No, not without the battery. Many laptops will not function without a working battery in them. So trying it without the battery in won't help. I am talking about a new battery and/or a new charger. Now if you know someone with a charger that has the same specs as yours you can test trying to use that one and see if it works. This would help you narrow down if it is the battery or the charger. Otherwise your options are trying replace the battery, replacing the charger, or getting a new device.
NOTE: Yes, I know some batteries are not so easy to get to, on some devices. However, it should be removable/replaceable. Unless it is under warranty, then you should contact the manufacturer first.


Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, then I would try a local tech.
