You wouldn't even imagine the first procedure in this list can potentially solve your issue.


Clear Out Residual Power from your Computer


Computers run on Power, they need power to turn them ON and keep them going. When you turn OFF your computer, remove the power cord and even when you take out the battery, the computer still retains residual/flea power in its capacitors. This kind of power is still sufficient to make your computer to continue running or to spin the cooling fan for some few more seconds. This kind of residual power could have consequences when you come to power UP your computer again. So how to clear it up and get back to speed.


1. Remove the power cord from your laptop

2. Remove the battery if its a removable battery. If your laptop has a non-removable battery, don't worry, you can skip this step

3. Hold Down and keep on holding down the power button for 15 to 30 seconds

4. Release the Power button

5. Put back the battery and the AC power cord making sure its plugged in the Wall socket and switched ON

6. Turn ON your computer or laptop


That is basically it! Your computer should be UP and Running and you can go back to doing what you do best. If these steps don't bring back your laptop to life then you can move ahead and go through the following article:
