Hi, the mouse that I have been using broke so I found an old mouse at home that I used 7-8 years ago. As soon as I plugged it into my laptop, the laptop turned off and wouldn’t turn back on. It won’t even show any light or indication that it has power. I then plugged the mouse into a different laptop and same thing happened.. I threw the mouse as it’s corrupted obviously but how do I try to fix these laptops now?
 
Remove the power remove the battery discharge the compositors connect the power see if they system powers on. Some power bricks have lights on them so show that they are getting poser do yours show that? Does not mean that they are working properly just means they are on. What happen when you press the power button what color are the light what flash pattern are they showing? Do hear any sounds coming from they system and or pattern? Put the battery back into the system with out the power does that make a difference. Try with the power and they battery does it power on?
 
and check the USB port you plugged that dodgy mouse into that it hasn't mangled the pins and made them short out with each other or the metal shroud.
