⚠️ IF YOU FAIL TO IDENTIFY THE SYSTEM YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE

💀 IF THE SYSTEM DOES NOT TURN ON OR DISPLAYS A BLANK SCREEN
Desktops (power)
1️⃣🔌Check cutoff switch position where the power cable is connected to the systems power supply (PSU). Line = on, circle = off. See example: I = ON O = OFF
2️⃣⚡Check seating of the internal wiring connections at BOTH ends of the 24-pin & 8-pin power cables, as well as the following if used: 8-pin PCI-E power cable & 2-pin power switch cable

3️⃣💡Check to see if the power supply is working. Click here for step-by-step power supply testing instructions. Paperclip or Test Tool Required.
Notice: If PSU replaced & previous wiring reused, fried component(s) highly likely.
Desktops (display)
💡Make sure display is connected to GPU
⚠️Still blank? Remove GPU & test iGPU
🛑NOTE: KF, F, Ryzen do NOT have iGPU

Laptops
1️⃣🔌Check with alternate charger. Confirm that the voltage & amps (voltage x amps = watts) listed on the charger brick match the laptop markings.

💡Just because the plug fits, doesn’t mean it’s right. e.g. systems with DC jack & USB-C typically cannot be charged via USB-C. Click here for the laptop charger finder tool.
2️⃣🪫Check battery reset pinhole ◘ , usually located on side or bottom, use if available. Check laptop manual for location. 📍

🔧If the system doesn’t have one, physical disassembly is required in order to disconnect the battery.
3️⃣🩺Check BIOS status. If the system failed during a BIOS update, or is no longer POSTing then you should attempt a BIOS recovery.
