Resolved Question

HP Pavilion x360 won't turn on

by Jul 31, 2014 10:09AM PDT

So a guy tripped on the power cord at a coffee shop and knocked over my laptop ; now it won't turn on. The laptop charge was fully depleted (that's why I had it plugged in - probably had about 3 min of charge/use before it got knocked down on the floor) so I tried to turn on while it was still plugged in but no luck.

Before I take it to someone that charges $$$, I wanted to see if there was something that I could try.

Thanks for any info!

When you plug it in

When you plug it in, is there any indication at all that the unit is charging or getting power?

Well thanks for asking that question! At the coffee shop there wasn't any indication at two separate outlets (not that I could tell - but since you asked, I figured I'd try it again (7 hours later) and make sure what I respond here is correct. Well lo and behold, I saw an orange light as soon as I plugged in, and I pushed on the power button, and voila! It's alive!

I have no idea what happened but I'll take it...
