Is it charged up properly.
Have you put everything back properly?
If it was hot a connection error between the monitor and the motherboard may have occurred. If the problem does not fix itself (Theres every chance it may do) take it to your local tech store.

Take out your battery and let it cool down.

You shouldn't keep the battery in constantly, it gets it really hot and damages it. So a few times a week or something just use your laptop via the charger and give the battery a rest. :P

In all my years of using computers and laptops I have never heard this or carried it out, if the battery is getting hot on a laptop then you need to get that checked out by the manufacturer ASAP :/

Batteries don't make the laptop hot, the hardware does and it is designed to tolerate up to around 100c, if the fans are blocked and it doesn't cool down, the laptop will shut it self down to protect it self.

Please, do stop ************.

If he's using the laptop for say 5 hours a day, it'll overheat and heat the battery up, where my uncle uses his laptop on a desk, he doesn't keep the battery in because it'll heat up if that makes sense, but the reason his laptop probably won't turn on is because he's blown the battery because his laptop kept getting too hot.

Please do stop star star star? I definately know what I'm talking about thank you :)

He's overheated the laptop and blown the battery ;) I bet if he takes the battery out and tries to turn it on while the charger is plugged in it'll work :rolleyes:

Plus, where did I say his charger was making the laptop hot? It's vise versa.

Just *REMOVED* seriously.

The battery is designed to be kept in the laptop 24/7, no matter what you say. You may take the battery out to preserve it's life, but this wouldn't stop it from turning on if the charger was plugged in.

Generally the battery is kept in a totally separate compartment on the laptop and is also designed to withstand high temperatures.

And in that post, you have now proved that you don't know what you are talking about at least three times.

Aww, don't cry.

Yes, it's designed for that, if he has his laptop on a desk, it'll overheat and damage the battery, it happened to my brother in laws laptop, the battery blew where he used to leave it on the coffee table and now he can't use the battery ;)

Skip to around 1:10, apparently your laptops have done this from over heating? Wow you must get some crap up batteries from somewhere with no quality control.

I don't think that 98% of laptop users take their laptop batteries out all the time when they are using them on desks, I rarely take mine out, and when I do I put mine back in before powering the laptop back on, never had any problems, don't know anyone who has.

You just admitted they were designed for the use, what good is a largish battery that you have to take out whenever you want to use it? Sense much?

Vaio provided it, and it blew, so as I was suggesting is the same thing could have happened with him if the lights came on then the screen didn't, so you didn't need to try claw my back, I was giving a possible solution that could get his laptop back on. Didn't see you give him any advice though, only to try prove me wrong. o_O

Oh hey my mum's laptop has been on for over 2 days constantly and doesn't explode, disintegrate, obliterate, conjugate, lemonade, warp, overheat, shut down, stop giving power, give too much power, give just a little less than is needed power or no power at all.

Keeping the battery in 24/7 is better for the laptop because it means you don't have to strain the hinges pulling it out and putting it back in, letting the battery completely die before recharging also helps it. Just thought you should know that.

If the laptop powers on and the screen doesn't them I'm pretty sure a cable has come lose or the screen is damaged.

Yes, unplug it, take the battery out and leave it to cool down, but Hatchet's reasoning behind it was totally false.

Two days, that's very funny.

How about if it's being used as a desktop computer, would it be better to keep it on all the time, power it with the battery in and the charger, or just the charger? ;)

I didn't say that was the reason his laptop doesn't come on, I said it's a possibility the battery could have blown, because it happened to my brother in law. So get your head out of your arse, you think you know it all.

Oh jesus christ, if the battery blew his/her whole house would stink and he/she would be breathing in poisonous gases.

Also, why has Apple made it so you cannot remove the battery in their new MacBook Aluminium range then huh?

Yeah, if it's on your lap, try using it as a desktop PC on a desk non stop and see if your battery blows ;)
