My laptop won't turn on. It just started this morning. The green light is on, but my screen is black. What can I do?

    1. What is the brand, model, and age of your laptop?

    2. Green light? You mean on the panel right below the screen? Do any fans spin up when you press the start button? Do they stay on?

    I've seen that happen before if it was in standby mode and lost power.

    1) Remove the battery
    2) Press and hold the power button and keep holding it. The fans should spin up a bit and quite down. Keep holding down the power button and the system should shut off (no lights).
    3) Pull the power cord and let it sit for a couple minutes
    4) Put the battery and power cord back in and try powering it up.
