Computer Help Pls!

My friend's son just dropped her lap top and now it won't turn on.

Can it be fixed? Anything she could try to get it working tonight?

She's pretty upset, obviously.

try dropping it again, it might turn on by itself and shut down by itself again

The drop test is one of the first steps in any kind of technical support.

Thanks for the "help" guys.

will it not power up at all? Or is the screen dead?

It will not power up at all.

try taking off the battery and putting it back on with the adapter plugged in usually works for me

Theres a very good chance that it won't be turning on any time soon, sounds like a job for the Geek Squad. (Best Buy)

Only if she doesn't want to turn the computer on for 3 months.

My roommate got it to work by hitting the reset button.

Thanks all!

I can't wait for the first Nerf laptop.

I can't wait for the first Nerf laptop.

For that you will need to do a soft reset.

Thanks all!

And where exactly is this button located?

I didn't realize laptops had reset buttons.
