Starting problem with a Samsung Lappy

Nov 22, 2016 11 Replies

Hi Friends



I have a Samsung Lappy Modl R439. When I press the start button the blue indicator near the button comes on but the lappy does not start.



Wait in this condition for about 10 minuts (blue indicator on). Then press the button so the blue indicator goes off. Now when I press the start button the lappy starts.



The battery is new and fully charged.



What could be the reason? TIA for any suggestions.

Probably bad capacitors on the mommy board.

Report back the timings/consequence if you do the following Put it in a fridge for 1/2 hour before starting up procedure Put over a room radiator 1/2 hour,before starting up

Have they been told to stand in the corner?

OP, Try this step by step.

Unplug the power adapter. Pull out the laptop's battery. Press and hold down the Power button for 45-60 seconds. Release the Power button. Put the battery back in the laptop and try starting it.

Yes, if it is bad caps, it will be much happier warm, and really hard to get running when cold.

The capacitors are heat sensitive, and ........................
