Hi there, I am a newbie here and any help solving this particular problem would be apprecaited. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 unfortunately was dropped a day ago. Know it wont work, when you switch it on its pwer like turns on for one or two seconds and then repeats itself, never getting anywhere near post. I have tried removing the battery and checking it just with the power adaptor, but this has not made any difference at all . I was wondering could the hard drive or more likely the motherboard have been damaged when I dropped it ?Any suggestions would be appreciated.
