I have TWO dell studio 17 1737 laptops. One of them died on me and would not power up so I switched batteries from the one that worked which was full and it still did not power up. I removed the battery and attempted to power up only with the AC Adapter and that also did not work. Two hours later I opened the laptop and saw the orange light came on the side so i powered up and presto it turned on, but a minute later it shut down again and now I am back to square one - it will not even turn on - no lights - nada!!
It could be the connection for the battery is damaged in some way, my advice would to take it to a repair shop, let the pro's have a look, power problems should always be dealt with by someone qualified, for you own protection. good luck with it.
The way things have been going with my dell computers and in dealing with Dell in general is to show the your support by buing a HP.
