I was surfing the net using my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop when suddenly the screen went black. No Fan noise . Completely dead. I tried everything I knew - disconnected/reconnected the AC adapter, took out and again put in the battery. But nothing works.The power on indicator light does not light up when I press the power button. The green light on the AC adapter glows when I connect it to a wall socket but dims or goes off when I plug into the laptop power socket. what is wrong? what is the solution ? Can somebody advise me?

Jump to PostThat sounds like a hardware fault, you will need to take it to a professional for repair I very much suspect!
Jump to Postagree with rik, but if you are up to it you could remove the keyboard and get to the motherboard and check around the power supply area as some laptops have protection fuses there and if blown give the symptoms you have.
