Latitude C610

I recently replaced my motherboard with a new/refurbished one from Dell. I have installed it and when I power it up all I see are the num lock, shift lock, & scroll lights, and the power & drive lights which all stay on for about 5 seconds then they turn off. I resat teh cpu, ram, hard drive etc, still nothing! I even plugged in an external mouse, keyboard and monitor and still the same results. Any tips on what could be wrong?

    Hi,

    It could be a faulty MBD, but make sure the memory is seated correctly. I would take out the MBD, fit the CPU and memory and try it with only the adapter plugged in. If all is well, it will boot. Without a screen you wont see anything, but it should stay powered up. Are you able to test your CPU and memory in another machine ? What was the original fault ?

    The best you can do is to send the MB back to DELL and order a new one. I have the same starting issue with a C610. Exchanging parts and even the BIOS-Chip did not help.
