inspiron 5150 won't turn on (heating isn't the problem)
My inspiron 5150 laptop won't turn on at all. The power light and charger light both blink yellow (never orange) every 5 seconds when plugged into AC adapter but without the battery plugged in (because I lost the battery). Last time it was turned on successfully nothing different happened while being used but when turned off then back on it wouldn't turn back on. I know
its not a heating problem because the underside is cool to the touch. I tried holding down the power button for 1 minute then the little " i " button for 3 seconds but nothing worked. :smileysad: one of the people at my mom's work somehow fixed this problem 1/2 year ago but he isn't at work today so i can't use the laptop until he comes back (i have no idea when).
please reply to my email:
traphole12@hotmail.com because its the message centre i check most often.
in the "subject" area simply type "inspiron 5150" so I know its not junk email.
If you can fix my problem your the best person in the world :smileyhappy:

enj, what number do I call at Dell to get in line for 5150 replacement power management systems? Mine just died comletely like Daniel Johnson whom you replied to. Is there a special desk for this horrible problem yet? Thanks, LostNation
