How to Fix a Laptop Screen That Won't Turn On

Forced Shutdown Method

If your laptop is frozen due to a temporary error, forcing a shutdown and rebooting can resolve the issue.

Steps to Force Shutdown

1. Hold down the Shift key on the left side of the keyboard while pressing and holding the power button until the power light turns off. This takes about 10 to 20 seconds.

2. Once the laptop is completely off, press the power button again to turn it back on.


Remove Battery and Use AC Adapter Only

This method involves removing the laptop's battery and trying to power it on with just the AC adapter connected.

Steps to Remove Battery and Power On

1. Turn the laptop over and locate the battery. Remove the battery by unlocking the latches on either side of the battery and sliding it out. Each model may vary, so refer to your laptop's manual if needed.

2. After removing the battery, do not reinsert it. Instead, connect only the AC adapter.

3. Press the power button to turn on the laptop. If the laptop powers on, you can shut it down properly, reinsert the battery, and turn it on again.


Soft RTC Reset Method

Recent laptops use an internal battery and lack an emergency battery cutoff hole, so a Soft RTC Reset is needed. This method is similar to removing the CMOS battery.

Definition of Soft Reset

A soft reset has the effect of resetting the device by removing the RTC battery or the main battery. If a soft reset does not work or is not possible, professional technician assistance is required.

Applicable Models

  • Supported on Intel platforms only (not supported on Qualcomm or AMD platforms)
  • Applicable to laptops released from 2016 to present

Soft Reset for Models Released After 2023 (13th Gen CPU)

1. Force shutdown the laptop and disconnect the power adapter.

2. Press and hold [Fn] + [F1] + [Left Arrow Key (◀)] simultaneously while pressing the [Power Button]. (Simulates battery removal and reinsertion)

3. If the soft reset is executed successfully, the activity light will blink red five times and then turn off.

4. Connect the power adapter to the laptop.

5. Press the power button to turn on the laptop. The LED may blink blue for about 1 to 3 minutes until the screen turns on. Do not force shutdown during this time.
