Latitude C600 doing nothing!
Till yesterday my latitude C600 was working perfectly, suddenly it shut down. I try to restart but it didn't work at all. I thought maybe it was the power so I did check it up, did all the check up list that Dell recommended, the battery light keeps blinking so then I have power. I try to start and nothing happens. I need help, don’t know what to do!!
The first thing I’ve done was to try to start it… it try to boot but didn’t get through. So with my desktop I log on dell homepage and went to finding solutions: C600, did everything that is says in the no power at all, and partial power problems steps. But nothing work. Meaning: try to start without battery or removable device, just ac power. Then with just battery and no removable device, then with AC power and removable device, then with battery and removable device…try all the combinations and nothing work.
- OK then. Is your A/C power pack receiving power at all i.e. is the LED indicating a live power source? If it is, and you still cannot start the machine (even without the battery), then I would suggest you may have an issue with the power supply unit on your mainboard.
- I was actually referring to the little green LED on your A/C power pack as opposed to the charge indicator on the laptop. If your problem is the power supply unit, you will need to have the motherboard replaced. Probably best to contact Dell Support on that one.

Hi,When you press the Button on the battery, how many Charge Indicator LED comes ON on the Battery ? This is a good way to know if the battery is flat out. If the Ac adapter LED blinks when it is connected to the system while the battery is in, you may have a faulty AC adapter or a Motherboard ( that is when all the battery Indicator LEDs come on and you notice no issues with the battery ). Have you tried removing the Battery and Ac adapter from the Laptop ( no power source ) and holding the Power button for about 15 seconds ? This would bleed the static electricity which may prevent your system from posting. After doing so , try powering it with ac adapter or Battery alone and see if it makes a difference.Good Luck.

Hi andzave,
What troubleshooting did Dell get you to do? Does it work with A/C power and battery, or just A/C power on its own? Would help to know what's already been done in order to help you to resolve this a bit faster.
