To turn on your laptop, press the power button.

Sometimes, you can turn on the laptop by opening the lid. Sometimes, you can wake up a laptop by tapping a key on the keyboard. Whether these tricks work depends on how the laptop was shut down. But for all intents and purposes, punching the power button does the job most of the time.

  It's a power button, not an On–Off switch.

 The power button may illuminate while the laptop is on.

 If nothing happens when you punch the button, the battery is most likely dead: Plug the laptop into a wall socket by using its AC adapter cord (or module or power-brick thing).

 Check all power cables! The power brick may wiggle loose from the wall socket cable.

 When everything is plugged in and nothing happens, you have a problem. Contact your dealer or laptop manufacturer for assistance.
