Dell Latitude D610 won't start
 |
So, my boyfriend's Dell Latitude D610 won't turn on.
We've tried powering up with the battery adapter plugged in. We've tried it with it unplugged.
The the adapter itself seems to be fine.
When I press the power button the LED "power on" indicator comes on, and the the LED "battery adapter plugged-in" flashes once.... AND best of all....the LED "CAPS-lock" indicator comes on and flashes.
After 10 seconds everything shuts off.
We have done this repeatedly and nothing changes.
Any ideas?

Check to see if the battery is shorted.
Remove the battery and press the button on it to see if any charge exist on it. You should see all 5 leds light up. If 1 to 5 light up the battery may be ok.
if 1,3,5 light up the battery is bad.
if it flashes - the battery is bad
Try running the laptop without the battery - if it works normally - the battery MAY be the culprit.
Other issues could be, the DC jack on the laptop is getting a poor connection, and will need to be replaced.
If the CAP LOCKS flashes 4x - Try taking out 1 memory stick at a time and swap.
Don't any exert force to remove memory - That model has a rep for bad solder on memory connectors.
Hope that help, let us know how it turns out.

Thanks.
I checked the battery - it's fine. All 5 LEDs lit up.
I tried running it without the battery - same case as before.
I don't think it's the DC jack given the above.
CAPS-LOCK flashed 10 times, not 4. - There's only 1 memory stick too.
Any other ideas?
