The power all seems fine but but then the lights at the top of the keypad (number lock, cap lock, shift) go weird. The number lock (button with a a lock and a number in the middle) starts flashing. The screen doesnt do anything and is just black.
Ive tried holding function and the number lock button down...screen is completely dead.
Same thing happened to me.
I stumbled on this link and the solution made sense to me.

What I did was to nudge in the Hard drive to make sure it wasn't loose and press down slightly on the processor even though it didnt feel loose.
Worked for me. Though I'd help someone else since someone else 's post helped me.
Try reseating the ram modules, see if any difference. IF not, try them one at a time. If issue occurs with only 1 ram module, replace that RAM. If any conbination of RAM causes issue, of if no ram will work in 1 slot, then replace the motherboard.

1. Remove RAM (or RAMs) , clean it and then replace it, if your problem solve that is good and if not:
2. Graphic Chip In Main board not work properly and must be replaced (or Reball) in a laptop repair center. (if your laptop has age longer than 3 or 4 year this problem is normal in vostro 1510). also you can replace your Main Board.
