If the Power button is still not working properly, please continue to the next steps in this guide.

Turn off the PC.

Before cleaning, shut down the computer and disconnect all cables, chargers, and adapters. If your computer has a detachable keyboard, remove it before cleaning.

Clean the Power button

Use a damp microfiber cloth or a compressed air canister for cleaning around the Power button.

Do not directly apply liquid cleaners to the keyboard or the Power button and do not use household cleaners.

Note

Make sure the area is completely dry before turning on the computer.

Test the outlet.

Plug something else into the outlet the power cable or charger was in, like a phone charger or lamp. Or, plug the power cable into an outlet you know is working.

Check the charger or power cable's connections.

Make sure the power cord is plugged in properly at both ends. Some cords are in two parts with an adapter in the middle, so make sure that connection is secure, too.

Try turning on your PC using the Power button.
