why won’t my laptop power up?
LockedHi everyone I have a dell latitude cpxh500gt laptop. It worked great till my motherboard crashed and it was still under warranty so dell replaced it and got a technician to install it. Less then 2 months after the install my computer crashed again and was no longer under warranty. Now when i press the power button, the power on bar only goes on for less then a second and nothing happens no sign of the processor or fan even getting juice. Its just completely silent! I have recently bought another motherboard w/ processor for it and it does the same thing. The company i bought the motherboard from said they tested it before it was shipped and it was working fine. I tryed it with ram without ram with hard drive and without with just power and with just battery. So I don’t no whether im doing something wrong or if they just sent me a bad board too? I hope that by the symptom I described sumone can tell me what the problem is.
It would be greatly appreciated thank you very much!!!
