I hit the power button and the green light at the top blink as it beeps about 6 to 8 times.. The last 3 or 4 beeps are long. Then it powers off. Never even get to see any letters on the screen. I removed the battery and plugged the power cord in and it does the same thing. I read that from a different post on this forum when I was searching. Any ideas? I ran the batter serial # thru the Dell website, and it does not fall under the recall.
