Were you getting any error messages the last time the computer worked? Did you do anything to it since it last worked?

Please provide us with as much information as you can so we will be better able to solve your problem.

Welcome to the forum JonSuN8

Right off the bat I would say it's a power issue, power supply's can got out with out any warning.
Use a voltage meter or tester to make sure your power supply is working, but even if it's not - your lap top should still boot off the battery supply unless thats dead also. If batteries sit around for an extended length of time they tend to go dead.

Other reasons could be component failure witch you will more the likely need a technician to repair, as long as it wasn't the hard drive thats damaged all of your data on the drive should be retrievable.

The last time that you used your laptop, was it running off battery? Did the screen appear dim? If the AC Adapter failed, you may have still be running off a fully charged battery, for hours, & not known that there was an issue.

I would check the voltage coming from the AC Adapter (is there an LED on your power brick?). Apart from that, I would try turning it on without the batter, as sometimes a dead battery will not allow the laptop to power on, even from the AC Adapter.

After that, I would open the unit, & start checking the components. I am not suggesting that you do this...

It's possible that the motherboard took a hit & fried. So it's best to narrow it down to the inside by 1st checking everything on the outside

last time i had it pluged in the wall. i was trying to use it without the cord, just turned it on with the cord and it works... y did it mess up?

Is your laptop getting very hot? Try taking the battery out of the laptop after running it for a while. If the battery isn't warm it could be faulty.

Is the power jack working?

That would be a good place to start.

The battery wasnt warm and the jack works so its the battery?

I dont Know about you, but that statment just messes me up
How do you have something pluged in with out the cord ?

Give us more detail, form start to finish

it was working when i had it plugged in. the next day i tried to use it without the cord and it didnt work and after i read that message i plugged it in and it worked. i think its the battry but how do i know?

The only way to know for sure is to test the questionable equipment in a known working environment, & vise/versa.

You could volt test the battery.

I got a new battry and it works. thank you

Do you notice power in it? Is it's fan working? Just pullout battery, clean it and insert again. May be it helps you.
