1. Make sure the battery is charged before use. If you notice that the laptop won't turn on, connect it to the charger first to ensure it is charged before taking any further action.
2. Your laptop may be in sleep mode and having trouble restarting. Turn it off completely and restart it by pressing the power button for 5 seconds, then pressing it again.
3. Make sure that no external connector is connected to the laptop, such as (flash drives and CDs).

A laptop can lose its balance while being carried, causing it to fall from its owner's hand. So, if you're looking for solutions to any problem that results from a laptop falling from your hand to the ground, read these lines.

• First, we must clarify that it is better for a laptop to fall while it is not working than the opposite, as the device can work after a fall without causing any damage.
• However, in the event of a fall with some damage to the device, you should be aware that damage may affect those aspects (screen, motherboard, hard drive, processor, RAM, or graphics card), and this damage will appear as follows:

1. Scratches on the screen or black and white lines when pressing the power button, the solution here is to replace the screen.
2. If you hear an unusual noise from your device or a black or blue screen appears, the problem may lie not with the screen but rather within the laptop, such as the graphics card or hard drive. Some internal components can malfunction after a fall, so check the following:

• Hard disk.
• Video card.
• Connection between all connectors inside the laptop.

It's worth noting that if your laptop falls to the ground, you should take it to a specialist for a full inspection, as all of the aforementioned damage requires a professional repair.
