Laptop won't turn on

[Recursion]

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.

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.

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.

Hatchet you are speaking so much rubbish, the battery is designed to be in there for a lonnnngggg time, you're not supposed to be taking out and in willy nilly.

Smells like your battery has blown

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
