I'm having trouble with my Gateway laptop model gwtn156-7bk. When I try to power it on, the indicator light comes on for a few seconds and then just shuts off. I'm looking for ideas on what could be causing this issue and how I might fix it.

First off, make sure to check your charger. It should output 19V and 3.15A. A lot of times, issues like this are due to a faulty charger. If it reads correctly and is working, you might want to dig deeper.
Make sure to see if the issue happens with the charger plugged in. If it turns on without the charger but doesn’t boot up, you might have a bad battery. It could just be draining quickly or not charging at all.
When I plug it in, the light just stays on without actually powering anything up. It really seems like a battery or power issue.
I checked mine, and it gives 19V & 3.42A, so it might not be the charger for me.
