I have had my Inspiron 5100 for almost a year now and recently it hasnt been starting up. Occasionally when I go to power it on it wont and I have to repeatedly press the power button. The green lights go on showing that it powers up but nothing appears on the screen. I have tried updating the video hardware but that didnt help and I have no idea what to do. I was just thinking about sending it back to DELL before my warranty runs out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you hear the system power up?? (fan, HD spinning, etc.) Or is it absolutely no power at all??

mine did the same thing after 6 months...Dell said we spilled something on it and wanted 750.00 to fix it....beware if you send it to Dell......i had it fixed locally and it was the power supply......will never buy a Dell laptop again......the latest survey i saw said 1 out of 4 go bad....Good Luck....
