My laptop screen keeps turning off. How do I turn it back on?

Every 60 minutes all laptops will go into sleep mode if they haven't been utilized. If you depress the mousepad or the spacebar on your keyboard it will wake the laptop up and the login screen appears at which time you log in and the laptop is ready for use. If for any reason the mousepad or spacebar does not bring back the login screen, hold the power button down long enough for the light on power button to go out. Wait 30 seconds and depress the power button again until the light on the power button illuminates. This should restart your computer and bring you back to the login screen.

My laptop will not turn on or it blinks and turns off again.

This may indicate that your battery needs to be charged. Please plug in your AC adapter and test to see if it charges. If it does not charge, try using a colleagues AC adapter to see if this solves your issue. Open a helpdesk ticket with the results so that we can troubleshoot further or replace your device as soon as possible.
