My Dell Inspiron 8600 won’t turn on. I press the power button, the lights come on as usual for 1-2 seconds, they go off as usual but then the caps lock LED flashes for a few seconds then stops. After that, nothing. The screen never lights up, booting doesn’t start.
This happened after I cleaned one of the fans – which I have to do pretty often to keep it and the heat sink clean – and took the battery out to get the P/N for replacement. I accidentally turned it on with the battery out.
I usually leave it on the charger, no docking station. The battery is original and only lasts 20 minutes off the charger.
Any ideas?
