Dell won’t turn on

by tsalad . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

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?
