If you have tried to turn on your laptop but it won't respond, the fuse next to the power jack could have blown. When this fuse blows out, you will not be able to start your computer. The electrical current will stop at the fuse and not reach the components attached to the motherboard. Changing this fuse is not hard, but you will have to take your laptop apart.
