so turn it off and let it cool down then stick somthing under its to elavate it like a peice of card board or somthing even 2 paper clips will work i had a laptop that did the same thing try that get the air flowing to its compoent

Answer 7

if the computer turns on its not the motherboard so it might just been the charger port. something is burnt on that.



though i'm assuming you cant turn it on because you ran the battery out.

so i would say it's the charger port.

Answer 8

You should have the fan on always and it raised at the back.A newspaper

or mag does.To let air under it.

Answer 9

you can buy a laptop cooling pad thingy... it has a few fans, made of plastic, and you place it under your laptop and its only like an inch thick and it cools the bottom of your laptop, you can buy them for

like $20 at any electronics store like best buy or target maybe walmart...



good luck works great.

Answer 10

You've probably fried the motherboard - laptops, despite their name, are not designed to be used on the lap - they need airflow beneath them.

Answer 11

TAKE IT TO A COMPUTER GUY...HE'LL TELL U WHAT'S WRONG WITH UR COMPUTER/LAPTOP..
