Prior confirmation
Because the VJZ13A * series does not have a light indicator next to the power button, you cannot tell if the power button is turned on.  If you press the power button and nothing happens, wait a moment and then press Shift + Caps Lock.  If the Caps Lock light does not light up, it is possible that there is a power failure in the body.  Please try the following action.

[VJZ13A *] and what to do if Windows hangs up in black screen

If you are taking the computer between big temperature differences (for instance, moving in winter between the cold outside and the warmth inside) or using the computer in areas of high humidity, it is possible that there could be condensation on the inside of the body.  If this is the case, please attempt to turn the computer on after waiting an hour.

  • Sometimes the battery can be completely discharged.  In this case, connect the computer to the power cord and charge it for a while.  Then, attempt to turn the power on again.

 

Workaround
Perform the discharge of the PC, please confirm whether the phenomenon is improved.
1.    Remove all the peripherals and cables that are connected to the body and then press the battery off button for 3-5 seconds.  The battery off button is located near the power button on the bottom of the unit.

Please Note

  • Please use a paper clip to press the battery off button.  Please do not use something that can break off, like a mechanical pencil, because it can cause damage to your computer.
  • Before pressing the battery off button, make sure to shut down the computer (turn the power off) and disconnect the power cord and any other connecting cables.  Please note: when you press the battery off button while the computer is running under battery mode, your data may become corrupted and this may cause Windows to stop functioning properly.
