Hi, I have a USB fan that’s plugged into my laptop. I turned it on whilst the laptop was shut, the fan stopped and the laptop won’t start now.
It’s a dell latitude 3510 and has an integrated battery. I’ve tried unplugging the power cable and holding the power button down for 30 seconds etc and it won’t start. The laptop is also one of those ones that doesn’t actually turn off, but is asleep, so when you open the screen it turns on by itself.
The stupid thing is I’ve done this before, and about a week later the laptop ended up turning back on. Does anybody know what I’ve done to the laptop here? And is there a quick solution to fix it? (Should I take the laptop back off and disconnect the battery?) I will definitely not plug the fan into the usb anymore and will use a plug socket instead now!
