OSTC plus not turning on not charging
Posted: Tuesday 5. July 2022, 18:49
Hi,
I haven't used my computer for some time and now it won't turn on. I'm aware that I shouldn't have let the battery drop so low that this could happen, but here I am.
I've tried the magnet on the screen trick while charging to get the charger to re-engage, also tried various power plugs as wasn't sure if the one I usually use was powerful enough for the battery being so flat, but no luck.
I can't get the battery compartment to open to check if I can externally charge the battery or if a replacement battery will work or not.
I also tried taking it on a dive to see if the automatic switch on facility would work, but again, nothing.
Is there anything else I should be trying before sending it back for a bit of an overhaul?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
Alison
