If your laptop won’t turn on, it is not the end of the world.  There are a few easy things you can try to get your computer back on track.  Here’s what you can do:

1. Replace your AC Adapter.  You might have a bad one.
2. Replace your RAM.  Bad memory can prevent your computer from starting up.
3. Take out your battery and plug in your AC adapter.  Your laptop might have been in a power cycle that will be resolved by doing this.
4. Plug your laptop’s AC Adapter into another power plug or surge protector.  NYC apartments are known for bad power switches.

If the above doesn’t work, you could have a bad motherboard, hard drive, or other hardware failure.  Then, you’ll need to get your laptop repaired by an NYC computer repair company.
