Here are a few things to try if your laptop’s screen isn’t turning on after closing and opening it:
- Check to make sure the laptop is plugged in.
- Check the power strip or surge protector to make sure it’s on.
- Make sure the power cord is plugged securely into your laptop and the AC adapter (or wall outlet).
- Restart your laptop by pressing and holding the power button.
- Unplug the power cord from both the laptop and AC adapter (wall outlet) and then reconnect.
- Replace the AC adapter if it’s worn or damaged.
- Check the laptop’s internal operating settings and reset them, if necessary.
