Is your PC 2 years old or 20 ?
dell reUsed the model names, (sad no?)
the service tag information is 10x more better, post that. ok?
the screen is 100% black , never shows text at all??
fan is dead.? (power on and listen close)
remove the large battery pack, run on AC pack only.
runs now? bingo.
fans still dead. do the long reset here.
Dell 15 3000 2016
or the
Inspiron 15 3000? (1998)
I guess is 2 years old max (2016 shows in the guide at dell.com)
not the Dell 3000 from 1998?
3000 series, try tell the full model number and not just the series #
ok? be exact. on model, ok?
if the fan is dead inside say so and first.
that means there is no power to the PC (inside)
the fan must blow air. and speed up if too hot (inside)
if the fan does work.
and battery big out and AC pack good
you can connect the HDMI jack here to the TV and see if you get text or other errors are windows logon screens.
left side HDMI and matching cable. 2016 and newer 3000
if your PC is 1998 (there is VGA JACK TO USE)
the battery large is no good, and shorted out and must be removed.
the tiny RTC coin cell this old is 100% hopeless, this old.
replace this next.
the test the HDD using a linux boot CD.
test the Laptop with Lunux demo CD. see if the PC is ok
then reload what ever OS you like, (ask)
