I would love to do it when we are down there. But our house is still under construction

Perhaps because of photos, files, data, etc that are on the hard drive.

Hopefully the OP is aware of the fact that if they do have to buy a new computer, the hard drive can be removed and used as a slave drive to recover data.

You will be shocked at the speed of a new one compared to your older (?) one. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and go for the new technology which will be old in about a year or sooner.

Hold down the power button for 5 seconds, and hit "Any Key"

If you still want someone to come to your home, I recommend John Chumbler 352 289 1596. He's great and reasonable

I use the Geek Squad at Best Buy. They may not be the cheapest, but I have had excellent service from them.

If your laptop is Dell, they have notoriously bad power supply because they had a few fire instances. Get a new power supply ( or borrow one ) to test. When you plug in, the charging light should come on. If not, there is no power to your computer.

Jon Townsend 352-250-1686 is amazing for repairs, updates and anything 'computer'!

What is the make and model?

If it's an HP laptop, I probably have a spare power supply.

Computer
 
with the laptop plugged in and the battery in place, press and hold the power button in and count to 15, release, count to 10 after release. Press the power button as you normally would and see if it now powers up, if so your good to go, good luck.

PC Planet
 
I have used PC Planet a few times over the years and they seem very knowledgeable and are ‘user friendly’. I also bought a reconditioned laptop from them when my last one had a fried mother board and they were still able to transfer all my programs and files. Highly recommended. Their number is (352)504-4914 and they are located on Main Street in Leesburg close to HWy 27.
