Latitude D610 won't boot

I was using my Latitude D610 and it was working when the low battery light started flashing, so I shut down the computer and plugged it into the adapter. The light went on as if it was charging.

Now when I press the power button the power light comes on, three lights near the volume control turn on, then go off and I can hear the Dvd drive and the Hard Drive starting up but then nothing. The screen just stays blank and nothing else happens.

Anyone have any ideas?

Not having any luck with Dell Latitude laptops! My D600 has just stopped working as well, doing the same thing as it did before, which required a motherboard replacement.

Take out the battery and try booting up. If it boots that means theres either a problem with the battery or the battery connector to the mb. If it doesn't boot, hold FN and power at the same time and watch the num/caps/scroll lock lights. Whatever these lights do can be used by tech support to diagnose problem.

I tried it with and without the battery and the same thing happens. Holding FN and power made the light furthest to the right. I'm guessing 'Scroll Lock' since it is usually the furthest one on the right the picture on the laptop doesn't help much! Any idea what that means? Thanks.

Sounds like the video controller on your mb is trashed. Try with an external monitor and if the video is fine, then its just your LCD. If the video is bad on there, its your mb.
