Windows 10: Laptop won't Start

Hello,

I was doing some task on Chrome browser when suddenly a blue screen error popped up and the PC automatically restarted. Before this, Windows automatically downloaded an update and required a restart to install the update. So while restarting with the blue screen error, my pc freezed and needed forced shut down. The PC freezed again and I had to force again for shut down. On this 2nd attempt, while it was forced for shut down something appeared for a flash of a second while shutting down. Since then, my PC won't light up. No response. Just the power light lights up and an LED on the CapsLock key is blinking. No update on screen. Can you please help me out with what is this problem about and what is the solution?

P.S.: I have tried removing and setting the RAM.

:)

 

My laptop won't start, the power supply is OK.

Hi Anthony,

It is possible that your laptop won't start due to having a defective battery. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

• Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
• Did you get any error messages when you tried to open your computer?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Have you tried removing the battery to run the laptop from just the alternating current power?

We're looking forward to your response.
