Not Booting Up.. Steady Orange light seen while pressing power button

1. Perform a hard reset: Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery (if removable). Press and hold the power button for about 15-30 seconds to drain residual power. Then reconnect the battery and AC adapter and try powering on again.

2. Check the battery health/connection: A faulty or poorly connected battery can cause this issue. Remove and reseat the battery, clean contacts if needed, or test powering on with the battery removed using only the AC adapter.

3. Test another AC adapter: Even if your adapter seems OK, verify it powers correctly and is compatible.

4. Reset BIOS: Resetting BIOS to default can sometimes resolve power recognition problems. This can be done via BIOS settings or the BIOS recovery process.

5. If none of these work, the motherboard may have a fault needing professional repair or replacement.

In summary, start with the hard reset (discharge residual power), remove/reseat or test without the battery, confirm the adapter is good, and reset BIOS.

Persistent orange light and no power beyond these steps often points to motherboard hardware issues.​​
