Is that laptop of yours refusing to cooperate when you hit the “ON” button? We’ll walk you through some basic troubleshooting to help you diagnose the problem and hopefully fix the issue. Even if you don’t have a Dell, we made this video so just about anyone with a Windows PC could find help. Since your PC won’t turn on I’m guessing you’ve borrowed one from someone else or you’re watching this on your phone. Take a deep breath. Watch the video, follow Clint’s helpful advice and let us know if this helped. Be sure to bookmark our blog and follow us on Twitter: @DellSolves .
