That symbol is a circle with a vertical line passing through its top portion, and it represents the binary concept of\u00a0 \u201c1\u201d and \u201c0\u201d for \u201con\u201d and \u201coff.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-735329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PC_power_button.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Finger pushing power button.\" width=\"650\" height=\"367\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/finger-about-press-power-button-hardware-509699632\" data-credittext=\"Olivier Le Moal \/ Shutterstock.com\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/finger-about-press-power-button-hardware-509699632\">Olivier Le Moal \/ Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On many all-in one desktop PCs (that incorporate a display into the rest of the computer), the power button might be on the side edge of back side of the display, possibly near where the power cord plugs into the unit.<\/p>\n<p>On laptop and tablet PCs, the power button can be anywhere\u2014on the surface near a keyboard, a key on the keyboard itself, on a side edge, or on the back. In this case, it\u2019s best to look in your device\u2019s manual for assistance in locating the right button.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-749075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/win11_turn_off_pc.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A finger pushing a laptop power button.\" width=\"650\" height=\"347\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/finger-pushing-power-button-wake-laptop-185944529\">Suwan Waenlor\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you find the power button, try pushing it once.

First, look at the connector where the cord plugs into the power supply. If it\u2019s removable, unplug the connector from the power supply and re-insert it firmly. Then follow the cable all the way to the wall plug (to make sure you\u2019ve got the right cable if there\u2019s a tangle around it).

The outlet strip or extension cord might be faulty. It\u2019s also possible that the wall outlet is faulty.
