Can you please be more specific as to whether it is a
1) power issue
2) No POST
3) NO Boot
4) No video
Power issue - the system does not turn on at all. In this case check the AC adapter and the battery.
No POST - You may have to check the Memory, Hard drive and the optical drive. Can also be an issue with the video card/ key board/ mouse/main board which can prevent the system from turning on.
try reseating all the components above except the motherboard.
No Boot - Issue with the Operating system. Try booting into safe mode and check whether the system turns on perfectly. If so try to uninstall all the software you do not use. and may also consider a system restore. else consider a Dell Complete factory restore.
No video - Try flashing light on the screen and look for the desktop. If you see the icons then probably the back light needs to be changed else the issue is with the display itself or the video card.
Kindly comment.
I have seen a lot of laptops that dont seem to start lately. I have seen a lot of newer machines 1-3 years that have failed. I normally do a pretty thorough check of the system before giving up. Follow the instructions here:
