Dead Dell Laptop

[grindstone]

My two year old Dell laptop will not start... last night there was some weird power thing going on in my house and now nothing...

Could it be the power supply? Can I reset the Power Mangement System on this thing?

Or worse?

Thanks!

Try removing the battery and diconnecting the power supply. Leave the laptop like this for a couple of minutes. If the battery was charged, put just the battery in and try to boot the laptop. If that fails, remove the battery, plug it in to the power supply, and try to boot it up.

Let me know if this helped at all.
