I would like to know what is the procedure for discharging capacitors of a laptop, as my laptop is not able to power up. The AC power light starts to blink as soon as it's plugged to the laptop.

The way to do this is, with the computer shut down, unplug the computer, remove the battery, and hold the power button down for 30 seconds. This is also called a reset, good for correcting certain issues that pop up with laptops. It essentially drains all the stored energy that remains in a laptop after shut down.

There may be another issue that your laptop has. If the only thing that blinks is the AC power light, check the power adapter itself or the battery. I have seen this happen in laptops with these at fault. Either way the battery may be dead

i tried doing that but it didn't work, the light on the AC power plug still blinks, and still the laptop is not starting up.– RayDec 22, 2013 at 0:35
