Probably in sleep mode...

Take out the battery for a few seconds or try holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
Oops!  Hit the submit to quick.

After holding down the power button for 10 seconds wait a couple more seconds and power it back up.

Have tried all the above with no result, have tested the power supply and It is producing the 19.5volts that it is rated to produce, I,m not sure how to test the amp output.
