Dell Studio 15 mv power supply
Hi guys,
I'm having an issue powering on my lappy- I'm trying to determine whether it's the power supply or the battery pack. When I switch it on, it will either not respond or turn on for a few seconds and then die.
When I hook the laptop up to the power supply, the white LED above the power input on the laptop displays for 1 or 2 seconds, then disappears. The blue LED on the power cable stays lit up whenever it's plugged in.
Does this happen when the battery is full? or is my power supply or battery pack dead?
Thanks!!
Blair
I would recommend to contact Dell Tech Support for this, I know it might be annoying sometimes but if you are still under warranty it's the best option. This issue sound more to me that it's either the motherboard or the battery but not the power supply. If any of them need to be replaced better to contact them so you don't have to pay. I hope it helps.

Okay, I've managed to boot now, but I'm even more confused than before.
The only way I can boot is when I mash keys (shortcut keys, enter, mouse clicking, etc) whilst pressing the power button.
