Plug in computer to the power cable and leave for about 30 minutes. This will help ensure there's a full charge before proceeding.

It can help to ensure there is no damage to the screen, inspecting it from different angles or lifting it up to hold it. If there is any signs of physical damage this may need to be replaced and the cause of the issue.

There could be debris or dust blocking the vent located on the bottom of the computer, you'll need to inspect the vent

  1. These vents can be located on the back of the computer by flipping it over.
